Hello,
I found that XAMPP/windows version has a mailserver problem and php's mail function is not workable. And Mercury mail is too differcult to set properly.

Anybody will help me to fix this matter?

My PWS is that WinXP+XAMPP for Windows+phpnuke7.0, and the below is a typical error message :

Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "127.0.0.1" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in D:\xampp\www\home\modules\Feedback\index.php on line 95

Hi..

PHP Cant connect to Mercury because your Mail Server don't run or not working..

You must Check the SMTP Modul on Mercury and do not close the Mercury!

Oh, NO!
I never touched and have no plan to use Mercury Mail.
Regardless of it, mailserver error comes out after I changed to XAMPP APM server.

I have a question upon this/
Why this trouble occures from APM server only?

XAMPP is a kind of Apache+Php+Mysql package.

hi..

Do you have start the Mercury ?

Please check if this are in "Online" mode if you have start it.

I'm sorry that I can't find Mercury_stop.bat there.

I'm sorry that I can't find Mercury_stop.bat there.

can you find

Drive:\xampp\MercuryMail\mercury_start.bat

?

just run this command file, and set up your SMTP

Yeah, of course but no stop file there.
Anyway, mercury seems to be too differcult to use it.
