Re: fedora core 3 mail() not working from web

Hi, It could have something to do with your PHP.ini file?? Can you post the error message, as it will give us a better idea of what could be wrong.

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?
