Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hi,

first i want to say that i think that its completely stupid to use php.ini for two mail settings, smtp server and port. Perhaps i want to use a different smtp server for mantis, but setting it in the php.ini is vhost wide. Yeah, i could set these both vars on the fly but thats not what i want, i want clean programming and i think everyone else too.

second i want to ask why i have to install phpmailer (see the docs) while its already included in mantis? Mantis includes phpmailer which comes with mantis and since i read the docs i placed (a different phpmailer version) into my includes dir.

What the hell are you developers doing? Remove phpmailer and let users installing their own version.

You should ask them by mailing to the mantisbt-dev mailing list or discuss this in IRC channel.
Of course, asking in a friedly way will help.

I am pretty sure there is or was a reason to handle phpMailer in this way.
I did not have a closer look at it, but in version 1.2 at least directory structure changed.
Third party libraries are seperated in a library tree. There is also a documentation of versions and changes which are necessary to run MantisBT

You have to configure the SMTP host in the config_inc.php file (and not in the php.ini file) and you don't need to install PHPMailer as it is included in Mantis...
