Hi,

can you enable the debug mode in inc/init.php and try to send a mail? I hope you'll get an error message then.

Added some content » No error no mail
Send to Friend » No error no mail

Some lines of php.ini:

Code: Select all

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = me@example.com

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

Hi,

do you have access to your mail logs. Do you use other PHP scripts where the mailing works?

bye
Thorsten

[DaRichMan]

do you have access to your mail logs

Do you mean /var/spool/mail ??
If so, yes

Do you use other PHP scripts where the mailing works?

Nope
phpMyFAQ is the only script i use on this server

Telnet from a shell directly on the server gives:


Don't know if this info is relevant

[Thorsten]

Hi,

can you test this little script:

Code: Select all

<?php
mail('thorsten@phpmyfaq.de', 'Test', 'This is a test message');

Does that work?

bye
Thorsten

[DaRichMan]

Maybe a dumb question, where do i put this code

[Thorsten]

Hi,

just create a file with the name mailtest.php, paste the code into the new file, and run it within your browser...

bye
Thorsten

[DaRichMan]

Noting, only an empty screen

[Thorsten]

Hi,

and I received no mail.... Do you see that mail in your mail log?

bye
Thorsten

[DaRichMan]

I search within the file in /var/spool/mail/root
There was nothing with your e-mail address

[Thorsten]

Hi,

okay, you have a general problem with PHP and mail.

Since I do not know how to configure PHP and mail I can't help you here...

bye

Hi,

I search within the file in /var/spool/mail/root
There was nothing with your e-mail address

this is the root mailbox whilst you must grep into the sendmail log, e.g.:

Code: Select all

grep thorsten@phpmyfaq.de /var/log/maillog

I also see that this is a Fedora linux flavour: if this OS is under Legacy updates there were many rumors in their ML for sendmail issues after the last update.
Hoping this can help you
