I receive the error message below when trying to send mail to users. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thank you in advance.



An error has occurred:
2 - require_once(Mail/RFC822.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory @ C:\public_html\lib-common.php line 2864

array(1) {

}

Thank you ironmax.

I had read that bit and tried changing the true - false setting and defining the path to pear, but it did not help me, still received the error message.

Then after searching more through the forums I noticed Dirk sending people to a PHP manual to resolve the issue on their own. So...I am researching a bit. Thanks again.

Actually, it's the issue with non-case sensitive filesystems, as discussed here.

bye, Dirk

Thanks Dirk...I had forgot about this thread being here that I had created back in May. stolidus, give it a try and see if it fixes your problem. Most likely it will.

This is how my config is setup. Ok? Confused:

I followed your instructions and rechecked several times every step. still receiving the following error when checking for valid e-mail addy:

An error has occurred:
2 - require_once(Mail/RFC822.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory @ C:\public_html\lib-common.php line 2864

    require_once( 'Mail/RFC822.php' );

    $rfc822 = new Mail_RFC822;

Thanks for the help!

You didn't need to change the path_pear line in your config.php, put it back to this:

Text Formatted Code

$_CONF['path_pear'] = $_CONF['path_system'] . 'pear/';
 


and you should be in business.

Thanks!

At least I'm getting a different error message now!

My guess is you are running on a Windows box based on the paths you showed previously. I doubt you have a mail server running on it so that explains why you get the failed to connect message.

On that box, if you were going to configure a mail client to send email, what would you use for your outgoing server? That is what you want to put in the Geeklog config.php as well in these options.

Text Formatted Code

$_CONF['mail_settings'] = array (
    'backend' => 'mail', // can be one of 'mail', 'sendmail', 'smtp'

    // sendmail parameters (only needed for 'backend' => 'sendmail')
    'sendmail_path' => '/usr/bin/sendmail',
    'sendmail_args' => '',

    // SMTP parameters (only needed for 'backend' => 'smtp')
    'host'     => 'smtp.example.com',
    'port'     => '25',
    'auth'     => false,
    'username' => 'smtp-username',
    'password' => 'smtp-password'
);
 


Look at your SMTP settings, if you would put something like smtp.google.com as your outgoing server, then you would need to make sure you fill in the auth = true, username and password properly for your outgoing account.

Hope that helps...

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.

I tried the smtp backend and it does not send out any e-mails. When using the adminmail.php for sending to groups it returns with a no messages successfully sent without explaining further.

Also when sending to a single user it returns a message successfully sent block but then the e-mail is lost in process somewhere and never gets delivered.

Out of ignorance, I thought that php did not need sendmail and so was trying to make the mail function work... :banghead:

Any suggestions?

Ok, I think I have found the problem with smtp...

The mail relay I am connecting to forces SSL.

Is there a quick fix for this? Is there a line of code or a change I can make to authenticate with SSL when using the smtp backend?

Thank you again.

Decided to go with another mail relay and it works. The e-mail works! Thank you all for the time and help. Now on to other issues. :wink:
