email() Not working VIA web form

[Lestat]

Apparently it has stop working. Seems as if the mail() function has been disabled. I have incorporated a no email activation required but still need the mail() function to work for other clients. I have businesses that require the web mail functions to work. How do I fix this?

sorry about that... apparently an update was pushed last night and fowled this up...

First, ensure you haven't disabled mail() in the disable_functions directive of the php.ini file. You can access the PHP configuration by going to WHM -> Service Configuration -> PHP Configuration Editor. Note, on concurrent PHP setups, this only shows the configuration for PHP 5 at this time (the developers are working on a solution to this issue, no ETA though).

Next thing you may want to do is check the Exim queue (WHM -> Email -> Mail Queue Manager) to ensure your messages aren't getting stuck in the queue for whatever reason.

Mail SMTP Used under Windows only: host name or IP address of the SMTP server PHP should use for mail sent with the mail() function. localhost **DEFAULT**, Click to Edit

Mail sendmail_from me@localhost.com **DEFAULT**, Click to Edit

Mail sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

Mail smtp_port 25

how do know if disabled.

I have an email on server if someone PM's me I get email but if user doesn't get an email notification email. Only sends to local users on the server apparently.

Scroll down to disabled_functions.

In addition to what cPanelDavidG said, login to the WHM >> Main >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings and make sure the option "Prevent the user "nobody" from sending out mail to remote addresses (PHP and CGI scripts generally run as nobody if you are not using PHPSuexec and Suexec respectively.)" is not checked. Also, make sure you didn't enable "SMTP Tweak" in the WHM>> Main >> Security >> Security Center

See if that helps.

It is unchecked already...

anyone there?

try compiling php5 as a CGI. that fixed our issue.

[kmpanilla]

Unfortunately php as a CGI causes more issues with users that have "php_value" settings in .htaccess. So this is still a BIG issue with PHP compiled as a DSO / module. Can someone from cpanel confirm?

Although I am not with the the cPanel support, php_value in .htaccess file won't work when SuPhp is enabled. This article will explain, read carefully: http://servertune.com/kbase/entry/184/

I have tried above how to fix this problem. I have yet to find the disable functions you guys speak of. This is still an issue and I have yet to resolve the matter. Anyone else having issues with this?
