I've got MediaWiki running and online but am not
getting any emails when
pages are modified.
I have opted to watch the pages so its not a basic error like that.
ANy suggestions for things to check would be appreciated.
I'll start with the obvious questions:
1) Are you running MediaWiki 1.5 or later? 1.4 and earlier do not include this
feature.
2) Have you enabled this feature? It's not on otherwise.
3) Have you set the email notification options on your user account? Otherwise
you'll get no notifications.
4) Have you entered an email address on the account? Otherwise you'll get no
notifications.
5) If email address confirmation is on, have you confirmed the address? (See
preferences.) Otherwise you'll get no notifications.
6) Is someone _else_ editing the pages? You get no notifications on your own edits.
7) Is your mail server set up correctly? Is PHP set up to send mail correctly?
Have you checked the logs? Have you checked for spam blocking or other problems?
