Configuring Email

[jdurrant]

I'm evaluating osCommerse for a new project I've been given. Everythings seems OK, but during some testing when I create a new user account, I got the following:

 

Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address in C:\WEB\Apache\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\includes\classes\email.php on line 502

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\WEB\Apache\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\includes\classes\email.php:502) in C:\WEB\Apache\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\includes\functions\general.php on line 29

 

It looks like I need to configure some SMTP settings, but I'm not sure where. Can anyone help?

 

(I'm running Apache2 and MySQL 5.0 on Windows 2000 Profession, with PHP v. 4.3.8)

 

Many thanks,

James

If this is a local install then you also need to have a local mail server installed, otherwise that function of osCommerce will not work.

Hi Vger,

thanks for your reply. Yes, it is a local install at present - I was hoping to use the mail server on our office server for testing. I would set one up on my local machine - is there one that is recommended for osCommerse?

 

Thanks,

James.

Can anyone help?

Alternatively, could someone tell me how to turn off all email requirements in osCommerse? (Like when a new user registers?).

 

I really want to get this working in a test environment before I move it to a live site.

 

Thanks.
