cstevensjr Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Adrian/Pete, I am having a problem with this module on a newly fresh install of 3.0.17. The module installs alright However, whenever you click the settings button, this is what I get: Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. It works on other installs (even ones that have upgraded to 3.x). I have been meaning to spend some additional time troubleshooting this issue but just haven't had the free time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrura Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 @Charles - i have it running on that same version with no errors; what version of PHP are you running with that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstevensjr Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 PHP 7 at this time. I will downgrade it to 5.6 and see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstevensjr Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Update: Taking it down to 5.6.19 did the trick. It's working fine now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Thanks Charles, Please try the latest version. I don't have currently have a PHP 7 setup to test so there might be additional errors, but that one should be fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstevensjr Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Went back to PHP 7.0.6 and did the upgrade to the newest ProcessEmailToPage version. I sent you a PM with the results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dab Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Error seems to have resolved with new cron. Thanks will try with "/dev/null 2>&1" if it repeats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Went back to PHP 7.0.6 and did the upgrade to the newest ProcessEmailToPage version. I sent you a PM with the results. Thanks for all the testing! Just to let everyone else know - Charles has tested the latest version (just committed) and it is working properly with PHP 7. Error seems to have resolved with new cron. Thanks will try with "/dev/null 2>&1" if it repeats. Glad you sorted out the cron issues! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Pilnei Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I went from PHP 5.5.9 to 7.07 (on PW 3.0.22, Process Email to Page 1.1.9) and got a cron issue right away (before it was working perfectly). This was the error message: Error: Exception: There was an error connecting to the server. A secure connection was requested, but was not available. Try a non-secure connection instead. (in /var/www/vhosts/aic-info.de/httpdocs/pw/site/modules/ProcessEmailToPage/flourishlib/fMailbox.php line 969) #0 /var/www/vhosts/aic-info.de/httpdocs/pw/site/modules/ProcessEmailToPage/flourishlib/fMailbox.php(1199): fMailbox->connect() #1 /var/www/vhosts/aic-info.de/httpdocs/pw/site/modules/ProcessEmailToPage/ProcessEmailToPage.module(439): fMailbox->listMessages() #2 /var/www/vhosts/aic-info.de/httpdocs/pw/wire/core/WireHooks.php(619): ProcessEmailToPage->importFromEmail(Object(ProcessWire\HookEvent)) #3 /var/www/vhosts/aic-info.de/httpdocs/pw/wire/core/Wire.php(370): ProcessWire\WireHooks->runHooks(Object(ProcessWire\Page), 'render', Array) #4 /var/www/vhosts/aic-info.de/httpdocs/pw/wire/modules/Process/ProcessPageView.module(205): ProcessWire\Wire->__call('render', Array) #5 [internal function]: ProcessWire\ProcessPageView-> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Adding the "/dev/null 2>&1" to the unique URL did not reproduce the error message, but it did also not fetch the mail from the mail box. As switching back to PHP5.5.9 cures it there seem to be glitches when using PHP 7.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstevensjr Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I will attempt to verify, however I am still at PW 3.0.20 (with an Automatic Page Name Format/PageTable issue reported in Github #1878) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstevensjr Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Follow-up I tested with PW 3.0.20 and PHP 5.6.19. Then I then upgraded the PHP to 7.0.6. With both PHP versions everything worked as normal. I setup a new cron job and that is working without any problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Thanks for testing @cstevensjr @Werner Pilnei - are you running the site as https? Can you try having the cron call the standard http version of the url instead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Pilnei Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 @adrian Yes, the site is on https. Calling the standard url does not help - as the site rewrites it to https and I can't figure out how to reset it to not rewrite it . As I have no need to go to PHP 7.x - it works with https and 5.5.9 perfectly - I can live with the status quo. Thanks for looking into that issue.

adrian Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Maybe this issue should be brought up the Flourish guys since that is where the error message is coming from. Perhaps the first thing to try is to replace the files in the flourishlib subfolder of this module with the latest versions from: https://github.com/flourishlib/flourish-classes Even though there haven't been many changes in a while, this module is still using an outdated version of fMailbox.php Would you mind replacing all these and seeing if it helps?

Werner Pilnei Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Unfortunately it didn't help, Adrian. Looking at the Flourish web page I got the impression that this is a 'dead' project - the jungest blog entry is from 2012, also the forum has latest activities from 2013. That PHP 7 might have issues with these classes is probably not too strange. The fMailbox.php also indicates an age of 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yeah, it looks like this module really needs to move away from using Flourish. Anyone out there experienced with any good alternatives for reading emails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendonKoz Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Just happened across this while randomly perusing (since I love the work Jason and Pete did with this). I have an updated version of the fMailbox.php class in my github account that may solve some of these issues. Technically speaking, the "problem" is that newer versions of PHP are much more secure, and so when connecting to mail servers it's *actually* checking validity of certificates and credentials and what-not. The quickest way to get things working is to fall back on how PHP used to work -- no security checks. My fMailbox.php version does that. It's not the best solution, but determining exactly how to get fMailbox to properly work with all variations of servers, certificates, credentials and what-not was just not working out too well for me. In terms of a good PHP mailbox checking library, I've found that Flourish seems to have one of the best even if it is primarily a dead project. https://github.com/BrendonKoz/flourish-classes/blob/master/fMailbox.php There have been various GitHub users that have all forked the Flourish library and provided pull requests. I've seen some and added the few fixes that (1)I hadn't already added, or that (2)didn't conflict. That said, there have been others that have been much more active in maintaining their fork than I have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Thanks for your post @BrendonKoz - I have never actually used this module, despite contributing a fair bit of code to it, so I haven't really been pushed into finding a solution. I'd love to hear from @Werner Pilnei whether he has success with your version of fMailbox.php - if it solves his problems then it sounds like it might be the best solution for now. Thanks again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendonKoz Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I haven't used it either but have thought about contributing to this particular module (since I've done work with fMailbox.php). As long as I've followed ProcessWire I still have yet to have a production website developed with it under my belt...but that will "soon" change. At that point I'll be better able to contribute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of a good PHP mailbox checking library, I've found that Flourish seems to have one of the best even if it is primarily a dead project. I use this module on a daily basis and have no problem with it working on PHP 7. The fact that newer versions of PHP are "more secure", to me is not a "problem" but a commendable thing. Maybe I'm missing something, but the fact that this module is working on PHP 7.x with the changes made back in June (when I reported a problem), leads me to think that if there is any problem, it would be in the setup of the cronjob that the user @Werner Pelnei was using. I originally had problems with the cronjob, but was able to to get it to work with PHP 7.x /usr/bin/curl -s "https://www.mywebsite.com/?hash=aaaa----secret-hash----aaaa" > /dev/null This statement was what finally worked. I just hope that the module works and doesn't circumvent needed security parameters introduced in newer PHP versions. I don't want to have to stop relying on the functionality that this module gives me. As I stated earlier, it works (without any needed new changes to the flourish library in the module) with PHP 7.x Edited September 12, 2016 by cstevensjr added additional detail 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Pilnei Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 @adrian I am sorry but I am no longer using the module - my customer didn't want to use the functionality and so I removed it. Thank you guys for your efforts in helping me out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for getting back to me. @BrendonKoz - I think if everything is working fine for @cstevensjr as it is, then maybe we should just leave until there are issues for others - unless you feel strongly that the change should be made - in which case maybe you could elaborate so that @cstevensjr agrees that the change needs to be made. I'll leave this up to you guys to figure out if that's ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendonKoz Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 No, I actually side with @cstevensjr in not wanting to remove the added security. I do have some additional fixes that have nothing to do with the security certificate issues though, so at some point I'll probably offer those fixes as a patch to the plugin without introducing the reduced security. They primarily have to deal with fixing the way various mail clients and how they handle (or don't correctly handle) attachments and/or inline images. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDC Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I was getting the same error as Werner Pilnei but I am using PHP 5.6.19 so can't be a PHP 7 thing. It says that it can't make a secure connection but I have Force Secure off (on POP3) in the settings so couldn't understand why it was trying a secure connection? I added echo("this-secure - ".$this->secure); just before the fsockopen command in line 963 and it came back as FALSE so that is working but when I added echo("this-secure".$this->secure ? 'tls://' . $this->host : $this->host); it came back with tls://mail.caltd.ie That's not right I thought and changed the line (963) $this->connection = fsockopen( $this->secure ? 'tls://' . $this->host : $this->host, with the plain $this->connection = fsockopen( $this->host, And it worked. Why this Ternary Operators doesn't work here But this works: $this->connection = fsockopen( $this->secure === TRUE ? 'tls://' . $this->host : $this->host, and keeps the functionality of the Secure / not Secure. Hope this helps. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hi @RDC - thanks for the update. I just took a look at the Flourish lib's github page and it looks like there is now a PHP 7 branch so maybe there is life in the project. I know you aren't using PHP 7, but I would still be curious if this new version works for you. You can grab the required flourish files here: https://github.com/flourishlib/flourish-classes/tree/php7-compat-plus-misc-fixes Please let me know how that goes.
