Re: fedora core 3 mail() not working from web

The weirdest thing was that there was NO error message.  Even though in the 
php.ini, I set the error reporting to E_ALL, I got no warnings, notices, or 
failures.

I removed the RPMs and compiled the sources and now they work... so I guess 
the problem was due to a incomplete installation of those RPMs off the 
Fedora Core 3 CDs...

Hi,

It could have something to do with your PHP.ini file??
Can you post the error message, as it will give us a better idea of
what could be wrong.

hey gang,

I have a fedora core 3, with standard PHP and MySQL included with the
distribution.

I'm having a rather odd problem.

the following script(mailTest.php)

<?PHP
$result = mail('me@xxxxxxxx', 'test subject', 'test message');

if (!$result)
   echo "FAILURE";
else
   echo "SUCCESS";
?>

does NOT work if I access it from the web

BUT

if I were to execute it as root on the Command prompt

php mailTest.php

It executes correctly and I get mail.

This feels like the apache user is lacking access over sendmail or
something... since as root I can execute the script from the CLI without
a problem, but from the web, I get a failure.

Can anyone shed a light as to what settings I need to tweak PHP so
mail() can work?

Thanks

-Minuk
