how i can run e-mail in the loclhost?:mad: :mad: :mad:
I have two hands.
If it's a windows based machine, you need to configure SMTP server.
If it's Linux... I think it's Cronjob. I'm not too sure, some of the linux (l)users here could tell you.
ohhh, localhost...I get it now.
llo.
I mean lol.
localhost... how do you do that if you are not on the internet????
that's what localhost means to me, apache running as local and not on the net. if you don't get on the net how in the heck does the email get to your inbox in outlook????
some one tell me, as I have never got mine to work either since I don't get on the net.
Okay, that was almost as confusing as the original post...Quote:

is that better baby :p
The way I've always understood it is that "localhost" is a shortcut to the IP address of the machine. It's a reference to the current machine, or host.
As to what he's talking about with "emailing in the localhost", I have no idea. Intranet mailing, maybe?
well kind of.
localhost or 127.0.0.1 is the machine and that machine only. nobody can connect to it from the outside as every machine in the world has it. so it is not an IP so to speak. So if the machine is set to localhost Apache cannot recieve anything from the outside.
what I think he means is that when you test a script and it uses the mail function, he wants to see it work. but if he wants to send email than he will have to set up a email host and do all the emailing internally to his machine, waste of time if you ask me.
I know.Quote:

localhost is a synonym for the loopback IP, that's true, but the other things aren't totally true. If you run Apache on localhost that means it runs on your local computer which is very nice for testing things. Yet you can configure Apache to listen to connections from outside as well as from the same computer. And you can send mail via a mail server. Nothing stops you from that as long as you have an internet connection.
OK, dude... what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?
Which "dude" are you talking to?Quote:
