I was able to follow the instructions and get the wwm6 installed. and I believe I have it configured correctly.

I am able to register a test account, and was able to receive emails. However, I cannot seem to send out any email.

I compose an email and send to to my work email address (and my hotmail and yahoo) but once i submitted it, it takes me to a white blank page. I also checked for my test emails, but none.

The data.cgi does not provide any clues or errrors.

Is it normal to see a blank white page after submitting the forum. I have not yet tried to modify the templates to change the looks.

I log in as admin... the when to change settings, and set sendmail from "0" to "1" and it started working.

so instead of reporting something that isnt working, just reporting documentation error. Please note that in readme.txt, concerning to change "0" to "1" if you are using sendmail.

The documentation basically assumes that you are using sendmail. The default setting should be 1 when you do a fresh install. If you read the docs again it says to unhash (uncomment) use Net::SMTP if you are using smtp. I would say yes he might want to change the documentation to say, if not using sendmail, make sure to change to 0 and unhash use Net::SMTP but in most cases you will use sendmail anyways.

Thats not correct. I *AM* using sendmail. and the default was "0", i just installed it and havent even done much changes. After looking closely at the other items to change, I saw this at zero, and figure thats the default and it should use sendmail by default... but after failed attempts, i decided to use "1" and voila!

working perfect!

Well not sure exactly just looked at the config settings that I have from the zip and it was set to 1 but also if you have alot of experience in installing scripts 1 would be a true value as 0 would be false or u can say 1 for yes and 0 for no.
