Re: Trouble with recurring invoices and email

Greetings,

We just did our scheduled invoices run. ÂThis time we set ourselves up
to be BCC'd. ÂUnfortunately, we never received the invoices.

I tcpdump'd the lo interface on port 25, and tailed apache access log,
apache error log, exim log, and syslog. ÂApache error log showed nothing
interesting, all debug info is related to SSL, the access log showed
that the page loaded when we did the transactions. ÂExim log shows no
connections, and the tcpdump shows no traffic on port 25. Âsyslog
reports no activity at all.

So what ever the problem is, it seems that the recurring transactions
are not attempting to mail out through smtp...

The following errors came up on the screen immediately after the run:

Posting Sales Invoice 3180 ..... done
Sending Invoice 3180Location:
is.pl?action=""> Content-type: text/html ..... done
Posting Sales Invoice 3181 ..... done
Sending Invoice 3181Location:
is.pl?action=""> Content-type: text/html ..... doneLocation: am.pl?action=""> Content-type: text/html

I find myself agreeing with Bill that this problem seems related to the
path argument. ÂIt is really the only discrepancy that shows up. ÂThere
is indeed no bin/mozilla anywhere on this machine. ÂBy mere
happenstance, I happen to have a very old box temporarily back on my
network from when I first opened my business, it has sql-ledger on it,
and it has a bin/mozilla (and a bin/lynx) within its directory
structure.

So perhaps bin/mozilla was removed and the code for recurring
transactions was not updated to reflect that?

As per before, the invoices were created, and we were able to re-send
them by email after.

If there is anything else I can add to be helpful, or anything I can do
to assist with testing a fix, please let me know

Get your SQL database under version control now!
Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent
caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under
version control? Why should you start doing it? Read more to find out.
