"localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" sett

Postby gauri_agr » 07. September 2010 03:57

Hi ALl,

I setup the apache friend server. I am trying to send a simple mail using php and getting the following error

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\xampp\htdocs\website\alpha\sendmail.php on line 6

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\website\alpha\sendmail.php:6) in C:\xampp\htdocs\website\alpha\sendmail.php on line 7


Do i need to install this or where should I make the changes. Php.ini has smtp server as localhost and port as 25.

Thanks & Regards
Gauri

Is there a Mailserver installed? Mercury, hMailserver,...?

I didn't configure mercury but when I downloaded apache friend, it might have configured automatically

Hi thanks for replying. I do not understand here why should I bother about Mercury server. I need to set my localhost as the mail server. Moreover I am not starting the mercury server.

I am novice so please pardon me for any nonsense question. Also I tried the solution given in the thread but none is working.

Thanks & Regards

.. and which systen should handle smtp and/or pop to send/recieve mails?
Instead of Mercury you could use sendmail (I have no experience) please use board search.

That is the main problem.

Running and configurung an email server is a pretty difficult task and requires a lot(!) of knowledge, far from "novice". It is a job for a well educated system administrator to configure and run an email server. PHP only provides an API for addressing an email server, but of course cannot send emails directly.

First of all, ignore the recent poster telling you that setting up an SMTP server is difficult and requires professional expertise etc. BS!! XAMPP was designed for novices to get stuff done 8)

To resolve the localhost Port 25 connection error, you just need to activate the Mercury SMTP server which comes with XAMPP and can be started/stopped from the XAMPP Control Panel.

It almost works right out of the box, I only had to make one adjustment: In Mercury Admin, go into Configuration -> Protocol Modules ... and disable everything you don't need (in my case, disable all but Mercury SMTP, to resolve the port 25 error). Don't forget to restart Mercury after changing the config.

Thank you for your support.

I think, you are the right man to answer all incoming questions about Mercury etc. - until now it seemed to be difficult for novices to get things running. THIS IS OVER NOW! Thanks in advance to you, simply answer all the questions about this easy email stuff. It was all BULLSHIT - nice to have you!

I really appreciate that!
