AutoReminder Script issues

no place to enter mail server settings

[wyattea]

Hello,

I just installed an AutoReminder script - its free with no support. I can't figure out where to enter the mail server settings. I've checked every file and there is no place to enter settings.

The database was setup correct, and the login works and the reminders work, but they just don't get emailed. Does mysql have the ability to send mail? I don't think so but it's all I can think of?

Regards,

James...

In your php.ini you can set the SMTP server and port number (default: 25). More information here [us3.php.net].

Good luck!

There is no php.ini file. I think I figured out part of the problem...I copied exactly what they listed into the cron file and then realized they left out stuff. it said:

setup cron once a minute : GET "http://example.com/reminder/mail.php3" >/dev/null

But I got an error message saying the 'get' command didn't exist...?

so I did:

MAILTO=[e-mail]
* * * * * "/big/dom/example/www/reminder/mail.php3" >/dev/null

so that it runs it every minute. But I'm getting errors from the mail.php3 file (which it didn't say I'm suppose to edit. The errors are:

/big/dom/example/www/reminder/mail.php3: line 1:?php
: No such file or directory
/big/dom/example/www/reminder/mail.php3: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/big/dom/example/www/reminder/mail.php3: line 2: `/* dl("mysql.so"); */ '

And the top of the mail.php3 file is:

<?php
/* dl("mysql.so"); */

/* this may require a full path (unix) */
require("database.php3");

Any idea what's wrong? Again, the setup instructions didn't say to edit mail.php3.

Thanks for your help!

James...
