note 20493 added to ref.mail

Linux Known situation mail() not work, but why ??? Try send a simple mail from shell root@alpha:~# sendmail xxx@yyy.com strange error ??? collect: Cannot write ./dfg35A7vav022304 (bfcommit, uid=XXX, gid=XXX): Permission denied queueup: cannot create queue temp file ./tfg35A7vav022304, uid=XXX: Permission denied Don't mess with permissons on /var/spool /var/mail /var/spool/mqueue Just set them follow the instructions from sendmail readme It seems that when sendmail runs not like a daemon ( without -bd or -bD options ) it doesn't use corect QueueDirectory from /etc/mail/sendmail.cf The solution is set this line in php.ini ;For Unix only.You may supply arguments as well (default:'sendmail -t -i'). sendmail_path="/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue/" That's all. mail() now work fine :))) Hope this will save up somebody's time, because i spent a lot of hours in digging and tearing my hair (and my mother will colapse if she hear what a words i use :))) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+20493 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+20493 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+20493
