Comments aren't sent to me :-(

[Hilde]

I set the Send mails to admin to 'yes' and still haven't received anything. Several comments have been made. WHat can I do?

Does your server support the php mail() command? Do you run any other PHP application on your server which successfully sends mails?

I've been trying to change the admin email address in serendipity for about ten minutes now, it keeps bouncing back to the original email address which I will be discarding soon. Help!

Hi Hilde!

Maybe you need to login to s9y and there go to the usermanagement panel, there you can chang your mail adress. If that doesn'T work, try if you can see the same option in the configuration panel.

(Using serendipity 0.7-beta, that is)

If all fails, use phpMyAdmin or something similar to change it manually in your database:

UPDATE serendipity_authors SET email = 'hilde@yourhost.com';
UPDATE serendipity_config SET value = 'hilde@yourhost.com' WHERE name = 'email';

Good luck,
Garvin.

Hey Garvin,

It finally worked! *phew* wipes sweat off face...
Apparently it did take after the twentieth time I tried to change it, but it didn't tell me...

Thanks a million!
