email not sending out 4 Months ago

Karma: 0

Hi,
I'm using the latest version of lime, and just completed loading up a new survey and adding in an email list. but when i sent an invitation to myself, it never showed up.
i'm sure this is a simple solution, but i didnt see it posted anywhere.
I do not know whether i'm configured for sendmail or smpt, and i'm not sure how to check. (kinda a newbie)
any quick fix would be appreciated.

Please post your email settings you set in config.php. No real passwords please.

do you mean in the backend of my host site? mywebsite.com?
The config is as follows:
the mailer is php mail function, and SMPT is NOT authorized
the sendmail path is : /usr/sbin/sendmail

When using the built in PHP mail function, I've found in the past that if the PHP setup isn't right, you'll often just get no email sent (but no warning about it either). So I always recommend using SMTP if possible. You need to edit your config.php file so that it says which mail system to use, and has the correct information for it.

I'm talking about your limesurvey configuration. Every kind of config is done within config.php. There are some default settings in config-default.php. When editing the email setting you have to copy them to config.php and edit them there. These settings overwrite settings in config-defaults.php.

OK, well that's problematic, because i looked for the config file in lime but could not find it among the lime files.
