First - Congrats on the new release - looks great!

Just upgraded to play around a little and when I post new comments I get the error:

There is no mail handler configured

and I do not get a email notification. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I have the default zenphoto_sendmail plugin enabled.

Thanks -

Looks like the mail handlers need to load earlier in the sequence. Please change line 6 of zenphoto_sendmail.php to read `$plugin_is_filter = 5|CLASS_PLUGIN;`

Then go to your plugins page and do an APPLY.

Same here.
Unfortunately changing line 6 of zenphoto_sendmail.php does not solve it.

It takes more than just changing the line. You also have to re-save your plugins--thus the "Then go to your plugins page and do an APPLY."

Following sbillard's instructions worked for me (I just upgraded to 1.4 and experienced the same mail handler problem).

Hello, I am installing zenphoto-1.4.0.2.tar.gz on Ubuntu 10.10. and I am facing the same problem.
line 6 of zenphoto_sendmail.php already looks like this $plugin_is_filter = 5|CLASS_PLUGIN;
Also let me know whats the url of plugin page.
Thanks,
Mallik

That page is quite obviously on the backend...

You need to re-save your plugins. There was initially a bug in that line that has been corrected. However unless the plugins are re-saved the database does not get corrected.

sbillard, thanks for your reply. I am new to the zenphotos and its not clear to me what do you mean by "re saving the plugins". I see five sub folders in the /zenphoto/plugins folder. none of sub folders contain any file. I guess I am missing something which is obvious to you guys. Please give me more details.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Mallik

Go to the plugins tab on the backend and hit "apply" again.

Hi acrylian, Kindly explain how to go the "plugins tab on the backend". I guess its a .php page which has apply button OR you want me to do changes in mysql DB.
Please elaborate in detail. Thanks for your patience and help!

Visit the Zenphoto backend and you really should see it...

I scanned all the files but couldn't find it
Can you help me?
Mallik

Sorry, did you even take a look at what you installed and how to use it? No need to scan files. You really should know that there is an administration backend you have to login to use Zenphoto at all. There you find the tab...

Hi acrylian, Let me explain what has happened. I started the installation from zenphoto/zp-core/setup.php. then set up was completed and next task was to create administration account. Then account was successfully created and I am asked to login to the admin account with user name (which I have provided in previous step) and password shown to me on screen from CAPTCHA. When I enter the username and password (CAPTCHA) I get a message that "Mail send failed. There is no mail handler configured."

So now I am locked. The admin account is created but I can not login since I don't get my new password on my email.

>>>You really should know that there is an administration backend you have to login to use Zenphoto at all. There you find the tab...

solutions mentioned in this thread don't help because I can not login to admin account. I guess I need to so some changes directly in DB.
which will have same effect of "click the apply button on plugns page"
to break this dead lock.

I hope I was able to explain my problem.
Thanks again for looking into this,
Mallik

Well, how shall I/we know that when you don't tell all info to your issue in the first place? You talked about comments...

After installing you should have entered a user name and a password of your choice. With that you should be able to login. No captcha needed to create that inital account at all.

If you enter the captcha you actually reset the password. Of course if your mail handler is not configured no mail can be sent. Now you have to follow this instructions:

>>>I tried this but it did not work. If it had worked I wouldn't have come up with this issue in first place. Can you test this use case with the current release and confirm the issue.

Please let me know if I should create a new thread for this.

Yes, but yo udid not say that you have problems logging in. See:

Hello, I am installing zenphoto-1.4.0.2.tar.gz on Ubuntu 10.10. and I am facing the same problem.
line 6 of zenphoto_sendmail.php already looks like this $plugin_is_filter = 5|CLASS_PLUGIN;
Also let me know whats the url of plugin page.

We have no reports about not being able to create the master account and I did not encounter that myself. Sorry.

You will have to look into your server's error logs. If you don't know where these are aks your host the same

This is the deadlock situation I explained earlier.

Where did you explain anything to this? You have to access your database using a tool like phpMyAdmin and delete a table (that's not the same as a "tab"...). If you don't know how to do this again ask your host.

I'm having this problem too. I also can't find the file
zenphoto_sendmail.php

Where is it located? I have the latest version of ZP.

It's a plugin so it is in `zp-core/zp-extensions`.
