[theHollow]

I'm using apache on my home computer. I've created a mailform that i want to test but i keep getting an error. how do i configure apache so it will send mail.

also, does apache run asp? if not can anyone recommend any good programs

thanks,

It's probably because you haven't specified an SMTP mail server for PHP to use.

Open your php.ini config file and do a search for SMTP. You will get to this line:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = mail.server.com

You need to specify the path to your SMTP server there.

Why not just use IIS to run ASP?

Where can i get an SMTP server? And I have XP Home, which doesn't allow IIS.

You can enter your ISP's smtp server.
