Question

I am having a problem registering users from my intranet. When I register, and click "Submit" it hangs and freezes. My apache server-status says

Srv PID Acc M CPU SS Req Conn Child Slot Host VHost Request

. 0 19350 0/5/5 _ 1.88 567 121214 0.0 0.00 0.00 192.168.0.6 andrew.newman.net POST twiki/bin//register/Main/WebHome HTTP/1.1

What do I do? I haven't tried registering from the internet yet, but can you tell me what is wrong, and how I can fix this proben? I (root) can't even register from my own localhost. Thanx

After a while, I got forwarded to http://192.168.0.4/twiki/bin//register/Main/WebHome and it said:

.Software error:

Can't call method "mail" on an undefined value at ../lib/TWiki/Net.pm line 187.

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (root@localhost), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

Thanx

Answer

Hi,

You need to set the SMTPMAILHOST in TWikiPreferences that you are sending email to - TWiki is picking up that Net::SMTP is loaded and using this rather than sendmail etc. This is also the cause of the delay, though users should be registered OK. You should be able to set this value to nothing ('Set SMTPMAILHOST = ') in order to force sendmail to be used - see the recently updated TWiki installation guide.

Please see SupportGuidelines as well - the error log in Apache may provide info on any other problems, e.g. permissions.

The TWikiBetaRelease provides a more sensible error message for this.
