This is very likely just an indication of an issue with the mail system on your server. You would need root (or your host's) help to resolve it most likely, or you should send mail via SMTP.

I have root access, how do I fix the issue? is there some terminal command I need to use? Im running Ubuntu Server 14.04

 

[Mike]

You need to setup a mail transfer agent such as Postfix and ensure that PHP is configured to use it correctly (sendmail_path).

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

Sorry to act dumb or anything, how do I do that?

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

oh ok i see that sendmail_path in the php.ini is crossed out ; so were do I put the path?

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

nvm i think its working now, just had to install sendmail

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

is this correct? sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f "Do Not Reply <aelborne@gmail.com>"

 

[Mike]

Don't put the -f parameter and value there.
