Error when trying Test Email.

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

I am trying to configure the email in the Admin control panel.

I enter some settings and click 'Send a test email' and a box appears telling me

Ajax support is not working correctly.
Please see http://www.jforum.net/confluence/display/configuration/ajax


My next problem is, that link is dead....

What's the problem and how can I fix it?

Which version are you using?

There is problem in 2.1.6

Get current version from CVS
admin/config_list.htm,net/jforum/util/ajax/AjaxUtils.java and other related files

You'll have to go easy on me, I'm very new to Java.

I am using 2.1.6.

The advice you have given doesn't mean anything to me. Can you please be a bit more specific with what I need to get, and where from.

Thanks.

This is a bug of version 2.1.6, in fact. Version 2.1.7 fixes it.

I've upgraded to 2.1.7 and I had this problem with 2.1.6 and still have it. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I've the same probleme... But, the error is corrected when I add log4j*.jar in the application serveur classpath !!

If I remove log4j*.jar from the classpath, the problem came back !!

log4j*.jar is in WEB-INF/lib... I don't understand why it must be also in the application server classpath.

Please can you tell me how can I do to make it functionality work without log4j*.jar in the application server classpath...

Thank you !!
