Postie broken in manual mode (but not in debug mode)

    I am running Postie 1.7.27 on WP 3.5.1.

    The test config doesn’t display any errors and indicates there is one pending message.

    When running the check mail script manually with debug output (“Debug” button), the pending mail is correctly retrieved. No error messages are displayed in the debug output.

    However: when running the Postie check mail script manually (“Process email” button), that mail isn’t retrieved, and the only displayed info on the resulting page is the Postie logo with “Postie Settings (v1.7.27)” linked to the settings page. Looking at the HTML source code of that displayed page, there is clearly a problem: it ends right after the closing h2 tag in which that image and text is displayed.

    Are there any messages in your PHP or web server logs?

    I just checked: none whatsoever.

    Try setting “Enable Debug Logging” to “Yes”

    I did set it, and ran “Process email” on two pending messages. Here is what displayed in the postie page:

    Postie Settings (v1.7.27)
    File type is not allowed

    (The html source code stops just after that line). Nothing in the Apache error log. However: both emails were processed, one with a problem at the end.

    When I run the same on the non problematic message, no error message is displayed either when clicking “Process email” or “Debug”.

    >File type is not allowed

    This does indicate that there is an attachment of a type that WordPress is configured to reject.

    I have had reports of some servers not displaying the Postie output. I’ve never been able to track it down.

    Just as a test could you disable all other plugins and see if Postie works as expected?

    Also is this a Linux or Windows server?

    1. The server is a Windows 2003 server (yeah). The web server is Apache.

    2. I think that the file type refers to the vcf part at the end of one of the two emails, it’s not catastrophic, since the email was imported and I can fix the bottom part correctly.

    3. Even when this problem (the file type) does NOT occur, the other problem that I reported is still there, i.e., the not-terminated postie page upon clicking on “Process email” and which displays only the title, so I have no idea what it is supposed to display if at all (when clicking “Debug” everything looks fine).

    On Windows you need to find the PHP log to see if there were any errors.
