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

The weirdest thing was that there was NO error message. Even though in the php.ini, I set the error reporting to E_ALL, I got no warnings, notices, or failures. I removed the RPMs and compiled the sources and now they work... so I guess the problem was due to a incomplete installation of those RPMs off the Fedora Core 3 CDs... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angelo Zanetti" <binc2@ctech.ac.za> To: <php-general@lists.php.net>; <Choi.Minuk@verizon.net> Sent: Friday, November 26, 2004 7:50 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] 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. Angelo

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?
