boxturt Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 My daughter, currently in Australia, has an email account provided for through one of my hosting accounts. (She's using SquirrelMail) She can reach the account and sign in just fine but is unable to open any email (regardless of size or content) as it keeps timing out. I have no trouble at all from here in CT USA Are there any tests she can do or suggestions I can make. I'm rather at a loss here. It's not like I can just walk down the hall and help her out. (I miss those days) . Thanks bunches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
click Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 There is a bug in PHP 4.4.1 that TCH recently upgraded to that will cause SquirrelMail to timeout when opening messages. If it's a stand alone copy you installed, try setting "$allow_server_sort = true" in config.php otherwise, you should probably open a support ticket to have the techs look at it. There are also a couple lines in download.php that need to be tweaked. Details here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 One thing I've found is if I access with secure https webmail hangs. But accessing with just http it seems to work fine. Don't know how she's accessing but thought I would mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxturt Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thanks Bruce, I'll mention that to her. Thanks click, interesting and it DID start happening the day the php upgrades started. I'm going to try to get some more information from her before opening a ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the implication of not tweaking the download.php lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
click Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thank you for this fix! I was wondering why I couldn't read emails all the sudden! What is the implication of not tweaking the download.php lines? Honestly, I'm not real sure... The SquirrelMail site just says: PHP 4.4.0 and register_globals=on + SquirrelMail 1.4.5 or older * Variable corruption in messages with attachments.

bellringr Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 My e-mail has been up and down the past couple of days at least. I only use Squirrel Mail, but not the stand alone. And yes, we sign in with https. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrflyer Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) Yeah mine started doing this over the past 48hrs out of nowhere... Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /usr/local/squirrelmail-1.4.3a/src/read_body.php on line 95 Edited January 5, 2006 by vrflyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I would start with a ticket to see if anything can be done from our end. I will say that I am not having issues with the one installed on my server though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, 1.4.3a is an old version. Latest is 1.4.5 with, it looks like, several security fixes since 1.4.3. Looks like this is TCH's install???

boxturt Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 I submitted a help ticket at 8:56. At 9:16 I received a reply stating the problem should now be fixed for me It was an error related to the php upgrade. Now I just neeed to hear from the kid on the other side of the planet (using the account) to let me know if it is working for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
