Re: [otrs] RE: otrs Digest, Vol 26, Issue 19

2005-09-15 Thread Graham T. Smith
Failure to resolve an address indicates that either the domain name does
not exist or a DNS configuration issue. Error messages in original
message support this...

Have you checked the server mail logs, attempted to resolve the
addresses (i.e with PING), and checked the DNS entries on an alternative
DNS server. Fetchmail collects and passes mail to the MDA which then
processes the mail, the MDA logs may contain more information. 

If the domain name does not resolve, but a record exists in the DNS it
is usually a DNS server issue, if no record exists for a domain but the
domain name is registered it is a DNS registration issue, otherwise this
is a perfectly normal response if you have configured your MDA not to
accept mail from unresolvable domains. BTW unresolvable sender address
domains are good indicators for spam or possibly SMTP hacking attempts.

This is NOT an OTRS problem but a more fundamental mail server and DNS
configuration issue.

 Hi all,
 
 Thx to Duarte for his help but it is not a DNS problem.
 
 These error messages only appear for these emails.
 Dozen and dozen of others are ok.
 
 The problem is also the fact that that seems to be a message from fetchmail.
 I use fetchmail only to get emails from another server to give them to OTRS.
 
 Anyone has another idea ?
 
 Thx
 Florent

Re: [otrs] Mail Timestamp.

2005-07-06 Thread Graham T. Smith
Have you checked the Mail Headers, and what time zone the mail client
you are receiving the mail thinks it is in? Combinations of local clock,
UTC, and non UTC settings can cause some mail clients to display
timestamps incorrectly. 

BTW: If memory serves me right mail relays are not supposed to reset the
initial timestamp.

 Thats a good suggestion, Trevor.
 
 The thing is, I'm in London.  All Time Zone settings are at GMT with a 
 fat +0 for everything. I've tested by sending both to my work account 
 and my personal email account (hich is hosted in Montana). I've haven't 
 had timestamp troubles since I've gotten here.
 
 More Troubleshooting:
 - I also tested the box itself by whipping up a php script to shoot me 
 an email directly through its functions and THAT timestamp is hunky-dory.
 
 - Messages straight from the command line with sendmail are properly 
 timestamped as well.
 
 I'm flummoxed.

  Hi,
 
  I was using a RH9  based distribution with Apache 2 (httpd-2.0.40-24) and 
  mysql 3 (mysql-3.23.58-1.9)  but decided to upgrade to the latest version 
  of the distribution which is based on Fedora Core 2 (kernel 2.6.9.10). 
  This uses apache 2 (httpd-2.0.51-3.0.cc) and mysql 4 
  (mysql-server-4.1.8-1.cc). Old perl version was 5.8 and new perl version 
  is 5.8.3 and is located in /usr/bin/perl. Otrs version is 1.31 at the 
  moment but I do not want to upgrade to 1.32 unless that is going to make 
  sense in my current situation.
 
  This is th eonly web based application on the box that has failed to work 
  after the upgrade. I have other php based web applications that can access 
  the database without issue, and the websites located on the box are not 
  showing any issues. It is only OTRS that seems to have an issue that 
  results in an apache child process seg faulting.
 
  This occurs when I try to access the logon page, either customer or agent 
  and sometimes I dont even get the logon page displaying. When I start the 
  otrs service its checks complete ok although I did have to set 
  OTRS_DB_RUNNING=0 in /etc/sysconfig/otrs. The log shows the connection 
  being authorised when I enter my details into the logon fields but then it 
  just goes to a 404 page. Setting apaches log level to debug does not seem 
  to produce any more information.
 
  Having looked through this thread Segmentation fault (Apache 1.3  2) 
  when trying to login to OTRS on the mailing list which appears to be very 
  similar, but I dont get any further by following its suggestions. I do not 
  get any error message when starting via apachectl. Perl:DBI is 
  perl-DBI-1.40-4.
 
  Can anyone give me a direction to follow as I am at a loss.

Re: [otrs] Otrs mobile phone access

2005-06-17 Thread Graham T. Smith
You will get access with a Sony Ericsson using the Opera Browser on
p9xx. How usable this is a moot point due to screen size and aspect
ratio issues.

Nokia 9500 is fine. Probably be OK with 9300 as this is effectively a
9500 without Wi-Fi or camera.

Nokia 9210 will load it at about 9.6kbs a second (so very slow).

Unfortunately factors effecting performance (hence usability) are not
just down to the phone, but also to how the service supplier provides
data services. Using the lite theme will probably help performance, but
as far as I know there is no mechanism to associate a particular theme
with either the location or type of device making the connection. So
unless one wants to use the lite theme for all locations one would have
to manually reset the theme each one accessed otrs from a mobile
device.

Re: [otrs] Re: Re: Upgraded system and now OTRS causes a segfault inapache

2005-06-17 Thread Graham T. Smith
Some points of clarification.

You seem to be suggesting that you have a 1.3.1 otrs database backending
for a 1.2.4 otrs system. As the database schema is different between
1.2.x and 1.3.x would suspect that this could cause a few problems. If
on the otherhand you have a unupgraded 1.2.x database being accessed by
a 1.3.x otrs setup the 1.3.x setup will tend fall apart. Both 1.2.4 and
1.3.1 accessing the same dataset sounds like one of those interesting
experiences :-)

The problems you are reporting seems to be consistent with a 1.2.x
database being used with 1.3.x (at least in my experience), it is
possible that the database itself was not upgraded when you upgraded to
the new distro if you were originally running 1.2.x. You do not report
what version of otrs was installed before you upgraded the distro.

 Hi and thanks for the reply.
 
 I did not upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3.1, as the upgrade I  performed was on the 
 linux box. The otrs version stayed at 1.3.1 while apache, perl, and mysqls 
 version changed. The current windows vmware session has otrs 1.2.4 on it at 
 present but is pointing at a 1.3.1 database on the broken linux machine.
