I am new to Mantis bug tracker and I want to enable the email notification after registering for a new account.
Well, I installed the MantisBT correctly without any problem on my local computer, I already changed the admin's password and removed the admin folder in the directory. After this I signed up for a new account, there was a confirmation message flashed saying that I need to verify my registration via email. My problem here is that no verification message was sent to my email. According to one of the tutorials I found, I need to configure first my config_inc.php. After the installation, the initial content of my config_inc.php was
<?php
$g_hostname = 'localhost';
$g_db_username = '<myUser>';
$g_db_password = '<myPass>';
$g_database_name = 'bugtracker';
$g_db_type = 'mysql';
?>
So I changed it to. *I am using my gmail account here
<?php
$g_hostname = 'localhost';
$g_db_username = '<myUser>';
$g_db_password = '<myPass>';
$g_database_name = 'bugtracker';
$g_db_type = 'mysql';
$g_allow_signup = ON;
$g_allow_anonymous_login = OFF;
$g_anonymous_account = '';
$g_phpMailer_method = PHPMAILER_METHOD_SMTP;
$g_smtp_host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$g_smtp_username = '<myUser@gmail.com>';
$g_smtp_password = '<myPass>';
$g_administrator_email = '<myUser@gmail.com>';
$g_webmaster_email = '<myUser@gmail.com>';
$g_from_name = 'Mantis Bug Tracker';
$g_from_email = '<myUser@gmail.com>';
$g_return_path_email = '<myUser@gmail.com>';
$g_email_receive_own = OFF;
$g_email_send_using_cronjob = OFF;
$g_allow_file_upload = ON;
$g_file_upload_method = DATABASE;
$g_absolute_path_default_upload_folder = '';
$g_max_file_size = 5000000;
$g_preview_attachments_inline_max_size = 256 * 1024;
$g_allowed_files = '';
$g_disallowed_files = '';
$g_window_title = 'MantisBT';
$g_logo_image = 'images/mantis_logo.gif';
$g_favicon_image = 'images/favicon.ico';
$g_show_realname = OFF;
$g_show_user_realname_threshold = NOBODY;
$g_default_home_page = 'my_view_page.php';
?>
I overwrite my config_inc.php with this one and then register for a new account. After submitting the information, an error occured saying:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method SMTP::getError() in < myDirectory >\mantis\library\phpmailer\class.phpmailer.php on line 1910.
And now I'm stucked, please help me with this, I need to setup my email notification. I was just creating accounts but I cannot use them because I need to verify it.
Please let me know if I need to modify some of the related files and what are the steps.
Thanks for the help!
According to a posting on the MantisBT forums, these are working settings for GMail:
$g_phpMailer_method = PHPMAILER_METHOD_SMTP;
$g_smtp_host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$g_smtp_username = 'username@gmail.com';
$g_smtp_password = 'yourpassword';
$g_smtp_connection_mode = 'ssl';
$g_smtp_port = 465;
