  1. Well once I ascertain what is actually wrong on the viewing side I'll hopefully get it working, but the way it works is the domain name is hosted on namesco (names.co.uk) and in the options I can forward the domain to another URL, which I use to forward to my dynamic dns which forwards to my VM. Whatever happens viewing the source shows it still portrays the page as a frame, surely this means that navigating elsewhere such as using a hyperlink will continue to maintain the URL as the same. I can of course change the DNS settings for the website to point to my dynamic dns but surely I need some sort of DNS on my network to point the domain name in the right direction?
  2. Hi requinix, Thanks for replying, what you're saying is basically I need to use my dynamic dns or look into hosting?
  3. Hey Guys, I have a situation that has been bugging me for a long time, my website is currently hosted on a virtual machine on my home PC. I have my domain which redirects to a dynamic dns which points port 80 to port 8080 on my router, that port fowards to the virtual machine as it's network adapter allows me to put it on my local network as a PC with it's own IP address. When anyone connects to the website the URL stays the same so they still think they are visiting the same URL and not the redirected one. Let's be honest that is how a website should work. Connecting to the website and everything else is fine, however if you change from the page you see initially, the home page, the URL will not change at all. Any link salso redirect to the original domain and any following directories, yet the URL will stay the same no matter how you connect to the website. If you connect to a different page other than the home page, say /contact.html then no matter where you go on the site the URL stays as /contact.html. I have a feeling this is because I host it at home without DNS on my network pointing to places and I've not figured out a way to do that instead, but I also cannot understand why it wouldn't amend the URL? Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks guys! Emrys.

  5. I didn't get any errors back, as I said my email is working fine I can send and receive externally. However, as it is clear by the config files, I use yahoo as an smtp relay.
  6. Hi Guys, I'm not running the best setup as I'm hosting my website and email server on my own PC as VMs. Nonetheless everything works perfectly fine except this one bit. My web server is separate from my email server, I am using XAMPP and will post my ini snippets if you guys need them. I'd tried almost everything I know so that's why I'm coming to you guys for some help. I want to use mail() to email myself from my web server, so if a user completes a form and submits it, the mail() function sends me the email with the details. All the variables and everything else are going through no problem, however I just cannot seem to get the mail() function to actually send the email. [mail function] ; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with an SMTP Server like Mercury SMTP = smtp.mail.yahoo.com smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ; http://php.net/sendmail-from sendmail_from = phpmail@stardragons.co.uk ; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (1): If XAMPP is installed in a base directory with spaces (e.g. c:\program filesE:\star Dragons) fakemail and mailtodisk do not work correctly. ; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (2): In this case please copy the sendmail or mailtodisk folder in your root folder (e.g. C:\sendmail) and use this for sendmail_path. ; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with fakemail for forwarding to your mailbox (sendmail.exe in the sendmail folder) sendmail_path = "\"E:\star Dragons\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t" ; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with mailToDisk, It writes all mails in the E:\star Dragons\mailoutput folder ;sendmail_path = "E:\star Dragons\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe" ; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters ; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of ; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode. ;mail.force_extra_parameters = ; Add X-PHP-Originating-Script: that will include uid of the script followed by the filename mail.add_x_header = Off ; Log all mail() calls including the full path of the script, line #, to address and headers ;mail.log = "E:\star Dragons\php\logs\php_mail.log" ; configuration for fake sendmail ; if this file doesn't exist, sendmail.exe will look for the settings in ; the registry, under HKLM\Software\Sendmail [sendmail] ; you must change mail.mydomain.com to your smtp server, ; or to IIS's "pickup" directory. (generally C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup) ; emails delivered via IIS's pickup directory cause sendmail to ; run quicker, but you won't get error messages back to the calling ; application. smtp_server=smtp.mail.yahoo.com ; smtp port (normally 25) smtp_port=25 ; SMTPS (SSL) support ; auto = use SSL for port 465, otherwise try to use TLS ; ssl = alway use SSL ; tls = always use TLS ; none = never try to use SSL smtp_ssl=none ; the default domain for this server will be read from the registry ; this will be appended to email addresses when one isn't provided ; if you want to override the value in the registry, uncomment and modify ;default_domain=stardragons.co.uk ; log smtp errors to error.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe) ; uncomment to enable logging error_logfile=error.log ; create debug log as debug.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe) ; uncomment to enable debugging debug_logfile=debug.log ; if your smtp server requires authentication, modify the following two lines auth_username=stardragons@yahoo.co.uk auth_password=******** ; if your smtp server uses pop3 before smtp authentication, modify the ; following three lines. do not enable unless it is required. pop3_server= pop3_username= pop3_password= ; force the sender to always be the following email address ; this will only affect the "MAIL FROM" command, it won't modify ; the "From: " header of the message content force_sender= ; force the sender to always be the following email address ; this will only affect the "RCTP TO" command, it won't modify ; the "To: " header of the message content force_recipient= ; sendmail will use your hostname and your default_domain in the ehlo/helo ; smtp greeting. you can manually set the ehlo/helo name if required hostname= NOTE: I HAVE CHANGED THE NAME AND THE PASSWORDS ETC. FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. THOSE PARTS I AM 99% SURE AREN'T THE PROBLEM. MY EMAIL WORKS FOR SENDING AND RECEIVING. Can you guys shed any light on this situation please? Many Thanks, Emrys.
