phpBB3 on LAMP - routing + utility problems

Have phpBB3 stack. Cannot configure to send email. Initially got an error like this when trying to send an email (via “email member” or “mass email”:
<
Could not connect to smtp host : 0 : php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution
>

Then made some changes to network configuration and get this:
<
Could not connect to smtp host : 101 : Network is unreachable
>
These are both problems, but then when trying to diagnose the problem, found that “ping” returns “cannot execute binary”; “sudo” returns “command not found” and “dig” returns “command not found”. Is the bitnami really that stripped down?

Please help.

Thanks

Hi,

Are you using the Virtual Appliance? The VA has installed the minimum set of tools to run the application, if you want to install the ping tool for example, you can type “zypper install iptools”.
