Hello,

I’m having trouble sending an email.

If I used the controller-based setup, like this…

$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;

$this->email->initialize($config); 

... my email is sent fine. If I, however, attempt to create an email.php file and place it in my system/application/config directory and paste that exact same $cofig array into it, I get the following error…

You did not specify a SMTP hostname.
Unable to send email using PHP SMTP. Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method. 

Oddly enough, if I change the email.php file to use “mail” instead of “smtp”, I get the SAME error which leads me to think that the email.php isn’t being used when the controller attempts to send the email.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I’m having this error too, today
I’ve created an email.php inside config folder, and made the email library to autoload, but seems isn’t taking in consideration the config/email.php file

I want to send mail through a commercial smtp service. I created an email.php file, placed my configuration information in there, and located it in /system/application/config without any luck. It still uses the ‘mail’ protocol. The manual did not say to create an entry in autoload, should I do that?

I am using this along with FAL authentication library, which may be interfering with the configuration being pulled from the config. When I place an email debug call in the FAL email code, I can see it still maintains the default email settings from the Email class, so the config is not being loaded.

I can send mail fine from my own independent controller.

I just experienced this today for the first time. It happened as I am trying to migrate my code from running on a linux to a windows server. Could that have anything to do with it?

Yes, otherwise CodeIgniter doesn’t know the config file exists.

What do you mean create an entry in autoload? What do I put into the autoload.php file? Is there any way to debug the email class properties after it is loaded? Is there a $this->email->protocol?
