[dokuwiki] Re: Installing Dokuwiki without mail service

Hi!
The install script is complaining that PHP 'mail' is not working. There was some discussion on this in the mailing list about two years ago, but the conclusion seems to be that there must be a mail service available.
The install script does not check if the mail() function works it only checks if it exists ie. is not disabled. If this is your server you should simply reenable it.
1. Is there an easy way to change that error into a warning and let the installation proceed? It is not necessary to disable all mail options automatically, but that would be a nice side effect.
If reenabling the function is not possible, you can hack the install.php script - there is an array somehwere with a list of functions to be checked.
All functions which use the mail() command will fail. Shouldn't be a problem, just disable the autopasswd option and don't enable the notification and page subscription functions and you should be fine.
As a side question, is the Atom feed still at version 0.3, or has that been upgraded to 1.0 now? If it is still 0.3, what is needed to update it?
No it should be 1.0 by default (when type is atom) but is able to do 0.3 when using atom03 as type IIRC. Out of the Box RSS 2 or 1 is used (can't remember).
