The top of my pages at http://www.reinventinglife.org shows the following:
Backing up and emailing system mysqldata
Deleting backup file /home/content/m/c/k/mckayepp2/html/joomla/media/19_07_2008.sql.gz

The top of the control panel also says:

* SMTP Error! Could not connect to SMTP host.
* SMTP Error! Could not connect to SMTP host.

My server tells me the issue is in the html – and I have experimented back and forth with anything I could find in the config that might seem to relate.

I am unfamiliar (as of yet) with the workings of mysql.

Help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Alana

Please login your jooml acp and ‘Global Configuration’ from site menu and click on server TAB;
disable the SMTP Authentication, to set select ‘NO’ logout > close your browser > open on new browser.

hope everything will be ok.

All the best. 🙂

I don’t know if they are related but Explorer is not able to access any files past the root file on the server – no way of knowing actually if it really is accessing the root since I can’t open it.

:DThe problem turned out to be related to lazy backup – when I turned that off, all went back to normal.

Ha! was going to suggest that, but i was too lazy to type it up. I got a clue from the error message, like how it said “backup” a couple of times.

a lot of the free backup utilities get frozen in various states of automatic whatevers. remember, if your data really matters to you, back it up by hand. auto backups are like car rental liability insurance, they’re good in concept but you usually get screwed in the end…
