[SOLVED] Noob mail help


interloper

Recommended Posts

I JUST started with php and and having some mail problems. When I click a button I am supposed to get a confirmation page and an email to my email account. Instead I get a confirmation page with:

 

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() ...

 

I am using my own computer as the server rather than uploading it to another server. My php.ini file reads:

 

SMTP = localhost

smtp_port = 25

 

Any suggestions?

SOLVED.

 

I changed my SMTP in my php.ini file to my isp (mail.isp.com, then I stopped and restarted my Apache server and all of a sudden I got the right confirmation page and the email in my account!

 

Thanks to those of you who were so quick to reply! You have my appreciation!
