zubo 0 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi Not having any help at yii forums hoped someone here might take pity: I was trying to test the contact form and got the following error 14:36:42.101721 error php mail() [<a href='function.mail'>function.mail</a>]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() (C:\wamp\www\yiiroot2\testdrive\protected\controllers\SiteController.php:61) Stack trace: #0 C:\wamp\www\yiiroot2\framework\web\CController.php(309): CInlineAction->runWithParams() #1 C:\wamp\www\yiiroot2\framework\web\CController.php(287): SiteController->runAction() #2 C:\wamp\www\yiiroot2\framework\web\CController.php(266): SiteController->runActionWithFilters() #3 C:\wamp\www\yiiroot2\framework\web\CWebApplication.php(276): SiteController->run() #4 C:\wamp\www\yiiroot2\framework\web\CWebApplication.php(135): CWebApplication->runController() #5 C:\wamp\www\yiiroot2\framework\base\CApplication.php(162): CWebApplication->processRequest() #6 C:\wamp\www\yiiroot2\testdrive\index.php(13): CWebApplication->run() REQUEST_URI=/Yiiroot2/testdrive/index.php/site/contact in C:\wamp\www\yiiroot2\testdrive\protected\controllers\SiteController.php (61) in C:\wamp\www\yiiroot2\testdrive\index.php (13) so looking at an answer in google ... the suggestion was to set [mail function] ; For Win32 only. ; http://php.net/smtp SMTP = mail.geosz.com ; http://php.net/smtp-port smtp_port = 25 where my smtp is my remote smtp mail server i also set a parameter for sendmail_from = george@geosz.com so i am puzzled why i get the error anyone help me?? george Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Larry 429 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well, to be clear, this isn't a Yii issue but a PHP-mail one. I suspect the code you've posted won't work because mail.geosz.com probably requires authentication--username and password. That's not possible just by editing the php.ini file. Do you have an ISP you're using whose SMTP server doesn't require authentication? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zubo 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks Larry... Yes it is probably an authentication issue.... Need to dig deeper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
