General E-mail Problem On Local Machine
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello there,
Many thanks to everyone who makes this forum what it is.....
Just installed ZC, and am really looking forward to working with it. I've got one major issue at the moment that I've spent a number of hours trying to crack.....
After following the manual word for word, I tried to send a test e-mail from the XAMPP config page (www.example.com etc etc), through Mercury..... I get the error message
"Error! The message was not successfully sent!".
Now I'm sure that Mercury has been setup properly as I can send e-mails localy from within the Mercury admin program.
Also when trying to setup a demo customer account on ZC (as suggested by book) after filling in all require field I get a message
"Email Error: Could not instantiate mail function. Please check Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Email Transport."
Now I've tried the PHP handler method and also direct SMTP using my smtp server (mail.fasthosts.co.uk) again with no luck.
I've knocked out windows firewall incase there is a port blocking issue but still no joy!
Any got any ideas? It seem a shame to stumble at the first hurdle so to speak!
All the best,
James
