    Setting of where to send emails upon 'vBulletin Database Error!'

    I can't find the setting for this.

    I'd like to have all errors emailed to my tech guy, instead of myself. Since I don't know much about mySQL settings and whatnot, and he does.

    Does anyone know where the setting is for email address to have errors get sent to?

    Ok, there's this setting:

    Webmaster's Email

    - Can I enter multiple addresses in here? So one goes to me and one to my tech guy? I really need my tech guy (who's knowledgeable with mySQL) to get the vB dbase error messages.

      It's in the config.php file on the server. Put the person's addy where I have the sample text in red:

      Code:
          //    ****** TECHNICAL EMAIL ADDRESS ******
          //    If any database errors occur, they will be emailed to the address specified here.
          //    Leave this blank to not send any emails when there is a database error.
      $config['Database']['technicalemail'] = '[COLOR=Red][email protected][/COLOR]';
      The email that is put in the ACP where you asked about, your tech guy will get all the new member notifications, contact form submissions, and whatever else the webmaster gets.

        Thank you !!! I'll go edit that file now. (if I can find it.. .there's a million config files it seems)

        ps: vB wish list: having this email entry (tech email) available in ACP

          Question: does anyone know the format (if there is one) to enter multiple addresses in this 'tech email' entry? I'd like to still receive them myself, as well as have the go to my tech guy.

            Separate them with a comma.

              Like this:

              '[email protected]', '[email protected]'

              or..

              '[email protected], [email protected]'

              ?? (ps - thanks for the reply)

                Keep them all within one set of single quotes, like your second example.
