EMAIL HELP & SETUP.

[Grahxen]

I need some help here people... I am trying my hardest to get email working. I am Running WIN200 IIS server, i need step by step instructions on setting up and getting email to work. Such as, what i have to configure in my php.ini file, and any other necessary files to get it to work. The documentation isnt that great in this area. Please email me or copy and paste exactly what i need to do.

Thanks

All you need to do is specify a SMTP server in the php.ini :)

Normally with a host this will all be setup for you. :)

Ok yes, and where and how do i put the smtp information in the ini file.. They dont make it easy i tell you...

Paste it here for me.. and as i said i am running the server myself.

Well usually it is just commented out, or not filled in. So it should be pretty easy to see where it goes if you look in the php.ini file!

It should be like:

[mail function]
SMTP = localhost ;for win32 only

Just fill it in with the right info. :)

Ok, i added my mail serves in my php.ini But now im getting all kinds of email errors.

Im getting this error when in control panel trying to use the EMAIL users feature.

Warning: Unknown error in C:\WWW\WWWROOT\admin\email.php on line 161
39


And several erors like this as well when a user tries to email someone on the board. Not sure exactly what line it said cause i disabled email for now. But as you can see, something is messed.

Thanks

Sounds like there are problems with your SMTP setup then. :(

I run Vb on NT, and the installation was a BREEZE! You guys are great.

Never had a mail problem.. Check your SMPT conifg.
