Re: [OT] qmail php
do a phpinfo() from your browser, and see what is sendmail_path configured to if it is sendmail -t -i that is your problem. the sendmail wrapper of qmail does not take all options that sendmail takes. remove all options and then it should work. shashi joshi --- Joel Uckelman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Quoth Bill Andersen: OK, I hate to go back on list with this, but since I got about 30 replies, it's easier to go back to the list then to reply to each of you.

Hi, I've been using a PHP build from the source RPM on my box for a while without any problems, though admittedly I haven't been doing anything that would use the mail() function, so I might actually have the same problem you do, I just don't know. Of course, my telling you that helps you not at all, so here's my suggestion: (1) Test to see if the mail() function works with sendmail installed. I know that involves some work, but maybe it's just broken in the version of PHP you have. (2) If you've done (1) and found that mail() works, leave sendmail installed, but just delete all of the sendmail binaries (so nothing can be run) and put the symlinks back, etc. That way, all of the sendmail libraries are still there and hopefully PHP will stop complaining. Admittedly, this is an ugly solution, but it *might* work if you can't fix it any other way. -- J. __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

[OT] qmail php
When I installed qmail, I obviously removed sendmail. Now when I build php(4) and try to use the the mail() function, I get mail() not supported in this PHP build because sendmail was not found during the configure (I assume). The only reference I could find in the php archives was to put sendmail_path=path to qmail-inject, but it didn't work. Has anyone had any luck using php with qmail? Please reply off-list as I realize this is really a php issue. The php mailing list is down per their web site, but I figure someone on this list is bound to be running php...

RE: [OT] qmail php
Did you setup the symbolic link to the qmail-sendmail wrapper? qmail has a sendmail wrapper so other programs will think sendmail is installed: (from life with qmail) ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin or wherever your sendmail is supposed to reside, but these are common defaults. Should make php think sendmail is installed. It worked for me.

RE: [OT] qmail php
you must install php pre-qmail. PHP compiles with the sendmail executables and libraries. so: install os (w/sendmail) install php install qmail follow the qmail faq for linking to qmail executables change sendmail_path to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject in php.ini This is how I did it and it works great on a machine with big.concurrency patch and 400 remote processes. -Original Message- From: Gordon McDowall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 10:50 AM To: Bill Andersen; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [OT] qmail php I have a machine with php and qmail on it, but I can't remember which I installed first ;o( I will put a php form script on if you like to test it - Original Message - From: Bill Andersen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 3:28 PM Subject: [OT] qmail php When I installed qmail, I obviously removed sendmail.

RE: [OT] qmail php
I have a machine with apache_mod_ssl+php4+mod_jk and the MTA is qmail and i have yet to have any problems using php scripts on it.

Dj-vapor kindly pointed out that linking to the qmail's sendmail binary at/var/qmail/bin/sendmail is a not the best solution, there's an even more fun way of doing it. He suggests using mailwrapper to link to qmail's sendmail binary. First we'll link the old sendmail binary to mailwrapper. Lastly, we'll edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf and replace the old sendmail binary locations with qmail's sendmail binary. # ln -s /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/mailwrapper # pico -w /etc/mail/mailer.conf Replace the following lines: sendmail /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail send-mail /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail mailq /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail newaliases /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail With: sendmail /var/qmail/bin/sendmail # send-mail /var/qmail/bin/sendmail -bp # mailq /var/qmail/bin/sendmail # newaliases /var/qmail/bin/newaliases If you want more information on mailwrapper, then type the line below on your FreeBSD machine.: # man mailwrapper If you don't want to use mailwrapper, then you can simply link the old sendmail binary to qmail's sendmail binary using one of the methods below Good Luck Jps -Original Message- From: Gordon McDowall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 10:50 AM To: Bill Andersen; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [OT] qmail php I have a machine with php and qmail on it, but I can't remember which I installed first ;o( I will put a php form script on if you like to test it - Original Message - From: Bill Andersen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 3:28 PM Subject: [OT] qmail php When I installed qmail, I obviously removed sendmail.

'ts not just a PHP issue but a sendmail-compatibility issue either. It's safe to link /var/qmail/bin/sendmail to /var/lib/sendmail and /usr/sbin/sendmail (other crack-brained place could be /etc/sendmail) which helps sendmail-aware software (like php and mailx) to run. ---jul

RE: [OT] qmail php
Jeremy, I got this two or three times, so I don't know if the list sent it more than once, or whether you just thought you hadn't sent it and decided to send it again. In any event, I'm not ignoring your reply, just thinking it through. I'm not using FreeBSD, so I've got to find time to look into mailwrapper (if it's even available on RH Linux). I'm not at my Linux machine right now... Don't worry, I did get it... :) Thanks.
