The problem:
The mail is not being delivered to my address. PHP returns no errors.

Can a normal user send email? If so then it is a php problem, if not a sendmail one. I think that will help to narrow it down a bit.

[PHP-INSTALL] Please help -- postgres DB not connecting

We've been getting the following error when testing our PHP pages that make calls to our postgres database: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pg_pconnect() in /var/www/<testpageX>.php on line 14 According to research, it seems as though we failed to compile PHP with postgres support at install time. We used Debian packages to install PHP and don't recall whether compiling with postgres was an option. - Should we remove PHP and start over with the regular PHP compiler? - Is there a "Debian way" to install PHP with postgres support? - Are we totally missing the boat here? We've diligently searched the PHP installation pages with no forthcoming solution. Here's our versions: Kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4 Apache1.3.26-0woo openssl0.9.6c-2.wo open ssh3.4p1-1.woo postgres 7.2.1-2wood php 4.1.2-6wood php pear TIA for any and all assistance. -- Danny O'Brien

[PHP-INSTALL] mail() sendmail problems

I'm having difficulty with the php mail() function. Freebsd 4.9, apache 2.0.48, php 4.3.4 Here is my code: <?php mail("sysadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx", "subject", "body"); ?> The problem: The mail is not being delivered to my address. PHP returns no errors. The webserver (fenchurch) does not run a mail relay. The nearest mail server is @ IP 216.111.143.7 (allows relaying from webserver). I have added the following line to the sendmail .mc file: FEATURE(`msp', `[216.111.143.7]')dnl I then ran 'make install' Solutions I've tried: Installing postfix, exim, qmail (with mailwrapper). They all give the same results. Since sendmail is the default, I've decided to scrap the other MTA's and make sendmail work. Sendmail permissions: ls -al /usr/sbin/sendmail lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 24 Feb 20 12:34 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/sendmail ls -al /usr/local/sbin/sendmail -r-xr-sr-x 1 root smmsp 561922 Feb 20 12:32 /usr/local/sbin/sendmail Info from /var/log/maillog Feb 23 09:30:00 fenchurch sendmail[75790]: i1NEU0PO075790: from=root, size=500, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200402231430.i1NEU0PO075790@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, relay=root@localhost Feb 23 09:30:00 fenchurch sendmail[75790]: i1NEU0PO075790: to=root, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30500, relay=[216.111.143.7] [216.111.143.7], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (ok 1077547537 qp 14019) phpinfo() is available here: http://fenchurch.netlinkip.com/info.php If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

HTH Chris Yes, all users on a unix box should be able to send email. From a prompt: mail -s "mysubject" toyou@xxxxxxxxxxx <filewithmessage will do it. Do a "man mail" for more information. It will use whatever email system you have set up on the computer, thus it is a good test to see where email may be going wrong. When you have email going from a normal user OK then its time to check from php again. HTH Chris
