Reading Debug error log

[billscheltema]

Okay,

I found the fix for the order total and put in the new code, I'll watch and see if anything else comes up.
Now I did do a search for the first one but no threads.

[30-Jan-2009 15:10:19] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /includes/functions/functions_email.php on line 287

I upgraded from 1.3.7 to 1.3.8a a clean install.

Checked toe FAQ's as well.

The version of Zen Cart you're using is important ... because line 287 of that particular file contains different things depending which version you're running.

If the program is stopping on line 287 of functions_email.php in v1.3.8a, then your server has encountered an error while trying to send an email, and is trying to set up a display of the error message details but is unable to do so for some reason.

When you upgraded, did you happen to check/test sending emails from your site afterward?
What are your settings in Admin->Configuration->Email Options?

Thank you Dr.Byte,

Strangely, I can't see an option for send test email, I looked a few times to be sure I didn't miss it.

Is it the email friendly options?

Bill

[DrByte]

There are many events in Zen Cart that send emails. You should always test them all on your live site before taking orders, just as you should test all functions/features of the software to be sure they're operating as you desire.

Whether you have the Email Friendly Error message on or off, doesn't determine whether you can send emails or not. That only determines whether you get a blank screen showing an error message or whether the error message simply shows at the top of the next page in a red bar. Focusing on that setting is not going to solve whether the email system works or not.

I had asked what your email settings are. But since you don't want to share those, I'll just point you to general email-troubleshooting tips: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...Email_Problems

Oops, I think I misread your email. Sorry again.
I did try out some but not all of the email options.

I listed the options that I think effect the outcome of emails.
In the meantime I will be contacting the server for corrections.
Hopefully this is enough info.
I looked into the wiki but could not see anything
I also downloaded the email archive manager so I will look at it closely.

E-Mail Transport Method smtp
E-Mail Linefeeds CRLF
Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails false
Send E-Mails true
Verify E-Mail Addresses Through DNS false
Email Archiving Active? true
E-Mail Friendly-Errors true
Email Address (Displayed to Contact you) [email protected]
Email Address (sent FROM) [email protected]

Are you using "SMTP" mode for a particular reason?

[billscheltema]

Hi again,

I used the SMTP mode to see if I would get any errors.
It was originally SMTPAUTH prior to yesterday.

Bill

[DrByte]

Well, use whichever one works. Did you try "PHP" mode?

[billscheltema]

Dr.Byte,

No I haven't tried the PHP yet, thought I would give the SMTP a couple of days to see what would happen.
