Hi people,

I just downloaded UseBB to give it a try. Installation went fine. However, when I registered on the board, I got that message:

UseBB General Error

An error was encoutered. We apologize for any inconvenience.

    In file functions.php on line 483:

    Mail - Unable to send e-mail!


Could anyone give me a hand? Thanks. ;)

Your PHP configuration probably can't send e-mail. If you're using a hosting service, contact your host for further help.

Actually, I'm hosting it on my own server.

Can you tell me a bit more about mail configuration on PHP?

You might want to use sendmail to be able to send e-mails via PHP. Edit in your php.ini:
sendmail_path = sendmail -t -i

Personally, I send everything via the SMTP server of my ISP, therefore SSMTP is installed. From ssmtp.conf:
mailhub=uit.telenet.be
