Hi i am testing ST on my server before putting it live on my site.
I am having a number of problems.
I wont post a long list here but I will ask this
Why does the activation email get sent twice and why when the link is clicked does it go to an unavailable web page and not actually activate the account ?

Hope you can help, im new at all this

Here a test script:

<?php



// Replace yourœtestemail.dom (in the next line) with your email address

$email = "your@testemail.dom";

    

require("core.php");

            

echo "Mail test<br /><br />Sending test email to $email .... ";

$headers = MailHeader("$email","$email","$email","$email");

mail($email, "Test Email","This is just a test email from your Storyteller CMS installation", $headers);    

echo "sent";

    

?>

Replace your@testemail.dom with your email account and upload the script to the Storyteller main directory. Then run the script from your browser.

Did you receive the test email once or twice?

I know it . AOL is often the source of strange behaviors. Are you using AOL own email program or an external program such as Outlook?

Is this always happened on your installation? Which browser/provider are you using? Did you notice that behavior on this website as well?

Is it the same email twice? Storyteller is sending two emails during the registration: The email with the activation link, and a welcome email.

Hmm I seem to have sorted it out now, thanks to your good self phillipp.

I had included the url but forgot to include the sub directory where ST is situated, it does activate the account now but still sends two emails ?

There should be only a single activation email. Did you receive that email always twice?

You need to set the URL/path of your website under Other/Config in the admin section.
