New subject: [Mediawiki-l] Help with Email

18 Feb 2006


      Hello,
I'm running media wiki 1.5.5 on a RedHat Enterprise AS 4 box. I can not seem to get email
working... from the command line I can use "mail -s "test" jllamas@ipac.caltech.edu" to send my self
a message... But within the wiki no email is sent (notifications, password rest, etc).
Here is my LocalSettings file...
[root@pelican ISGWIKI]# cat LocalSettings.php
<?php
# This file was automatically generated by the MediaWiki installer.
# If you make manual changes, please keep track in case you need to
# recreate them later.

ini_set( "include_path", ".:$IP:$IP/includes:$IP/languages" );
require_once( "includes/DefaultSettings.php" );
# If PHP's memory limit is very low, some operations may fail.
ini_set( 'memory_limit', '20M' );
if ( $wgCommandLineMode ) {
         if ( isset( $_SERVER ) && array_key_exists( 'REQUEST_METHOD', $_SERVER ) ) {
                 die( "This script must be run from the command line\n" );
         }
} elseif ( empty( $wgNoOutputBuffer ) ) {
