 |
|
I've have just started running a phpBB2 board, and things are working out quite smoothly. Except for the fact that when one of my friends tries to sign up, they get the following error:
| Code: | Failed sending email :: PHP ::
DEBUG MODE
Line : 234
File : D:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\phpbb2\includes\emailer.php |
Is there any way to solve this? thanks!

Judging from "D:\Program Files\" I can see you are using Windows. By default, phpBB is set up to send email from "the local mail function." This means they use "sendmail," a script on all Linux and UNIX systems. However, the problem is, Windows does not come with a "sendmail" script. (In fact, Windows does not come with much at all).
You have two options: You can search Google for hours trying to find a Windows-like "sendmail" script and have a 25% chance of it working, or you can do what I do; download a mail server and use the SMTP option instead of the "local mail" on phpBB.
Which one do you want? Hehe...
