Error: Failed sending email :: PHP ::

[Freestyle XL]

That error means php cannot send emails.

If you are using free hosting then the only solution is to disable emails. In control panel make sure "account activation" is set to "none" because users won't be able to receive email confirmations. Then open includes/emailer.php, find this

Code: Select all

   function send()
   {
      global $board_config, $lang, $phpEx, $phpbb_root_path, $db;


and add after it

Code: Select all

      return true;


If you are hosting forum on your own computer then open php.ini (it should be in directory c:\winnt\ or c:\windows\ or wherever your windows is located. if it isn't there then copy php.ini-dist from php directory to that file and rename it to php.ini), find this

Code: Select all

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.

and set "SMTP" to your internet provider's mail server.
