Question

I'm totally new to Web design and PHP. I just set up my site with their PHP Nuke site and I'm having problems. I don't know if this is the place to aske for help but I'm at a loss. Whenever anyone tries to create a new account it send them an e-mail with the incorrect path. If you add the correct path to the email it allows the user to be created. Is there something that I'm doing wrong, a setting or anything? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

phpnuke has its own community. It's likely you get answers more quickly there
http://phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=Community
To speed things up a bit you should include what version of phpNuke you're using, how the link looks like now and what it should be.
btw: Did you configure your site by going to admin.php as mentioned in
INSTALL? The site info can be edited in the
preferences section

I've checked every configuration that I can see possible. I had a new person register and they were told to follow
http://www.johnfpratt.com/modules.php?n ... 28b86f3a18
but the correct path to my php is
http://johnfpratt.com/ipw-web/portal/cms/
so if i add that into the link before /modules it works just fine.
I've contacted Ipowerweb, my hosts and they either don't know what the problem is, or are just giving me the run around. I can enter users manually though and they work just fine. I don't know, I just figured I had the wrong path, but that didn't help any. Thanks for your help though.

In the domain name option I have just johnfpratt.com, and I put ipw-web/portal/cms in the script path. Is there a different way that I should have this?

as far as I can see from the code the site url must be the url to your nuke-basedir.
Try
http://johnfpratt.com/ipw-web/portal/cms

Yeah, I guess I didn't think of that. It's just that it asked for the Domain Name, so I put johnfpratt.com Then where it said Script path, it asks for the path where phpBB2 is located relative to the domain name, so I put ipw-web/portal/cms there.
I'll have to try it out and see what happens. I'm running out of e-mails to test it on though, since you can only use each once. Thanks for your help too.

accounts can be deleted in the "Edit Users" section.
My guess is, the email address can be used again then

That's the thing, if I go to users, the account isn't there. I can create accounts through the admin section, they just can't do it on their own by responding to the e-mail they get. Since the email gets a 404 error, no account is created. If I try and create another account using the same e-mail, it says it's in use already.
I'll have to mess around with this more, it's really starting to irritate me. I know it just has to be a setting somewhere, and it will all be simple once I find out what it is.

setting the whole path in "site url", i.e.
http://localhost/nuketest/html, I get working links within the emails
