Drake CMS has been rebranded into Lanius CMS, visit the new Lanius CMS Official Forums if you need support about Lanius CMS or Drake CMS -> Lanius CMS migration.
I am testing Drake CMS on a Uniform Server setup on my local
machine and found that under Global Configuration - Email I
cannot 'Send test email' using any of the choices under Mailing
System.
Can anyone advise me why this might happen and
suggest ways round the issue?

Hi and Welcome..
Can you supply your system config and
version of Drake you are testing...
In the admin
backend under "System" "Drake CMS Version"
copy and paste the information to here...
It will make
it easier to try and work out the issues, if any.
Thanks

As trex1512 said, we need more informations
about your server configuration to guess what the problem can
be.
Next you should visit your host provider's website
and look for PHP/mail related issues, most probably it has a
specific configuration for emails, or does not allow them at all.

Uniform Server doesn't allow you to use any mail service, because
it doesn't have any mailer built-in (it's only Apache + PHP +
MySQL). You can use external mailer (like sendmail), but you need
to specify some values in php.ini, like sendmail_path
which by default is set to no value, or SMTP
which is set to localhost
I was and am not familiar with the
Uniform server package...

Thank you all for your imput. Just launched my first live test
site for Drake CMS and the email form works like a dream.
I use Uniform Server to work on my local machine because
it is then really easy just to copy the entire folder over to CD
or USB stick and show people a site with live php pages.
