 Posted: Mon 14 Jan '13 2:17 Post subject: IP.Board + PHP Mail() |
 |
|
I am using an installation of IP.Board for a small community I run, I have recently moved it from my old shared hosting service to this dedi box I recently bought and I now (for obvious reasons I'd guess) cannot email anyone.
I have tried setting IP.Board to use mail() to send emails but it seems that PHP can not communicate with my mail server (no connection attempt comes up in the mailserver log files). I am also tempted to try forcing it to use SMTP itself, but I don't want to use such a 'hacky' fix.
I do not know how to set different parameters for mail(), I was wondering if I could get any guidance for this? I use hMailServer (easiest for me to configure, and I was not aware of any decent alternatives...need to be free though not necessarily open source). |

What are your php.ini mail settings?
Should be something like
| Code: |
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = 127.0.0.1
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25
; [...]
|
Note that using 127.0.0.1 is not the same as using localhost, as localhost could resolve to ::1 on IPv6 enabled servers.
So use 127.0.0.1 if you have IPv6 enabled on any interface and don't have IPv6 configured in hmailserver (It's IPv4 only by default).
If still nothing shows up you could enable php error logging and check the logs, use sysinternals tcpview or wireshark if everything else fails...
But before that i would suggest you to check if it is a general problem on your php installation or just with IP.Board.
Best regards

localhost and 127.0.0.1 was something I forgot completely. Woops!
I will have to test this at some point, but that's pretty much the same as what I have in my php.ini file now. |
