OTRS 3.0.9 not auto fetching tickets [2]

[sdekroon]

Dear,

We have the same issue with an new installation. the file otrs.Cron4Win32.pl is mentioned as above not correctly.

In the file i see this:
my $PerlExe = "c:/perl/bin/perl.exe";
my $Directory = "e:/workspace/otrs30/var/cron";
my $CronTabFile = "e:/workspace/otrs30/crontab.txt";
my $OTRSHome = "e:/workspace/otrs30";

I work on an CentOs system so the install is in /opt/otrs/

Can anyone help me to provide me the right links?

Regards,

Sander

Your crontab should have an entry like this:

Code: Select all

# fetch mail every 5 minutes
*/5 * * * * /opt/otrs/bin/otrs.PostMasterMailbox.pl >> /tmp/cron.log

Note: it's PostMaster*Mailbox*.pl, not PostMaster.pl

Why are you using Windows paths in a CentOs environment?

I don't have change this, default it is in place.
Can you tell me what the right url's are?

Thanks for your help in advance.

[crythias]

First, your issue is not related at all to CronWin32.pl

Second, please explain how you installed otrs, what version, what works, what doesn't, what the log messages say (System Log), and then it'll be easier to address.

[crythias]

By the way, your cron needs to NOT have PostMaster.pl in it.

[sdekroon]

I have run CentOS 5.5 on a server (clean) with install the OTRS 3.0.9 RPM file as mentioned by http://wiki.otrs.org/index.php?title=In ... CentOS_5.5.

Everything works right now what we need, so we can create / modify tickets and can send e-mails to an adres.

When we run manual fetch e-mail the e-mail will be imported from the e-mail adres. Right now i will automate this process.

The syslog entry show the error message from the moment of run Cron.sh.

I don't have do anything with PostMaster.pl, so i don't know why this file is mentioned in the log..

[sdekroon]

Today i have spent time on the auto import e-mail issue, after compare a lot of default files and my files i have fix it.

In the fetchmail script i have set otrs.postmaster.pl and replace this with otrs.postmastermailbox.pl.
Right now every minute there is an auto import e-mail so it works fine, the only issue what i have right now is that the log files says "error sending e-mail"

See log files below:

Please read the manual
I am almost certain, that you changed your /opt/otrs/var/cron/postmaster_mailbox, but you did not run Cron.sh afterwards, since the old jobs were still alive.
`crontab -l -u otrs` will show you exactly how OTRSs crontab looks like at system level.
Doing a mix of fetchmail with postmaster and postmastermailbox will most likely fail.
