Testing Checkout/Payment Locally

[qaz216]

I am working on a site that I have hosted on a live server but do the development work on my local windows PC.

 

I am now attempting to test the checkout/payment process on my local PC, but after I fill out the account information page, I get the following error.

 

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\www\rivertactical\includes\classes\email.php on line 522

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\www\rivertactical\includes\classes\email.php:522) in C:\www\rivertactical\includes\functions\general.php on line 33

 

This works on the live site, but I do all my testing locally.

 

Does anyone have any advice regarding how to test the checkout/payment process on my local PC?

 

Thanks!
