Description of problem: MantisBT includes some scripts that are meant to be used from the command line, those scripts are located in /usr/share/mantis/scripts, mantis-1.2.12 includes two scripts send_emails.php and checkin.php The fedora package for mantis uses the enviroment variable MANTIS_CONFIG to change the location of the mantis configuration file (config_inc.php) from /usr/share/mantis to /etc/mantis, however since the enviroment variables are not available to the scripts executed from the command line the scripts mentioned above didn't work in a default installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mantis-1.2.12-2.fc19 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install mantis, configure default settings. 2. Modify /etc/mantis/config_inc.php to enable the option to send emails using a crontab. $g_email_send_using_cronjob = ON; 3. Attempt to use the script /usr/share/mantis/scripts/send_emails.php to send emails from the mantis queue. Actual results: When trying to execute send_emails.php, nnthing happens, not an error message, the script just fails silently, because the main script /usr/share/mantis/core.php fails to found the config_inc.php file. Expected results: The script should process the email queue of mantis and send the e-mails. Additional info: From the experiments I have performed, I can think of the following solutions for this issue: - At install of the mantis rpm, create a symbolic link from /usr/share/mantis/config_inc.php to /etc/mantis/config_inc.php, since by default the scripts and tools of mantis search for the config file at this location (/usr/share/mantis/config_inc.php) - Update the scripts (send_emails.php, checkin.php) to add a line that sets the location of the config_inc.php file, very basic something like: putenv('MANTIS_CONFIG=/etc/mantis/config_inc.php'); - A variation of the previous method, some function that process /etc/httpd/conf.d/mantis.conf and extracts the value of MANTIS_CONFIG
