    Default Mediawiki email notifications - HELP!

    HELP HELP - Anyone who has been down this road before

    I am trying to get the watchlist / talk page email notifications working.

    What is working:
    Mediawiki
    Confirmation emails
    Password reset emails
    "Email a user" emails

    I am receiving no directive error messages in phperrors.log files

    Current configuration
    PHP 5.2.8
    MySQL 5.1.31
    MediaWiki 1.13.3
    PEAR 1.7.2
    PEAR MAIL 1.1.14

    localsettings.php configuration
    ## SMTP Settings
    $wgSMTP = array (
    "host" => "mailhost.domain.com", // SMTP Server
    "debug" => true,
    "IDHost" => "webserver.domain.com", // Localhost
    # "localhost" => "webserver.domain.com",
    "port" => 25,
    "auth" => false
    # "username" => "user",
    # "password" => "password"

    );

    php.ini
    It doesn't matter wheather smtp is enabled or disabled

    Any suggestions as to how I can troubleshoot this configuration. I wish I could see what PHP / PEAR is doing. I don't see any error messages.

    How would I turn on appropriate debuging for PEAR / MediaWiki?

    Why does "Email a user" email work and talk/watch list email notifications don't?

    Thank you so much in advanced - I'll get some sleep now.

    Did you add the following to LocalSettings?

    $wgEnotifWatchlist = true;
    $wgEnotifUserTalk = true;

    Super good catch hoggwild!



    In all my testing and commenting out of commands in localsettings.php, I missed uncommenting them.

    Thanks for looking over my shoulder!

    I still haven't figures out how to do trace for debugging an issue like this with Mediawiki. What would you suggest for where I can look or a command that will turn on a logging / trace file?
