Email Error

[a4tech]

Hi,

I installed fresh zen cart on my local system. When i sign up and press submit button i have the following error:

"Email Error: Could not instantiate mail function."

I thought this problem occurs on local system only. I upload my complete website there when i press submit button (After filling the sign up form) i have a blank page come which show nothing.

How can i resolve it??

Thanks,

A4

You probably need to choose a different Email Transport method.

Hi,

How can i know that my server used this specific email method for sendig emails?????

Your hosting company configured your server.
They will have to answer the question, or you can try each one to see what works.

Did you read the link I posted earlier?

Yes i read all tutorial and try out the every email method but problem is still. I ask my hosting company they said that use php for send emails.

I don't know how to resolve this problem??

What are all your current settings in Admin->Configuration->Email Options ?

I try with every email method but still have same error, really confused about it...

Is it coding problem or installation fault???

It's likely a problem with your server configuration.


In your Zen Cart files, in the /zc_install folder, there is a "techsupp.php" file.
Open that file in a text editor.
In the first 3 lines of the file, there is a place to enter an email address.
Put in your email address.
Save the file.
upload the file to your website.

Post a URL to that file so that I can take a look.
