hey gang,
I have a fedora core 3, with standard PHP and MySQL included with the distribution.
I'm having a rather odd problem.
the following script(mailTest.php)
<?PHP
$result = mail('me@site.com', 'test subject', 'test message');
if (!$result)
echo "FAILURE";
else
echo "SUCCESS";
?>
does NOT work if I access it from the web
BUT
if I were to execute it as root on the Command prompt
php mailTest.php
It executes correctly and I get mail.
This feels like the apache user is lacking access over sendmail or something... since as root I can
execute the script from the CLI without a problem, but from the web, I get a failure.
Can anyone shed a light as to what settings I need to tweak PHP so mail() can work?
Thanks
