Mail server error since last update

What version of PHP are you using?

Hi Wayne,

I am having the exactly same problem …. and it started when I updated the PHP from version 5.2 to 5.3.2.

Is the plugin not compatible

Thanks

Looks like the new feature I added for MS Exchange mail servers is only available after PHP 5.3.2. I’ll add a check and get a fix out.

How can I see what PHP version I have?

This will be fixed in 1.5.14

Hi,

after updating to 1.5.14 I get these errors:

[Wed Jun 26 04:42:37 2013] [error] [client xxxxx] PHP Warning: require_once(/usr/share/pear/PEAR.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /nas/wp/www/cluster-1493/xxx/wp-content/plugins/postie/mimedecode.php on line 66, referer: https://xxx/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=postie/postie.php

That is an odd error. Please try
1) reinstalling Postie
2) verify file permissions
3) verify file exists

Let me know what you find.

Is there a way to save all my config before delete and reinstall the plugin?

Deleting the plugin will not delete your settings.

Deleting and reinstalling the plugin didn’t help.

Can you be more specific with
2) verify file permissions
3) verify file exists
?

Thank you

Hi,

after I talked with my hosting (wpengine) support team, this is what I have been told:

Hi tradeasy —

I’ve just discussed this with one of our systems administrators who was able to confirm that we do not have PHP pear installed on our infrastructure. We are currently looking into the possibility of doing so, however, it would be more of a long term project and not something that we are able to do immediately.

Presently, it doesn’t appear that any functionality that uses pear would be able to function on our platform.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

I don’t think you need PHP pear installed, the error was about a missing file that is included in the plugin.

Hey, i am having very similar problem with Postie, just upgraded to Postie from PostByEmail and Postie is much better.

this is the error i get:

Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 5056 is not allowed to access /usr/lib/php/PEAR.php owned by uid 0 in /home/fdonscom/public_html/wp-content/plugins/postie/mimedecode.php on line 66

Warning: require_once(/usr/lib/php/PEAR.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/fdonscom/public_html/wp-content/plugins/postie/mimedecode.php on line 66

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘PEAR.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/fdonscom/public_html/wp-content/plugins/postie/mimedecode.php on line 66

The Pear.php file exists and permissions are correct on it.

is there a fix for it?

It looks like you have 2 copies of PEAR.php. One in /home/fdonscom/public_html/wp-content/plugins/postie/ and one in /usr/lib/php/

It is the second one that is causing the problem. Please check the permissions on /usr/lib/php/PEAR.php
