Could not instantiate mail function error in Joomla Sites
Hello, are you having sites,which are running on Joomla or other CMS and you are using Mail function most of the times,like in CONTACT US Section, SEND ENQUIRY section or REQUEST A QUOTE section ??
Are you getting such errors also,
' Could not instantiate mail function '
Â
Well,this can happen due to following reasons;
- PHP function mail() has been disabled or not working.
- You are running an older version on PHP in your server.
Here are the steps to solve it;
- If you are running Joomla,then goto Admin panel > Global Configuration > Server > Mail Settings > Mailer and select SENDMAIL there,instead of PHP MAIL FUNCTION.
- If the above point doesnt solve your issue,then the last best thing is to contact your webhost and ask them to rectify the PHP Mail Function in the PHP in their server and also ask them to upgrade the PHP to the latest version.
