Setup php mail Ubuntu digital ocean

gistfile1.txt

//login to your droplet.

//1. output the hostname
hostname

//2. modify the hosts
nano /etc/host

//3. the first line in this file, should use the hostname on the end. For example: "Lee"
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.domainname Lee

//4. install mail
sudo apt-get install sendmail

//5. configure the mail, answer yes to everything:
sudo sendmailconfig

//6. Restart apache2
sudo service apache2 restart

How do you output the hostname? what do you mean by hostname? the domain name u mean?

How do you output the hostname? what do you mean by hostname? the domain name u mean?

Hostname will be your domain name , in digital ocean it will return name of droplet : if you type on terminal "hostname"

Please, correct
//2. modify the hosts
nano /etc/host

on
//2. modify the hosts
nano /etc/hosts

Thanks for this. If php.ini sendmail_path has been modified and things still don't work try reverting sendmail_path to the default value or commenting that line out. Save php.ini then repeat $ sudo service apache2 restart .
