Hi,
I have now a nice ubuntu box with apache, mysql and php5 installed. I installed them as a package, XAMPP for Linux. On that base, I installed a php portal. Now that it seems to work, I am ready to move the contents of the personal website I am hosting on a windows machine to that linux box.
However, I noticed I canot use the php pages that use the mail() function. The emails just don't go anywhere.
I installed webmin-sendmail, with which I see that "sendmail is not running", and emails are hanging. All paths are correct, no firewalls are installed ;) and since the settings were quite straightforward on the windows box, I never had to look too deep into the problem.
I am at a loss, can anyone help ? Where should I start ?
