Could not instantiate mail function. - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

have set 3.0.2 again , things better first time. when new users try register above message , not receive welcome e-mail. @ backend set under users.

i've been on google , thing can find php , mailing program. have tried apply patch seems available, still same output.

we using phpmail , normal sendmail directory. have upgraded php 5.3 5.4 still same error.

if wish can run forum post asst.

any appreciated. have great evening!

this result of servers mail configuration settings smtp server. troubleshoot whether problem within joomla or mail configuration try using normal php function.

you can create/upload new .php file (in same server) following contents run in browser.

code: select all

<?php
$to = "someone@example.com";
$subject = "test mail";
$message = "hello! simple email message.";
$from = "someonelse@example.com";
$headers = "from:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "mail sent.";
?>

if message delivered problem in joomla else problem might in server or php config.

if file can't sent email try enabling smtp authentication in joomla (you can use settings email address gmail authentication).

good luck.
