How to config a GMAIL account OC 1.4.7

Hi everyone,

I've been trying OC version 1.4.7 (http://localhost:8080" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). But I've a big trouble when I want to set up a email (GMAIL) account that is not part of my domain (obviously). My settings are the following:

Mail protocol: MAIL
SMTP Host: SMTP.GMAIL.COM
SMTP Username:******
SMTP Password: ********
SMTP Port: 465
SMTP Timeout: 5

When I press " Contact Us" link and I complete the information( name, email, etc) then I press "Continue", the program show an error:

PHP Warning: mail() [<a href='function.mail'>function.mail</a>]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\AppServ\www\system\library\mail.php on line 148

I hope that you can help me.

try using SMTP for you Mail Protocol.

the error means it could not connect to your mail server or even find one. Be sure you are using a local install that comes with a mail daemon

the error means it could not connect to your mail server or even find one. Be sure you are using a local install that comes with a mail daemon

How Can I check that information ? Can you explain with more details ?.Sorry, I'm not programmer. But, I want to learn.

Thank you.

@josed,

Hi. Not sure if you have had this resolved or not !?!?

As Q mentioned, and as the error message says:

Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost"

You are using localhost for your site, but unless your local server installation also has a mail program (daemon), you will not be able to send mail from localhost. Download a mail daemon or upload your site to your hosting provider.
