Got to update your PHP version go to your x10hosting control panel and click the link.

Sorry, but that is incorrect. PHP upgrades are disabled for everyone at the moment.

Why is it that so few people bother to use Search?

OK, look - please read this post ; http://forums.x10hosting.com/free-ho...tml#post548371

Here's my reason: It's too much of a pain in the a** to find what you're looking for! You mostly find TONS of outdated posts, or old irrelivent threads. OR you find EXACTLY what you're looking for! and it either NEVER got answered, or was instucted to "search the forums first"

Not many are "search" gurus, and if the search involves more than just dropping in the (assumed) relivent words and search... forget it! I won't and neither will anyone else. I come to the forums to find ANSWERS, NOT more of the same unanswered questions.

Sorry if that seems sharp, but it's the truth.

search for "My mail program won't work anymore" and when you get your results, you'll SEE why most don't try again. They search for answers.... not unanswered questions...

The post I linked to was "stickied" to make it idiot proof. Oh well, I guess even that wasn't enough.

Judging by your batch of posts today, nchgaming, I'd guess someone's having a bad day. ;)

a bad week! no progress here, at all

I do agree that something needs to be done to improve member's access to important info & news.

Here's my most recent xrantx post on the subject ; http://forums.x10hosting.com/off-top...tml#post548067. Did you contribute? I'd like to see something get implemented, but I bet it doesn't!

Well duh! Search here isn't a speech recognition program, or a Google, which has many billions of entries to search through. If you tried to search something sensible, like the keyword in the first post of this thread ie. mail(), then you get plenty of posts which immediately answer that question ;

http://forums.x10hosting.com/free-ho...r-problem.html ........and so on. Conclusion: "mail() and fsockopen() will not work until further notice. This is known by the staff. You should not submit tickets for problems with mail() and fsockopen() or request to have your PHP version changed."

So, Search was easy, wasn't it?! Some people just can't be helped. Some people can't even help themselves. :nuts:

And yes, sometimes the only solution to a problem is to wait until other people are ready & able to fix it for you. Get used to it. Get over it!

OK - I've just logged on after a while and checked the account registrations on my site (Cossacks).

None of them are validating due to mail() issues.

I have done a search and followed the links provided but none seem to answer the question definitively.

All I get is a buch of info on Server upgrades and losing files and mail will be re-instated "shortly"...

When is the mail() function back up as this is critical to my sites performance?

PS - stupid question, but what is the need for almost constant server upgrades and related "teething problems??"

The question was answered in Corey's post : some PHP & that function are disabled until the server upgrade is complete & everything is fixed. No date known, so I'm afraid you'll just need to wait.

The reason for the upgrades was given here ; http://forums.x10hosting.com/news-an...tml#post543433
