SMTP auth error

Try using your ip address instead of localhost for the SMTP field in php.ini.

In addition, for configuring your sendmail in a Windows environment, check here:

Can you make a phpinfo() file and post a link to it?

What is a phpinfo() file?

[Frank_the_Phoenix]

this is what i saw when i opened in a browers with phpinfo.php
http://77.61.213.251/phpinfo.php [nofollow]

So my suspicion was right. You are on Windows. PHP has difficulty sending mail from that platform. Unfortunately, I don't know of any tricks offhand.

[Frank_the_Phoenix]

aah toobad maybe someone else, becouse i find it hard to believe that it is impossible like my class mate always says

[live627]

It's possible with a hack, but I must be in bed right now so can't do a quick Google now.

Before you spend days and days with this, inform with your provider if it is possible to use scripts to send mail.
There are several providers (in my country, and I think it's your country too) that will accept only mail send with an direct connection to their servers. At least KPN will.

I've spend hours and hours too to send mail via SMTP but it doesn't work.

Luck,

That text color is too hard to read.

after installing iis you'll still have to install php and mysql to be able to use smf

[Frank_the_Phoenix]

yes i know butt the limitations of wamp and xamp are gone and i have now only the issues of windows and not of those tird party programs

[Tyrsson]

Unless you install a full version of IIS you will only be allowed ten (10) concurrent connections at a time .

As an example. You have XP Pro running on a box. It comes with a dev instance of IIS. You can install and run it. But it is not suitable for a public server as it will only allow ten connections at the same time. Just thought I would give ya a heads up.

[Tyrsson]

Also here is a heads up

You can install IIS and then go and snag the Zend server CE from Zend.com. Run the install and select to build under IIS as long as you already have IIS installed. It will then build under IIS.

i have installed the complete IIS from the original windows xp disc so that wont be a problem

Unless you buy a full copy of the server edition it will be a problem. I have installed and run a local IIS 6.0 for development before, and I had the same problem which is why I mentioned it. I guess it depends on which disc you have. I had the Pro edition which allowed me to install it from the disc, but it was still limited. You may want to read up on it at the MS web site to make sure your version is not limited.

[Frank_the_Phoenix]

thanks for the tip ill look it up when i got the time for it

[Adish - (F.L.A.M.E.R)]

Any updates over this? Is this resolved?

[Frank_the_Phoenix]

yes i have found the problem with Wamp. IIS is at the moment too high for my understanding so i tried to re-Install wamp too the newest version and right before the installation begint he asks for a SMTP mail address and standart there stands nothing becouse you dont need to configure that right away. So i typed my smtp addres in de box and now the forum can connect with my mail server.


so thank you all for the suggestions
