Sending Email

Post by Moggle »

I've set up a wiki (Wikimedia to be exact) and it won't send any emails. The built-in PHP mail() function is likely not working, and to send through an actual email account I have set up requires Mail and Net_SMTP to be installed through pear. I tried to install those by SSHing into the server, but I suspect I don't have that kind of access (and for good reason!) since it error'd. The server does have pear, at least.

If anyone has any suggestions, it'd be great.

The built in mail() function should work on all of our shared hosting machines. If you contact us directly through the Help! page in the control panel, I can check your specific machine to make sure that local SMTP service is running.

In terms of PEAR-related things, you would not be able to install those to the system, but you could do a local install to your own folder.
