I have a site relying heavily on e-mail registration, forums, etc. and mail() is broken in my php install. I've been using an smtp server other than sendmail, but based on recommendations I have removed that smtp server, removed php, installed sendmail, reinstalled php, and php still complains that "Warning: mail() is not supported in this PHP build" and sendmail is clearly in my /var/lib/php.ini sendmail_path and the location is correct. I can send mail from the command line, but not via php's mail() Need Heeeeeelp! real bad.

If anyone can tell me a way to troubleshoot this problem, I'll be happy to pursue it myself. I am running the RedHat 7.1 distribution of Linux, Apache 1.3.20, php 4.0.6, and sendmail-8.10.11. The Apache and php are src builds using tarballs and the sendmail is an rpm - I am only using sendmail to troubleshoot the problem, but I will eventually use dmail as my smtp server. All the above servers are on the sam machine. I have turned logging on in my php.ini, but the mail() error does not get written to the log file I specified, only to the Apache error log - but the error is the same as that displayed in my browser when php tries to call mail() "Warning: mail() is not supported in this PHP build" I've tried everything I can think of and recommendations from this list... I have removed php, removed sendmail, reinstalled sendmail, reinstalled php: here is my php build: ----------------------------------------- CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \ --with-apache=/usr/local/src/Apachetoolbox-1.5.38/apache_1.3.20 \ --enable-exif \ --enable-track-vars \ --with-calendar=shared \ --enable-safe-mode \ --enable-magic-quotes \ --enable-trans-sid \ --enable-wddx \ --enable-ftp \ --with-gd="/usr/local" \ --with-zlib \ --enable-gd-native-tt \ --with-t1lib="/usr/local/lib/php/t1libs" \ --with-jpeg-dir="/usr/local" \ --with-png-dir="/usr/local" \ --with-zlib-dir="/usr/local" \ --with-ttf \ --with-freetype-dir="/usr/local" \ --with-imap=/usr/local \ --with-mhash=/usr/local \ --with-mcrypt=/usr/local \ --with-unixODBC=/usr/local/unixODBC \ --with-mysql \ -------------------------- My php.ini is i the proper location and chnges get reloaded after reloading Apache - verified by phpinfo().
