XF 1.4 DB error after email confirmation is actived

[rpg999]

Hello everybody, I have recently installed XF 1.4.4 on my server. When i try to register , the same thing happens

>enter all details
>click register
>forums is loading for a while
>white screen with: An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later
>account created, but no email confirmation sent

But when i uncheck send confirmation email in option, the registration process works without any errors.

On my test server i worked with version 1.4.3 and everything was fine. Anyone know what the issue could be ?

I have just successfully registered the "Test" account on the forum listed in your customer area.

Can you delete the account and enable email registration so I can check again?

I have deleted you account and actived email confimation

The actual error is: <!-- Mysqli prepare error: MySQL server has gone away -->

I suspect the problem may be something to do with email timing out.
What email settings do you have configured?
I suspect none of the email related functions will work.

I have a default setting, i 've changed nothing after installation.

You may need to contact your host then and ask them to check whether the server is configured correctly, i.e. a mail transfer agent such as Postfix and PHP configured to use it correctly (sendmail_path).

So you think the problem is the hosting configuration , no xenforo ? I'will check it tomorow

The problem appears to be related to the mail function, which is external to XenForo.

Its very strange , i run a php script
mail("s*******@gmail.com", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3")
on the server and i still receive the mail.

You should increase the wait_timeout setting in MySQL if possible. But otherwise, it certainly sounds like the mail() function is hanging; your example is very simple so it may not be triggering the same paths in your MTA/mail server. Any details would be in the mail log on your server (which generally needs root access to read).
