"Unfortunately a network error occurred" on self hosted phpList

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your updates and info. Can you tell me which versions of phpList and WordPress you are using? Also, what are the domains and subdomains (URLs) for your phpList and WordPress? If I can look at what’s happening, it would help with the debugging.

As for the error message, it’s a good idea – but I’d really like to see if I can fine tune the error detection a little bit better, and try and detect why an error is being flagged if the email still goes through just fine.

Sorry you’re having issues, hopefully I can figure out what’s going on.

Cheers,
J

Hey Jaromy,

I’m running WordPress 4.2.1 and ran into the same issue, and I had a unique way of correcting it.

My site, too, was using two different domains, one for the wordpress site, and the other where the lists lived. They also just happened to live on the same server, as different virtual hosts.

They were installed in two different directories on the webserver, and I kinda super-cheated. I made a symlink from one to the other (so https://domain1.com/lists is equal to https://domain2.org/lists). Note this only works if the Apache option “FollowSymlinks” is enabled, and some may have very compelling reasons not to have it enabled.

flrichar,

A neat workaround! Yeah, I’m not sure what the standard/default setting is for most web hosts regarding the “FollowSymlinks” setting in Apache. To be honest, I’m not even sure what it is set to on my host’s server. But if it works, then great.

Cool, thanks for the tip!
