Hey,

I ran a PHPDev bundle (snipped, contained Apache 1.3.x, PHP 4.2.3, MySQL 3.x). Last night I deleted it all (deleted all the files, searched for it on my HD and deleted all I could find), and downloaded Apache 2.0.49, PHP 4.3.5, ActivePerl 5.8, and MySQL 4.0.18 (this is on a WinXP Pro machine). Everything worked, all test scripts and such. Then, I moved all of my old files into the new public directory, and copied over the Data folder from the previous MySQL install. Everything worked great, except my vBulletin forums. They wouldn't connect, and in trying to resolve the problem I ended up installing a new board system over the old one (oops). Do you think it wouldn't connect because it had been installed under MySQL 3, and the server now ran MySQL 4?

Next, I also run Imail 6 as a mail server. I am having some trouble trying to get my php.ini mail settings correct. The web address (and the address of my SMTP/POP3 server) is mail.quadstop.com, and Imail is installed in F:/mail (and this is on XP Pro).

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = admin@example.com
sendmail_port = 25
sendmail_path = f:\mail\smtp32.exe

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =

Now, if I run a mail test script, it will appear to work (no errors), but the mail never arrives in the mailbox. Any ideas?

Bump, not sure if this is in the right forum?

Fixed!

I omitted the "sendmail_path" function, and left all other settings the same as I had in my first post (my email address, port 25, and localhost) and it works.
