Setting up SMTP for the emailing!!! Help!

[kingz]

Just a very basic question! How can i setup SMTP for the helpdesk script! Right now no emails can be sent out! My server has the email user 0 block so you have to use smtp for every script! SMTP works great with phpbb so i need to know how would i set it up on the helpdesk!



Any help would be nice! Thanks!

Hi,

All you need to do is get the PHP mail() command working properly, you should setup all the SMTP settings in the php.ini file. Check the PHP documentation for more info.

OK, First tell me when I can find the php.ini at is it part of the script or where can i find it! I use cpanel/WHM and the user zero is disable this help prevent spam and people spamming using the server! I have my phpbb working great with smtp! Thanks for fast responds!

Right now i have no emails at all working with the helpdesk script!

In that case contact your hosting company and ask if the PHP mail() command has been disabled. The php.ini is part of PHP installation on your server and you cannot edit it unless you have root server access.

All you need to do is contact your host and ask if mail() is disabled or not.
