apache_server thread: Re: Apache ok on win2000?


Message #1 by "Sascha Rehbock" <srehbock@w...> on Sat, 17 Feb 2001 13:15:03
The PHP Mail function is based on the unix sendmail prog.

So, it isn't possible to use this function on windows systems.

You jad to use a Unix system like Linux (it's even quite cooler)



So, cu Sascha

Chris,



It is possible to get mail() to work on Win2k.  I have it working with 

Win2k Pro SP1, Apache 1.3.17, and PHP 4.0.4pl1.  You must specify the SMTP 

server in the php.ini file.  Be sure that you can access that SMTP server 

plus relay through it.  I was successful in using the SMTP server that 

comes with Win2k.
