I have followed setup both ways of setting up email pipping at http://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Support+Manager#SupportManager-EmailPiping and they dont seem to work and when i try using the IMAP option the emails dont get imported so at the moment i cant fully migrate from V2.5 due to support desk not working.

 

Support seems to take hours to reply and i have been waiting 8 hours for a reply hence why ive come to the forum for help.

First, this isn't a hosting company...it's a software company...8 hours isn't a very long to wait for a response for a software product...just sayin'

 

Secondly...what does Tools > Logs show?  Any errors anywhere?  Can you tell us exactly how you have it setup, etc?  You didn't give very many details with which to help you.

Yeah sorry but for a software company with 3 main guys, it's hard for them to answer loads of tickets within a day, they are doing the Blesta product / modules etc as-well. I always recommend the forum for support as you never know us members and the guys might have already answered your question.

 

Please try: http://www.blesta.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1017-email-piping/page-2#entry8817

 

And if it doesn't work. open the pipe.php and replace: #!/usr/bin/php -q with #!/usr/local/bin/php -q

what I'm going to do as I've been trying for the last month with no ideas at all from the guys here and the ideas you guys have put forward as well dont seem to work 

 

im going to use a 3rd party support script which is not going to help me or my customers as they now have to remember more login details for the support desk until something does get resolved with the email pipping unless support can get it working by accessing my account and try and get this working or i may have to sell my licence and put it towards client exec when V5 comes out which  is something i don't want to do as i do love besta but V2 is way out of date and is causing me moving to the V3 is the email piping.

 

This is something down to the fact i want a single log on for my customers for billing and support which is currently unavailable

Out of curiosity... when you are using IMAP does your cron log show the following?

 

Attempting plugin cron for support_manager poll_tickets.

 

-->Output Attempting plugin cron for support_manager poll_tickets

 

 

Not to highjack this post however, with IMAP or POP3 the tickets will not import on my end either if the cron job is ran automatically and it only affects the support tickets import part.

I have a montthly Blesta licens through buycpanel.com, and I'm having some problems getting the pipe and/or imap to work with my Blesta installation.

I've had the above errors as listed in email with certain config parameters, and I've tried 2 varitions of pipe.php; one gives simliar erros to above, the other has problems with the " . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ".." statement.   I would open a ticket, but I'm not registered on Blesta to do so in buying thru a reseller.   Any help I can get resolving the issue is sincerely appreciated.

When I use BASH at the beginning of the php code (see below), with file chmode 755, I get the following errors (see below code).


#!/usr/bin/php -q

<?php

try {

    include(dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ".." . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ".." . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . "lib/init.php");

    

    // Dispatch the Web request

    if (!empty($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))

        Dispatcher::dispatch($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

    // Dispatch the CLI request

    else

        Dispatcher::dispatchCli($argv);

}

catch (Exception $e) {

    try {

        // Attempt to raise any error, gracefully

        Dispatcher::raiseError($e);

    }

    catch (Exception $e) {

        if (Configure::get("System.debug"))

            echo $e->getMessage() . " on line <strong>" . $e->getLine() .

I ended up moving hosts and using osticket for my support tickets.

 

I will be looking at moving back to blesta for the support side of things shortly but that's not at the top of my list to be honest.

 

The developers should see your having the same issue as me Scott and may be able to help you.

Try #!/usr/local/bin/php -q instead.

Thanks for the insight Manchester :)  But I really would prefer to keep it all working in Blesta.  If I can't get support working then I'll dump it completely and go over to WHMCS (sorry to swear in this forums like that.. hehe ).  But I need the automation component,  I'm a small operation and automation matters. :)

I've also tried to setup a simple (or so I thought)  IMAP config, which I've worked at establishing first with  support@      But when that wouldn't work, I thought OK, I'll pipe it instead - but that isn't an easy task either.   I think I'm missing something in the mix (obviously), and if it can work, then it should work, as this is a fresh cpanel build with nothing that special for bells 'n whistle addons.   I'm running on a CentOS box, with Linux Cloud on top for security & resource control, then cPanel and a few addons, nothing that special.

 

Cheers!

Working on the IMAP part... while I'm waiting to see if the other bounces...

When I send email to support@   which is setup as IMAP,  the Tools/Log section said the following regarding the reply it tried to send out:

Connection to tcp://imap.albertahost.ca:465 Timed Out


1.  If it tried to send a reply -  where is the test message I sent to support@ (controlled/configured via IMAP).

2.  I looked all over for that  "get mail / tickets' button, and i can't find it - where is it located?

OK..

 

When editing  /etc/aliases file

 

Now if the bash that worked for me (no bounce errors - although don't know where the mail went either)...  is using #!/usr/local/bin/php -q

 

 

Does that mean in the aliases file I should be using /usr/local/bin/php  and not /usr/bin/php  as show in the example quoted below from the DOCs*


support: "|/usr/bin/php /home/user/public_html/plugins/support_manager/pipe.php plugin/support_manager/ticket_pipe/index/1"



So should I be using the one below with /usr/local/bin/php  used instead, in the aliases file???


support: "|/usr/local/bin/php /home/user/public_html/plugins/support_manager/pipe.php plugin/support_manager/ticket_pipe/index/1"


Currently I'm using the TOP VERSION, and mail didn't bounce - but I don't know where it went now after changing over bash to #!/usr/local/bin/php -q

I don't believe you do use that in the cron, however replace pipe.php with the code attached.

 

This is what Cody gave us in another thread because a few of us had issues, not sure if it's the one you have already though:

#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
<?php
/**
 * This files pipes email messages into the system. This is configured to process
 * messages for only a single company ID. Clone this file and change the
 * $company_id variable below to add pipe support for additional companies.
 */
$company_id = 1;

try {
	include(dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ".." . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ".." . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . "lib/init.php");
	
	$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = null;
    $argv = array(
        '',
		'plugin/support_manager/ticket_pipe/index/' . $company_id
    );
	unset($company_id);
	
	// Dispatch the Web request
	if (!empty($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))
		Dispatcher::dispatch($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
	// Dispatch the CLI request
	else
		Dispatcher::dispatchCli($argv);
}
catch (Exception $e) {
	try {
		// Attempt to raise any error, gracefully
		Dispatcher::raiseError($e);
	}
	catch (Exception $e) {
		if (Configure::get("System.debug"))
			echo $e->getMessage() . " on line <strong>" . $e->getLine() .
				"</strong> in <strong>" . $e->getFile() . "</strong>\n" .
				"<br />Printing Stack Trace:<br />" . nl2br($e->getTraceAsString());
		else
			echo $e->getMessage();
	}
}
?>
