Description Harald Reindl 2012-11-20 19:05:59 UTC

Nov 20 18:07:18 localhost httpd: PHP Fatal error:  require_once() [<a href='http://at.php.net/manual/de/function.require.php'>function.require.php</a>]: Failed opening required 'PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php' (include_path='/usr/share/mantis/core/:/usr/share/mantis/library:.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /usr/share/mantis/core/email_api.php on line 56

Description of problem:
php-PHPMailer-5.2.1-1.fc17.noarch installs to "/usr/share/php/PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php", /usr/share/php is in the include_path - so i do not understand why this include fails

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable)
mantis-1.2.12-1.fc17.noarch 

this update is short ago and as far as i remember mantis works on this amchine since years and a lot of upgrades without any problem

How reproducible:
everytime mantis tries to send a mail

# Select the method to mail by: 0 - mail(),
# 1 - sendmail 
# 2 - SMTP. Default is 0.
$g_phpMailer_method = 2;

So I guess you installed the rpm from updates-testing? I built it few days ago to fix several security issues but did not notice the issue in my (short) tests.

Will investigate

Comment 2 Harald Reindl 2012-11-20 21:29:53 UTC

correct - i saw the impressive list of CVE's

mantis is not heavily used currently but server-security is defined by the weakest part, so i updated without real tests and tody i got notified by my regulary monitoring mailing php-errorlogs that something goes wrong

Comment 3 Gianluca Sforna 2012-11-20 23:46:41 UTC

I just double checked and I can definitely use phpmailer. More specifically, I configured it to use Gmail as SMTP like this:

$g_phpMailer_method     = PHPMAILER_METHOD_SMTP
$g_smtp_host            = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$g_smtp_username        = 'name';
$g_smtp_password        = 'pwd';
$g_smtp_port            = 587;
$g_smtp_connection_mode = 'tls';

and I was able to send emails.

Is there any other error message we can use to understand what's going on?

Comment 4 Harald Reindl 2012-11-20 23:51:04 UTC

not really
i do not understand at all what happens here

Failed opening required 'PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php'
"include_path" contains "/usr/share/php"
so after 10 years php-development i would guess "/usr/share/php/PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php" should be resloved with the relative include

well, the file exists and all parent folders have chmod 755
i am a little bit out of ideas

maybe i "fix" the include with a absolute path as workaround
with a large reminder to redo this after updates :-(

Comment 5 Harald Reindl 2012-11-20 23:52:38 UTC

errata: what about patching this path in the SPEC-file since it is supposed to work with the phpmailer-package of fedora where the path is 100% clear?

Comment 6 Gianluca Sforna 2012-11-20 23:54:19 UTC

Any SElinux Denials?

Comment 7 Harald Reindl 2012-11-20 23:55:28 UTC

sorry for the noise and you can call me an idiot :-(
php_admin_value open_basedir "/usr/share/mantis:/etc/mantis:/var/www/uploadtemp"

seems like today it sent the first time since years mails or tried to do so
strange - sorry again :-(

Comment 8 Gianluca Sforna 2012-11-21 08:05:19 UTC

No problems. Since it got only mild testing on my side, I was afraid I broken it.

So thank you for testing the package :)
