Error with ecard feature

[rocdane]

When I want to send an ecard, I receive a page error HTTP 500 from my host server.
Nevertheless, the ecard is received properly by the recipient.
I would like correct that because it is not very clean.

Check your server error logs.

Have you read the section in the FAQ dealing with free.fr ?

Please answer Nibbler's question.  Did you do what it says in the faq for users hosted on free.fr

[rocdane]

Yes Nibbler I red the FAQ dealing with free.fr
I think this FAQ is not currrently up to date because Coppermine works without modifing the file include/init.inc.php.
I nevertheless installed the patch of Greg.
The upload from a browser works fine, the e-card too except the problem I mentionned above.

[Casper]

The same thing happened when I tried.
it does look like this is a server error, not due to coppermine.

I have the same problem (on same server...)

I think it should be possible to fix this somehow because the rest works (and email works as well - e.g. on my forum (phpBB) on free.fr)

So is there a workaround?

[Joachim Müller]

I think it should be possible to fix this somehow

Since nobody from the dev team is webhosted on free.fr, we probably can't solve issues that come up only on one host. I suggest you take a look into this and post a fix once you found out. There are usually two methods a webserver sends emails: using smtp or sendmail. Coppemine can use smtp - maybe phpbb is using sendmail?

Yes, phpBB is configured using sendmail (it's sending mails using the mail() function).

But coppermine does it as well (if you don't fill in the "$CONFIG['smtp_host']" in mailer.inc.php) - or am I mistaken?

Anyway... I don't really know where to start with this. :-\\

UPDATE:
The registration mail works. So the problem must be somewhere within ecard.php...

[goldmar]

ok, here seems to be a solution (found out after some trying):

Open ecard.php

Search for

Code Select Expand

$result = cpg_mail($recipient_email, $subject, $message, 'text/html', $sender_name, $sender_email);

Replace with

Code Select Expand

$result = cpg_mail($recipient_email, $subject, $message, 'text/html', $sender_email);

Works fine then...
