Install is trying to kill me

[Lazarus]

Hi, using your product on a test site and it is trying to kill me I am sure of it /s

So most everything is working but the email function I cannot get it to email out because of the error

" Could not instantiate mail function. " there is nothing on this or other sites and I feel that I am missing something simple

HELP Please.

Thanks

We've all been there. Sorry about that! Are you trying gmail to start with? I think gmail seems like the best way to get started with doing mail from a server. The problem is that a lot of providers have been cracking down on spam, so if anything looks out of the ordinary, they will shut it down right away.

Try these instructions with a gmail account and see what happens...

This is the code that I am changing "$mail->isSMTP();"

At this time these are the errors that I am getting when I use Gmail.

If I use the service that is slated for the project, then if that line is enabled the server freezes and if it is disabled then I get the "Could not instantiate mail function." still.

Yes, you need to comment out that line.

I'm not sure how to replicate it on the install, but hopefully this will help.

Thanks.

I had to uncomment that line and change the outgoing port to resolve the issue, But it is now working flawlessly thanks for the help.

The port change was a firewall issue not anything to do with the site.
