RE: Win32 PHP, Apache Web Server, and Mail

Can you 'ping idris.curtin.edu.au' from your windows machine? Is that machine the SMTP server? If you use Microsoft Exchange for your email server, is it configured to allow SMTP access? (Outlook and Windows Messaging DON'T access an Exchange mail server by SMTP/POP3 but instead use a proprietary protocol). You can try to use the IP address of your mail server instead of the name or, if your mail server machine is windows based (NT/2K/Me/9x), then just use the name without any domain specification as in: mail_server. We use an Exchange server to handle our email and don't use DNS so the following lines work for me: [mail function] SMTP = mail_cbr ;for win32 only sendmail_from = fmadruga@ascoimbra.pt ;for win32 only HTH, Madruga, fmadruga@ascoimbra.pt -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Gould [mailto:A.J.Gould@curtin.edu.au] Sent: quarta-feira, 7 de Março de 2001 8:01 To: 'php-windows@lists.php.net' Subject: Win32 PHP, Apache Web Server, and Mail Hi all I am new to PHP and am having real hassles with my Apache / Windows set up and PHP when i want to send mail. I get a "server misconfiguration" error from Apache, but I cannot see where the error is, or if it is in fact PHP which is misconfigured. I have the settings in PHP.INI [mail function] SMTP = idris.curtin.edu.au ;for win32 only sendmail_from = Webmaster@idris.curtin.edu.au ;for win32 only ;sendmail_path = ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well (default is 'sendmail -t -i') I'm lost any ideas anyone?
