Dear Support.

I have been testing the MEGA-CMD solution on my CentOS 8 Linux server and have encountered some issues that I need your help with:

  1. Confirmation email language:**
  • The email sent by mega-signup does not use the system LOCALE variable, which is set to PT-BR. The confirmation email is always sent in German.
  • I believe the email language is based on the server's IP address and not on the LOCALE variable. I have already opened a support ticket, but the issue has not been resolved.
  • I have also posted a question on GitHub about this issue.
  1. Account creation solution:**
  • Since I need the user of my system (tanobau.com) to confirm and create the account to inform in the system preferences, I have developed the following solution:
    • When an account is created in the TANOBAU.COM system, an email is automatically created in the ISPCONFIG system (which monitors my Linux).
    • For example, the email [testelocal@gmail.com](mailto:testelocal@gmail.com) becomes [testelocal@tanobau.com](mailto:testelocal@tanobau.com).
    • With this new email, I run:
      • mega-login [tanobaubr@gmail.com](mailto:tanobaubr@gmail.com) (password)
      • mega-invite [testelocal@tanobau.com](mailto:testelocal@tanobau.com)
      • mega-logout
      • mega-signup [testelocal@tanobau.com](mailto:testelocal@tanobau.com) (password used in [TANOBAU.COM](http://tanobau.com/))
    • Then, I monitor the POP email until I receive the confirmation email in German.
    • I extract the confirmation link and confirm the account in MEGA:
      • mega-confirm LINKCONFIRMACAO [testelocal@tanobau.com](mailto:testelocal@tanobau.com)
    • Finally, I confirm the account with the login:
      • mega-login [testelocal@tanobau.com](mailto:testelocal@tanobau.com) (password)
    • This way, I can connect to MEGA.NZ and see who the account belongs to.
  1. Observations:**
  • The process works correctly, but the confirmation email is not sent in Portuguese.
  • When creating the account in my system, file synchronization is automatic.
  • The user can decide later whether to contract MEGA's services.
  1. Log example:**

I created 3 accounts today: [oitavoemail@tanobau.com](mailto:oitavoemail@tanobau.com), [nonoemail@tanobau.com](mailto:nonoemail@tanobau.com) and [decimoemail@tanobau.com](mailto:decimoemail@tanobau.com). All were invited by [tanobaubr@gmail.com](mailto:tanobaubr@gmail.com). The mega-showpcr command generated the following log:

mega-showpcr

  1. Achievements and tanobau.com domain:

When accessing the TANOBAUBR@gmail.com account on MEGA.NZ and going to "https://mega.nz/fm/dashboard" (achievements), you will not see any of the emails listed in the mega-showpcr command. This is because achievements are assigned to the email used to create the MEGA account, in this case tanobaubr@gmail.com.

Since the tanobau.com domain is monitored and only allows 1 account, the achievements of the @tanobau.com accounts will not be assigned to the main account?

To work around this, you can:

Create sub-accounts on MEGA using the tanobaubr@gmail.com email as the main one. The achievements of the sub-accounts will be assigned to the main account.
Use a third-party service to manage the achievements of multiple accounts.

  1. MEGA API package and MEGA-CMD:

I understand the frustration with installing and using the MEGA API package. MEGA-CMD is a simpler and more functional alternative for many users.
3. Limitations of MEGA-CMD in PHP scripts:

It is true that MEGA-CMD does not work inside PHP scripts when using the mega-login command. This is because of the browser-based authentication, which is not possible in scripts.

As a workaround, you can:

Use the PHP library "API mega" to interact with the MEGA API.
Run the mega-login command manually before running the PHP script.
Use a third-party service to automate authentication and use of the MEGA API.

Final considerations:

I understand that you are planning to use MEGA for a large number of accounts and files. It is important to consider the limitations of the MEGA API and MEGA-CMD when planning your project.

I recommend that you explore the alternatives and solutions mentioned above to ensure that your needs are met.

I appreciate your understanding and hope this response has been helpful.

I will be available to answer any questions you may have.
