Hi,

I have installed Moodle 1.9.2+ windows packageand I am using XAMPP.

The issue is that when we assign any course to students it doesn't send email to students stating that the course is assigned to you. I have also set the SMTP server correctly. Can anybody help to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance smile

Regards
Ketan.

I am encountering the same problem, but unlike her I am using Linux + cpanel + fantastico..

I dont know where is the problem, is it on my mail server or on my configuration.. Can anyone give us some sort of example configurations?

Currently Moodle can be configured to send a Welcome message when a student self-enrolls in a course but not when they are assigned. This has been reported as a feature request as MDL-15916. You can vote for this and possibly get it created sooner.

For now, you can do this manually through the Participant block. You can use the Participants block for the course to select the enrolled users you want to send the message to.

So, for now the "self based registration" is not 100% working because the confirmation message is not send to their email accounts?

Self-based registration for Moodle and self-enrollment in a course, both send emails currently. If a teacher enrolls a student in a course, no email is sent.

For self-registration to Moodle you will need to enable E-Mail based registration in Site Administration->Users->Authentication->Manage Authentication. This will use your email settings to send a confirmation email to the user that includes instructions for verifying their registration.

For self-enrollment in a course you will need to allow a course to be self enrolled by using the setting Course enrollable when creating a course and also enabling the Send welcome message in Site Administration->Courses->Enrollments.

Hope that helps. For additional information, see the Moodle documentation:
