Thanks very much. I forgot to mention that I had been checking out the old mediatech postings and had found some about missing pear and paths and OH MY <g>.
Pear is all new to me (still stuck in php 3.x myself <G>).
Thanks again. I just have to learn this stuff faster

Any ideas about mail.php?
For info on $wgSMTP, see:

As it says, you'll need to install the PEAR Mail package. You'll probably need to install PEAR first, then use it to install Mail. It's not too tricky, though. See:
The "documentation" tab will walk you through the process.
BTW, you can theoretically leave $wgSMTP unset to use the PHP built-in mailer, which doesn't require this extension. However, with my Wiki server on Windows, this didn't work for me, and I never found out why; emails to certain types of address seemed to get sent but got lost later in the Microsoft mail handling stuff in our servers. Switching to using $wgSMTP fixed it for me.
