I've tried to configure $SMTP because I had problems sending with php Mail(). On another version of my sites I had a Joomla module from Bitnami installed and all emails were working well. I had a look at config, found configuration.php installed and had a look at. Can someone help me configuring Mediawiki using these settings in the Joomla config file ?
According http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSMTP
(1) You need to install the PEAR's Mail package:
pear install MAIL Net_SMTP
If you don't already have a pear command: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php
(2) The configuration would be something like: $wgSMTP = array( 'host' => "relay.skynet.be", // could also be an IP address. Where the SMTP server is located 'IDHost' => "aena.be", // Generally this will be the domain name of your website (aka mywiki.org) 'port' => 25, // Port to use when connecting to the SMTP server 'auth' => false, // Should we use SMTP authentication (true or false) 'username' => "", // Username to use for SMTP authentication (if being used) 'password' => "" // Password to use for SMTP authentication (if being used) );
I don't think Skynet requires SMTP authentication. If they've recently changed that, you would need to set auth true and fill username and password:
$wgSMTP = array( 'host' => "relay.skynet.be", // could also be an IP address. Where the SMTP server is located 'IDHost' => "aena.be", // Generally this will be the domain name of your website (aka mywiki.org) 'port' => 25, // Port to use when connecting to the SMTP server 'auth' => true, // Should we use SMTP authentication (true or false) 'username' => "did.houbrechts", // Username to use for SMTP authentication (if being used) 'password' => "12345678" // Password to use for SMTP authentication (if being used) );
