[Serusers] Serweb does not send mail on registration

[Bart J. Smit]

Hi Karel,

Fixed! 8-)

I did 'yum -y install php-imap' which fixed the imap_8bit() function
call.

I then got "sorry -- cannot open write fifo" on the registration
confirmation page.

This file is not writable by my httpd user (user apache on CentOS) so I
set the ownership to root.apache. This is reset to root.root when ser
starts, so I added 'chown root.apache /tmp/ser_fifo' to the start
section of the /etc/init.d/ser script, just before the 'return $RETVAL'
line.

Serweb now works a treat.

Thanks again for your code and your help,

Bart...

well, you need the imap extension for php. It should be sufficient to 
add this line to your php.ini:

extension=imap.so
