 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 .

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.
Should I fix your bug, please support the VirtueMart project and become a member

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

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?
