Rights management (and failing to plan for such) catches many, myself included. [:P]

Hi,

I have set up an environment on my local PC consisting of the following:

I am running Win XP SP2 Home Edition.

Apache 2.2.8
MySQL 5.0.51a
PHP 5.2.5 + PHP 4.4.8 + PEAR
Mercury Mail Transport System v4.52

Problem: When I start up Mercury to send an email from inside a php script, none of my php scripts work. It looks as though an url like http://127.0.0.1/script.php is going to the Mercury http server instead of Apache. I have tried to keep the module from loading by deselecting it from Configuration/Protocol modules and stopping and restarting the Mercury mail server, but Mercury does not seem to remember my module selections. How can I keep a module from loading?

How can I keep a module from loading?

Either change the port setting in Configuration | MercuryB from 80 to say 8080 or use Configuration | Protocol modules ... to remove it.  In either case Mercury needs to be restarted to implement the configuration change.

Maybe your mercury.ini is read-only for some reason?

You could manually comment out the unneeded protocols, save, recheck & restart Merc.

I removed the module MercuryB and, as you indicated, and all the aforementioned problems went away. Thanks a lot for your prompt response.

You are absolutely right. What occurred was that I was logged on as an ordinary user under Win XP, while I was trying to configure Mercury. I logged on as Owner, instead, and Mercury remembered all the changes because I originally installed Mercury as Owner. Silly right?
