Jasper,
On the first item, we don’t install an SMTP service by default mostly to prevent spam. I’ve had good luck with a basic install of postfix (instead of exim) to get mail working in WordPress. It provides a sendmail binary that the php mail() function can use.
The registration white page is something different. I am guessing that it’s related to one of the plugins in use rather than WP core. I’d recommend checking your php-fpm error log in /var/log to see if any information is being recorded there when the white page is shown. If you find something, share it here and I’ll help you get to the bottom of it.
Hi Ryanpg,
Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I understand that those service’s are not pre-installed, it’s not a problem. I like a challenge. Would you recommend postfix over Exim? Or what are pro’s or con’s? Isn’t the php mail() function used by Exim and is that causing the problem for some emails?
The white pages i’m going to try get one now and post the results below. Thanks btw.
UPDATE:
There nothing in /var/log. I mean, there are a lot files. But none php7.0-fpm file with a date of to day. This is the latest php7.0-fpm file;
