How to check/change PHP Mail() configuration?

[willsegatto]

My shop simply won't send emails. Via PHP Mail() I get a "check your configuration" error. 

Via SMTP it says the email has been sent but it never arrives.

I saw in some forums the "From" field could be empty or outside my domain or the params (?) field should be empty.

Where is the php files used for sending emails located so I can check those? I simply envy you guys that install Prestashop and can work with the default functionalities without problems. I am having a tough time.

 

Best regards,

Will

i just discovered that if I change the coding of this file, PHP Mail() works. Very frustrating though.

Locate this method in file <Prestashop>/classes/Mail.php, line 687:

public static function sendMailTest

Then in:

$message
                ->setFrom('[email protected]')  /**                ->setFrom($from) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  */
                ->setTo($to)
                ->setSubject($subject)
                ->setBody($content);

And it works. Have to test on the rest of the configuration.

I also updated the shop configuration in the SQL Database:

UPDATE `juiceshop01`.`ps_configuration` SET `value` = '[email protected]' WHERE `ps_configuration`.`id_configuration` = 232;

Now order emails are arriving. 

This can also be done in this very well hidden and poorly documented configuration section:
