It appears that you forgot to add a little php code to your apache webserver to connect to the mailserver. I'm not exactly a php wizard, but it appears to be that problem, that no mailserver was specified or entered into the code. Either that, or there was a mistake, and it says it was on line 79. Check it out and see if you didn't add something in, or did add something not needed.

I checked line 79 in the file it told me to. It says...
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);
I didn't edit this file at all....

From what I believe, there should be a $send code in there. I can be wrong, but I think it could be either $send or $connect. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry, Im just trying to help.

Open your configuration file, or wherever you need to enter your host mail data and make sure all settings are correct. If you don't have a specific user, try localhost and see if that works. You can find this information wherever your mail is hosted.

The error is not in line 79. The mail command just tries to send the mail to the specific address $to with the message body $msg and the subject $subject and possibly additional headers. All these variables are gathered somewhere else in the script and need input from the current visitor. You need to configure your mail settings as GreekGoddess told. I think that the user, with which you are running the script (index.php) will appear as sender of the mail and should have access to your mail server. And of course your computer should have access to that server as well.

Okay, you usually have two options from your virtual control panel, let's take PHPNuke for example, go to your administrative configuration options.
You should see two choices, either e-mail via boards or through SMTP. If you choose SMTP, you have to make sure that all the data correlates with your SMTP account, or you will receive an error, oftentimes using localhost as your username with no password solves this. If it's still not working, try to enable e-mail via board.
It will usually look something like this: (This is the setup for PHPbb)
Use SMTP Server for email:
Say yes if you want or have to send email via a named server instead of the local mail function: Yes or No
SMTP Server Address
SMTP Username
Only enter a username if your smtp server requires it
SMTP Password
Only enter a password if your smtp server requires it
(I use host.sk and localhost is what I use, and you would put that under SMTP Server Address.)
