Setting up external SMTP mailer with 'smtp.inc' still doesn't work

This is as a followup to the post in the troubleshooting section at http://drupal.org/node/29888 and is regarding setting up external SMTP server using smtp.class files.

I did everything described in that thread:
- downloaded to the 'includes' directory files 'smtp.inc' and 'class.smth.inc'
- modified smtp.inc file to include all correct user credentials and auth info (I'm using an external, my ISP provider, SMTP server)
- modified settings.php to include smtp.inc file

I tested the mailer by 'requesting new password'. Got the following line output to apache stderr:

------------
PHP Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in C:\\Tools\\drupal-4.6.5\\includes\\class.smtp.inc on line 78, referer: http://localhost/?q=user/password
------------

My environment as follows (everything is installed on the same box):
- OS: Windows XP, SP2
- PHP: php-5.1.1-Win32
- WebServer: Apache 2.0.52
- DB: MySQL Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.12a
- Drupal ver 4.6.5

I took php.ini-recommended as my php.ini file. So these two variables are turned OFF:

- register_globals=Off
- allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off

I also tried to turned them both on, but that didn't make any difference.

Any ideas what might be wrong?.. In the meantime I'll try to downgrade my PHP installation to 5.0.x.

PS: if this won't work, can anyone please point me to the instructions on setting up 'phpmailer'?

cannot create first user

So I have Drupal up and running and I can get to the homepage, but when I click on a link I see a page with the contents of my drupal subdirectory in it...

I am new to Apache, is this an Apache setting I need to change? Drupal does not seem to be looking for a specific page, it is passing some querystring to create the first user and I don't know how to fix it.

please help.

PEAR to use a PostgreSQL DB

Hi, I didn't managed to find a easy way to handle this problem.

I'm using drupal-4.7.0 beta2. I've PHP5 and _must_ use a remote PostgreSQL server. But my PHP don't have PGSQL extension or PDO_PGSQL enabled (I'm using XAMPP, that don't comes with postgre libraries actually).

There's a way to use PEAR library to have my Drupal installation Postgre-driven?

Thanks ;)

unable to create admin account

Hi,

I have just installed drupal and created database tables.
I clicked in "create new user account" link and provided a username, my e-mail adress and submited the form.
After that, i was redirected to the first page with the login form.
I didn't received any e-mail with the password, so i opened the database and i saw that in the users table was created an unique entry with this values on it:
