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. :)

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.
