Question

After upgrade from Cairo mail notification doesn't work anymore.

Here is a command and returned message when I try to use tools/mailnotify

perl -wI /srv/www/twiki/bin/ tools/mailnotify
Undefined subroutine &TWiki::basicInitialize called at /srv/www/twiki/lib/TWiki/Contrib/Mailer.pm line 68.

Installation ended without any error and I got the same result as with mailnotify:

# ./bin/mailnotifier
Undefined subroutine &TWiki::basicInitialize called at /srv/www/twiki/lib/TWiki/Contrib/Mailer.pm line 68.

twiki/bin/configure gives neither warning nor error and all other plugins works well.

host:/srv/www/twiki # find . -exec grep -H basicInitialize {} \;
./bin/remove_obsolete_locks:    TWiki::basicInitialize();
./lib/TWiki/Contrib/Mailer.pm:    TWiki::basicInitialize();=

Thanks in advance!

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Please check these things:

1. There seems to be a version mismatch, Dakar has no basicInitialize. Please make sure you use the tools/mailnotify, lib/TWiki/Contrib/Mailer.pm and lib/TWiki/Contrib/MailerContrib/* from the TWikiRelease04x00x01 distribution.

2. Path to libs OK? Command line OK? Possibly: perl -w -I /srv/www/twiki/bin/ tools/mailnotify

3. Known issue of mailnotification, apply patch at Bugs:Item1654

Thanks for fast response! My problem was point 1. only (=version mismatch) because I installed MailerContrib.

Wouldn't it make sense to put warning on MailerContrib page that it should not be installed into Dakar release because it is already part of it?

Is there a template created with a Form Driven Email Notification Template? My members are not that particularly bright, and I'm having to make the pages as simple as possible?
