Author Topic: sendmail - works from SSH, but not CiviCRM (Read 1151 times)

From the web UI I get:
Failed to open sendmail [/usr/sbin/sendmail] for execution.

But I can SSH and "/usr/sbin/sendmail i- me@mail.com" and successfully receive email.

Does this have something to do with the acct that is trying to exec sendmail? Is it the user that Apache runs under?

Thanks for any input.

i'd suspect that is the case (the apache user does not have execute privilegs on sendmail)

you can verify that by writing a small php script which just tries to do that

For anyone interested, I had to alter my php.ini:
remove options for disable_functions
