Bug #76375 wiki.php.net: cannot register
Submitted: 2018-05-25 04:09 UTC Modified: 2019-08-28 20:15 UTC
From: zach at zrhoffmn dot net Assigned: kelunik (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Website problem
PHP Version: Irrelevant OS: Firefox on 64-bit Arch Linux
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
Objective:
I tried to register at https://wiki.php.net/rfc/compact?do=register .

Other info: I am pretty sure I put the correct email address in the "To which email address do you have to send an email to now?" field. I gave the "internals" list address.

Expected result:
----------------
Successfully registering

Actual result:
--------------
The page was loading for about 1 minute. After that, I was returned to https://wiki.php.net/rfc/compact?do=register but with 2 error messages:
• There was an unexpected problem communicating with SMTP: Could not open SMTP Port.
• Looks like there was an error on sending the password mail. Please contact the admin!

When I tried to register again, I received 2 error messages again. The first one was blank, and the second one said
• The user could not be created.

I had the same result when I tried again the third time.

I'm not sure why the connection to the mail servers doesn't work properly. I've contacted Sascha for more information.

Correct, it still does not work.

Sorry for the delay, SMTP works again. I have currently enabled IPv4 preference over IPv6, because there seem to be unknown issues with the IPv6 stack.

I tried 3 times at https://wiki.php.net/compact?do=register but cannot get it to work. The first error is blank, and the second error says "The user could not be created."

I was able to create a new test user and did receive an email. The reason I was not able to create a user with my desired name is that that username already exists from the first attempt that did not send an email.

A password reset doesn't work to log into the other account?
 [2018-06-17 17:07 UTC] zrhoffman at ku dot edu
If by "other account", you mean the first one, "zrhoffman", then no, a password reset does not work, because I receive no email. I provided more detail here: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76491

#76491 is a duplicate of this bug. This comment should have been added before:

I tried again today and I *did* receive the password reset email! I have not attempted this for a month or two, so no clue when exactly it started working. Closing...
