Get the error below when trying to activate a new user. This is the first user added to the system.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mail() in /home/httpd/users/alc/system/pear/Mail/mail.php on line 113


From mail.php:

/*
* We only use mail()'s optional fifth parameter if the additional
* parameters have been provided and we're not running in safe mode.
*/
if (empty($this->_params) || ini_get('safe_mode')) {
----> $result = mail($recipients, $subject, $body, $text_headers);
} else {
$result = mail($recipients, $subject, $body, $text_headers,
$this->_params);
}


Arrow points to the offending code? Is there something I missed when setting up Geeklog 1.4.0?

mail() is usually a built-in function of PHP, unless your hosting service has explicitly disabled it.

Can you send any emails from Geeklog (e.g. try emailing a story)? Probably not ...

See the FAQ for other email options.
