Server setting breaking php email, phpmyadmin, export tools???

[divinelighting]

Solved the email problem. It was a typo in the form of name@!domain.com. For some reason, the email validator did not catch the ! during signup, then the customer sees a blank page with this message

Email Error: Could not instantiate mail function. Please check Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Email Transport.

This seems like a bug, and the customer is warned about an invalid email address for other errors, such as missing @. I am using 1.3.9h.

Ok, I found the problem, sort of. Yesterday I installed Google Checkout, and it had edits to orders.php, which broke paypal refund functionality. I'll go over to GC thread and see if I can figure it out.

Thanks for the help Limitless.

But is it enabled in php.ini?


Also, in regards to M1Export, do you have the Zend or Ioncube encoded files? Do you have them installed and enabled?


When I was testing my backup/restore procedures to a different server, my admin panel, M1 tools, etc. were failing due to missing ioncube.

Maybe post up relevant section of php.ini (extensions)

The only place that curl is mentioned in php.ini is under windows extensions, all of which are commented out. Should this be changed?

; Windows Extensions
; Note that ODBC support is built in, so no dll is needed for it.
; Note that many DLL files are located in the extensions/ (PHP 4) ext/ (PHP 5)
; extension folders as well as the separate PECL DLL download (PHP 5).
; Be sure to appropriately set the extension_dir directive.
;
;extension=php_curl.dll

Yes, I believe curl is used for Paypal, not 100% certain though.

If your webserver isn't running on Windows/IIS then you do NOT want to uncomment lines that are specific to Windows.
On the plus side, if you DO uncomment that line, your PHP will completely break and all your websites will completely die. So you'll know for sure you've done something wrong.

It's not really clear anymore what specific problem you're actually having.
Always best to compare your site files against original code, and fix whatever's been changed. It's the most efficient starting point.
