the mail function - problem
Posted: 29. January 2009 06:30
I am having troubles with the mail function on my local computer install. i had it working but somehow after fiddling with mercury mail it stopped working. before fiddling with that i had it working by having set the following in the apache/bin/php.ini file
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.comcast.net
smtp_port = 25
username = zerre
password = compar3
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = zerre@comcast.net
those are the only configurations i unfourtunatly remember doing. after fiddling with mercury mail and mail function no longer working i uninstalled xampp and reinstalled. ive been having no luck setting mail function to use mail.comcast.net with my username and password etc as shown above.
so i have uninstalled and reinstalled again. everything is at default settings, only thing ive done is log into xammp directory clicked english then went to security and set password for mysql and xampp. anyone know what the next step is? or, i mean, remember what it is i have to do off hand to get my mail function to use my smtp.comcast.net account
thanks for your help
this is the error i get:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "smtp.comcast.net" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\xampp\htdocs\MAIL\mail.php on line 25
