Hi,
I tried to set up amazon ses following the steps in the video. I created the credentials after assigning policy to the user. When I try to validate the server I get:
  • Cannot send the confirmation email using the data you provided.
  • Here is a transcript of the error message:
  • Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username "--myusername--" using 2 possible authenticators
I tried adding power user and poweruser and sesfullaccess

but the issue persits
 
Are you sure that you're using the latest version of MW ? If so, it should be asking for "Access Key ID " and "Secret Access Key" for authentication.
 
How does the web api set up work? Is there some documentation? I'd really prefer api, but there is no option for that in the backend
 
aha, just saw your answer on my other post. Seems my mailwizz version is outdated. But I just bought it, it's a brand new installation. So what I get to download is obviously not the latest? Must go searching for updates then.
But I can't login to my backend anyway.

what server/php version are you using?
what does your menu say when you click on 'create new delivery server'? (screenshot)
 
I can't log in to mw right now, I have to reinstall, as the reset password email doesn't arrive.

Ok, during setup there was one server warning regarding something to do with MIME type

Can I delete the install and reinstall on a different server? Do I need to release the licence from the server?
 
Ok

sure, ideally make a backup of the files & dbf, but if there is not much, a fresh install can be the quickest solution to otherwise hard to detect problems

is that shared or vps?

can you choose a higher version?
 
Ok, I will take a look. But somehow, I seem to have created a customer during install and now I get logged in as a customer instead of admin.
I fear my hosting is not working with mailwizz. It's a shared hosting.
Can you point me to a thread with hosting known to work well?
 
Ok thanks a lot for all your help .. . aha I see in backend it says php 5.2 so I am headed over to my hosting comp to see how to use php 4
 
@rritz - so i was right :D
Tell your hosting to make sure that the PHP version from the web server is the same version as the one from CLI, this is super important, otherwise things will look fine in the browser but when sending campaign, they won't send.
 
Hm, I looked into cpanel - select php version and they are all set to php 5.4

why then does mailwiss say php 5.2? I don't understand. Sorry I am no coder at all

what is CLI?

Because it is 5.2. if it was 5.4 it would show 5.4. Better contact your host.
CLI = command line interface, It is the PHP instance available when PHP is run from cron jobs for example.
