nicotinell Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Hi all, Firstly, my question is not a pure coding question but I couldn't find a better forum to post it. So I posted it here. Here is my problem: I have my own Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6. But there is no mail server installed on it. In order to practice my skills on PHP, I installed PHP on my server, everything is fine. I tried to configure PHP.ini for sending mails through smtp.gmail.com. The changes I made in PHP.ini is here: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = ssl://smtp.gmail.com smtp_port = 465 When I try to run a simple mailer script, it genereates 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 D:\Web Sites\mytestsite\mail.php on line 6 The weird thing is, although I changed it, the script still tries to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25. Does somebody have any idea about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
