Did you switch your CiviCRM version from the PHP 4 one to the PHP 5 one? We do have different tarballs for the two PHP versions.

Did you switch your CiviCRM version from the PHP 4 one to the PHP 5 one? We do have different tarballs for the two PHP versions.

No I only switched the php version on my local server (xampp)
and now that you mention it I did install the php4 version...
Do I have to change it and if so, what's the best way of doing it?

It seems I'm having the same problem I already had when trying to download from your SourceForge once see here
I don't know why I have no problems downloading any other packages from SourceForge (maybe because it's so big?)
You were so nice to send me the tarball via email, could you send me the php5 version too that'd be great!

And thank you very much for your fast help! (you're a lifesaver - I need to finish the page today at least to a stage where it can be presented for a first look)

Edit:
Almost forgot: do I need to update the Database too or is overwriting the folders with the php5 version all that has to be done?

Thank you very much!

Now I'm having another problem (sorry to bother you so much!)
When trying to resend a mailing I checked the text via the preview and the following error message was displayed in the HTML part (the original mailing was just a text, I didn't upload any html)

and this was added to the text from the textmail in the preview (the original text was in the preview too)

after hitting next I got an empty mail on my admins address (the original testmail was sed without any problems though)

I left the name and the group as I had set them in the mailing from when I created it (step 1), I did not include any previous mailings (just had the one I wanted to resend  anyway - step 2) I didn't load up any new files so I also just clicked on next on step 3 and and then when on step 4 the error was displayed in the preview as I described.
I did create that mailing when still having the php4 version on, the same error was shown then too but I thought that this was because of the wrong version so I retried it now with the php5 but the same happened.

I also created a new mailing (after updating my files to the php5 version) this time also with an html file (no problems with the upload)
and this time I got the first testmail - the html version - two times and when trying to resend again the same error messages in both previews (above them the original text - text and html ) and in my admin mail I got one empty mail (with the correct about thought)

Sorry for the late answer,
no sorry the page is still only on my local PC
I checked the tables and as you say the text of the mailings html and text version are both where they should be.
I only have civimail enabled in Global Settings - Enable Components all others (contribute, member and event) are disabled could this be a problem?
I also didn't edit any mail headers/footers (all default for now) I also didn't include them in the mailings (but they seem to be optional)
 
By the way the reason why I first tried to resend a mailing was because it was not send on the scheduled time. it wasn't send either when I ticked on the send immediately option in the 5th step (schedule/send) all mailings status is on waiting and there are no start and end dates...
the only time a group receives a mailing is when i add the group directly in step 4 when the test mail is send.

I read on this forum someone else had a similar problem with the send immediately option ticked on (you can find it here )
but he had the durpal version so I don't know if his solution would also work for me.Although i too have the PHP running on a different machine than the database but both are running in the same timezone, but when I look into my Joomla Global Configuration Server Offset is set to -1 so even when having the correct timezone set in Joomlas Global Configuration Joomla itself it shows the time one hour too late (when its actually 11:30 Joomla shows 10:30) it even gets reset by the server when i change it to '0' in Joomlas configuration.php (but you said in the other thread I mentioned that civicrm doesn't hook on to the cms's time information so I don't think this is the problem)

I also took a look into civicrm_mailing_job.scheduled_date and the time was off by about ten minutes so that shouldn't make a big difference.

you said before that

No, the database is independent from the PHP version, and we support only one database version (MySQL 4.1+) in CiviCRM 1.7 anyway.

My database is MySQL 5.0.22-Debian_0ubuntu6.06.3-log so there should be no problem there either right?

That makes it a bit hard to debug.

Sorry I'm making this so hard  but thank you for being so patient with me 

Most probably you don’t have your cronjob running. Please refer to the cronjob step of the installation guide; as a temporary solution, try putting /queue in place of the ?reset=1 in the URL and see whether the queued mailings get send (on my local sandbox, the URL is the following: http://civicrm-17/civicrm/mailing/queue).

my colleague said something similar about the cronjob (and he'll try it out later, I'll have a look into the installation guide myself though - it's always a  good idea to learn how those thing are done!)
I'll let you know how it turned out
and thanks again! the "/queue" worked perfectly
