registering a new user

  • I’ve just installed WordPress in a GoDaddy Shared Hosting account. I can register myself and others using the Add New Users functionality. However, if I try to register as a new user (register themselves), everything hangs after I submit the form and then I get a 500 – Internal server error. When I query the wp_users table in my MySQL database, it has been updated with the new user. It appears that something breaks after the DB update and before the email confirmation. Any ideas?

  • I just installed WordPress on a Windows host at GoDaddy (there is a reason for the Windows host). It seemed to install and work fine until I tried to register as a new user. I got the same 500 error as Redrake. I resolved the error by setting the admin email address to wordpress@[mydomain}. I no longer get the 500 error, and the user is set in the database as above, but no email is sent to the user or the admin.

    GoDaddy support states than they just run the installation…they have no idea what to do if things don’t work.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
