J 2.5.1 and V2.03 ?
Hi Surenkrish,
I suppose the solution might be to upgrade to joomla 2.5.6 and to VM 2.0.8 as 2.0.3 is a test version? -
then test an email in joomla first - like in contacts - to see if any mail comes through the joomla system first or even from the server .
hello there,
i am working on new project with joomla 2.5.4 ,virtuemart 2.0.3. actually i use template for my project which i installed it in localhost wampserver 2.2.i want to use VM Payment plugin standard in payment method . all steps are working very well except the last step . at the begining it gives me notice that i need to install tcpdf in libraries but didnt change anything in tcpdf_config.php. without changing tcpdf_config.php folder . i installed it after that it gives me
error --> Could not instantiate mail function.
I am beginner to joomla. can someone help me how can i fix this isssue?
thank you so much in advance
regards,
sahar
First use 2.0.8b and not 2.0.3 and you should think twice before using an uneven number. Your problem with the mail is a pure joomla problem.
Mr Milbo,
u mean after updating everything will be ok? bcoz i scared if i update it then i issue new problem ;D

Hi sahar,
The option is to do a complete backup of your site first. Then- and only then.
update - to the new version and test away.
* if you are not happy then - reinstall the software again ( your whole site)
* another option would be to - make a new folder on the same server - install joomla - the new version then test the contacts through there- thus you will have the best of both to test - -- then install VM there - ? :)
Mr Milbo,
thanks :) . i will try let u know :D
have a nice day

sahar
maybe - I had this at one stage - when I updated to 2.5.6 joomla - they told me to reinstall the joomla version over the top to get the mail working - but
* my answer was simpler than that - I found that after the update this setting in admin (image) was turned on and it stopped my mail coming through.
how to turn it back on : http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=1241978
It did work?

my version is J 2.5.1 and VM 2.04.. problem exist..:(
Ok but did you have a look at what I wrote to see if the safe was off or on?
Mr Milbo,
I already update it to virtue mart to 2.5.8 . still gives me this error --> Could not instantiate mail function.
help me plz :(

"Could not instantiate mail function."
Just for order mails after checkout.
Joomla registration + joomla contact + virtuemart registration mail works!
Joomla 2.5.7
Virtuemart 2.0.10
Using PHPMail
(tried sendmail, too)
Same problem with Joomla 2.5.8, VM2.0.14.
I've already tried changing mailer options and Safe Mode is Off.
User goes to enter email if they forgot their username or password during checkout and the page just refreshes. No request for a Token, and no emails sent.
I log into the back end and see a message regarding it cannot instantiate mail function.
Need help ASAP!
These issues are really hurting the business if the cart doesn't work correctly.
I got the same problem after the update to joomla 2.5.8 and virtuemart 2.0.14. Please advise asap.

It's not an joomla problem because all others component send mail correctly
No one to help us ?
Same here, everything works except VM checkout mail
