Does your XOOPS email work now?

I too am having the "Could not instantiate mail()" problem.

I'm using XOOPS version 2.0.13

Your test code (from 2005/5/31) works for me too, so something must be wrong with Xoops.

I cannot get SMTP or SMTPAuth to work either.

sendmail says it sends the message but I do not receive it.

I'm going to try to debug the code but I've been through this before with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Apparently MySQL 4.1.7 and PHP 5.0.2 have issues. Thanks to DAVE_L inhttps://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=28858&forum=1&post_id=125891#forumpost125891 for pointing this out. I upgraded my PHP and MySQL installations by upgrading to WAMP 1.4.3, which brought me up to MySQL 4.1.8 and PHP 5.0.3. My XOOPS problems are solved!

I'm having the exact same problem as zokdok. In fact, his screen shot athttp://www.macadelic.nl/xoops_screenshot.jpg displays the exact problem I'm having: The Login and Main Menu links are inactive (text only - they can't be clicked) and there is no "form" to enter a username/password.

I've spent hours yesterday and today working through these forums but I couldn't get anywhere. I saw where one person indicated that setting a value for tmpdir in MySQL helped, but it didn't solve my problem. I'm using Windows 2000 Pro (work laptop) for my local instance so "folder permissions" aren't an issue.

I have done a fresh install of XOOPS 2.0.9.2 in two separate folders (C:\wamp\www\GoC and C:\wamp\www\kcoug.org), both with the same results as described above.

I saw other posts that indicated that this may be a problem with the Smarty template engine, but they haven't upgraded their software since version 2.6.6 [13-October-2004], so I'm not so sure that's the problem.

I used WAMP5 (v. 1.4.2) fromhttp://www.wampserver.com/en/index.php to install Apache, MySQL and PHP on my Windows 2000 Pro laptop, and once I updated php.ini to allow both extension=php_mysql.dll and extension=php_mysqli.dll all seems to work fine.

So here's my configuration:
- Windows 2000 Pro on a Toshiba Tecra laptop
- Fresh install of XOOPS 2.0.9.2 (two different folders, same problem in both)
- MySQL 4.1.7-nt-log - extension : mysqli
- Apache 1.3.33 (win32)
- PHP 5.0.2

And the problems I'm experiencing:
- The Login and Main Menu links are inactive (text only - they can't be clicked)
- There is no "form" to enter a username/password.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm completely stuck!
