I was previously using apache2triad which included php,mysql,xmail
This was installed on win xp with no major problems until recently for reasons unknown it messed up.
I was recommended xampp as an alternative which i must say is alot better then the previous mentioned package
However!,... i am experiencing problems with sendmail().
no mail is being sent and i get the following error:
Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in blah blah blah....
my php.ini settings are
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = me@myemail.com
i have set the sendmail_from to my main email address
i guess, as its installed on windows, i do not need to set sendmail_path
although i have tried this and tested it but get the same results.
im guessing that i do not need to have Mercury Mail running in order to use send mail as when using apache2triad i didnt need xmail running
if anyone can help with this i would be most orgasmic lol
thanks
