I don't know. It is probably specific to IIS Server.

2) And also i tried to install InstantMantis-1.0.8.tar.gz

I don't know InstantMantis so I can't help you on this.

So can u tell me
if u have installed Mantis
what and all versoins of MYSQL ,PHP and Mantis you installed....
Have u referred any doc for that

Apache/2.0.54
PHP Version 5.0.4
MySQL: 4.1.12
Mantis: 1.1.0a2, 1.1.0a3
OS: Linux

I think PHP 5.0.4 is not available.

Manjula,
I have just installed Mantis. Were you able to install it? If not, I can send you the details soon.

Deboutv,
I have a problem, regarding installation. I could is install it properly but I am not able to configure the mailer.

I followed the below steps to configure the mailer:
1. I downloaded class.phpmailer.php & class.smtp.php files
2. Placed these two files in php.ini include_path
3. Updated the smtp & smtp_port in php.ini file

Still I could not send the mail. I am getting the following error:
Testing Mail - PROBLEMS SENDING MAIL TO: someone@example.com. Please check your php/mail server settings

Can you please help me solve this problem?

Thanks in advance
Shanthi

Hi,

Could you give us your configuration ($g_PhpMailer_method in the config_inc.php file), your Mantis version and where (or when) you get the error message?

Thanks

Sure Deboutv, below are the details

Details in config_defaults_inc.php file:
# select the method to mail by:
# 0 - mail()
# 1 - sendmail
# 2 - SMTP
$g_phpMailer_method = 0;

Mantis version: 1.0.8
PHP version: 4.4.2
MySQL version: 4.0.16

I am getting this error when I clicked on "Send Mail" button under "Testing Email", in "Check your installation" (check.php) page in "Mantis Administration" (mantis\admin)

Thanks,
Shanthi

After updating the php.ini file, did you restart the webserver?

Try also with this:

Thanks for the quick response Deboutv.
I changed the phpMailer value, updated smtp host, restarted IIS and tried again, but could not succeed.

I have a question. Do we need to specify some IP of $g_smtp_host or it can be something like "mailhost.example.com"? I have updated similar to this.
Please suggest.

Thanks

You can specify an IP address or a host name (if your server has access to a DNS server).

If you have access to the log of the SMTP server, check if you see activity when check the email function.
