| In follow up... I have contacted webhost to confirm sendmail program is working properly. Also installed alternate sendmail to use both 2525 and 25 ports. All is in order. I can't send password reminder email while logged in as Admin nor can I try logging in as Student and generate a Forgot Password email reminder. The following errors occurred: * There was an error sending the email message. Posted: 2009-09-23 18:14:59 | ||

| Check the mail settings in the system's php.ini file. SMPT=localhost smtp_port=25 Also read through the surrounding comments, to see if there is something else not correctly defined. ATutor mail works with a default installation of Sendmail, so perhaps something is non-default. Posted: 2009-09-24 09:06:28 | ||

| It's correct. Here's what it says: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = me@example.com ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). sendmail_path = /bin/sendmail -t -i ; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters ; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of ; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode. ;mail.force_extra_parameters = Posted: 2009-09-24 14:12:16 | ||

| Have you confirmed send mail is located at /bin/sendmail On all our systems its under /usr/sbin/sendmail, though maybe Redhat is different. Posted: 2009-09-24 14:34:22 | ||

| My web host provider says it can be either one and all is working properly. The question we thought of tonight is whether or not ATutor is compatible with IMAP. I do not have POP installed. They don't offer both, it's one or the other. In the event there was a problem with the upgrade I installed I downgraded back to 1.6 from the backup file I made prior to the install. Same problem exists. Help! Posted: 2009-09-27 21:55:31 | ||

| greg | Subject: Re: Cannot send email | |
| IMAP vs POP doesn't affect ATutor mail. As long as there is a functioning default Sendmail installed, or an SMTP server defined in the systems php.ini file, mail should work. Sendmail or and SMTP server defined, are the only two mail options in ATutor. Posted: 2009-09-28 11:22:03 | ||

| Beyond what's in this thread, and what's in the FAQ, there's not much more we can suggest. On windows you set an external mail server, such as the one you setup for your own mail account, in the SMTP variable in the php.ini file (part of xamp), then restart the web server. You do have one. Its called apache, and its part of xamp. See the xamp documentation for details on restarting the web server. Posted: 2009-12-27 08:44:03 | ||

| thank you greg, i will be trying what you have said. by the way, is atutor compatible with 64 bit windows 7? Posted: 2009-12-27 08:49:48 | ||

| greg | Subject: Re: Cannot send email | |
| ATutor will be fine with 64bit. You may want to check if your version of xamp is. Posted: 2009-12-27 08:55:54 | ||

| allyvanh22 | Subject: Re: Cannot send email | |
| i have successfully installed atutor using xampp, i guess it means that my version of xampp is compatible with 64bit. the only warning i got is "Mail configuration is not set properly. You may not be able to send out emails" i still have no idea how to solve this. is it even possible for me to send email to the registered atutor users even if my atutor is only installed on my localhost and not yet on a web hosting?
