sendmail is buggered
Hi,

I had the script running to a T. Now suddenly the sendmail doesn't work anymore.

What gives. I tried other scripts on my site that use send mail and they work fine. So the problem lies with in lins script....but where. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Double check the sendmail configuration in links.cfg. Make sure, if you are using Links v2, that a smtp server is also not defined at the same time. Either the sendmail configuration got changed somehow, or sendmail was moved on your server.

Code:
# PATH of sendmail. # SMTP Server
$db_mail_path = 'usr/lib/sendmail'; $db_smtp_server = '';

# Email address of the administrator. BE SURE TO SET!
$db_admin_email = 'trudy@washroomwall.com';

it's a path problem:

$db_mail_path = 'usr/lib/sendmail'

should be '/usr/lib/sendmail' #note the leading /
