Bad Error Messages Regarding Mailparse

[linveo]

Hello,

 

On a new Blesta install I kept getting a warning while setting up the Department mail accounts that the PECL mailparse was not installed. However, it was installed and functioning correctly. The true issue was that phpinfo was disabled and Blesta could not verify that mailparse was loaded. I spent a good amount of time troubleshooting mailparse when it was actually the disabled phpinfo module. This may be an edge case, but it would be more helpful for the system to recognize its verification method could fail via phpinfo and not that the required modules aren't installed.

You need to remember there's two sort of MailParse, you might (or might not) have the PHP version or the PECL version. Are you using a control panel?

[linveo]

Yes, I have the PECL version installed correctly. The error message went away after I enabled phpinfo.

Yes, I have the PECL version installed correctly. The error message went away after I enabled phpinfo.

 

 

enabled phpinfo? huh? 

[linveo]

Yes, you can disable certain php functions in the php.ini.

Did you receive the same notice about Mailparse not being installed when you installed Blesta?

 

phpinfo is a function that outputs the PHP configuration settings. Blesta doesn't parse this to determine whether you have Mailparse installed. Instead, it checks whether the Mailparse extension is loaded. The extension_loaded function may require phpinfo--I'm not sure.

 

If you're disabling certain functions in php.ini, you'll have to be aware of this fact and its impact when installing or upgrading software on the server, as any new software can try to make use of something you have disabled.
