Summary: POPfetcher: Posting New Entries by Email doesn't work

Initial Comment:
Hello everybody!!

I'm very interested in the possibility to Post New Entries by Email, I've installed the plugin POPfetcher in my system, but it doesn't work at all.

I've configured with this options:


Plugin Type: External  
External Launch Name: popfetcher  
author: webmaster  
Mail Server: 159.23.98.66
Username:  webmaster
Password: webmaster
Restrict e-mail sender: 
Category:    
Upload Directory : /doc/serendipity/mailattachments
Blog flag: Yes
Use plaintext attachments as entry body? No  
First text attachment is entry body: No  
Strip advertisements? No  
Strip text after special string:
Strip HTML Tags from message: No  
Define a string which separates body/extended parts:
Define a string which indicates the text to capture: 
 Publish  
Comments & trackbacks to this entry requires moderation: No  
Allow comments to this entry: Yes  
Delete flag: Yes 
APOP flag: No  
POP3 port: 110    
Timeout:30    


Then I try the link:
http://159.23.98.66/serendipity/index.php?/plugin/popfetcher/

but nothing is executed, the page is white

and the mail remains into webmaster box.

If I get the messages with the Thunderbird mail client, the mails arrives at the Thunderbird without problem, so, the problem is that serendipity doesn't give the mails.....

Anyone could help me? something is wrong in my configuration? Do I need to check anything?

I would be very gratefully if you could help me!!
Thanks a lot and best regards,

Maria

Thanks a lot garvinhicking.
Whant do you refer when saying: "Does URL rewriting generally work on your
blog?"

When I submitt a post by email with an attach file in my blog, the entry

prova attach doc Posted by webmaster at 00:24

prova attach doc
doc 



The link prova attach doc redirect me to the:
http://159.23.98.66/serendipity/archives/15-prova-attach-doc.html

but in that directory archives there is no file.

You ask me about
http://159.23.98.66/serendipity/index.php?/archives/15-prova-attach-doc.html,
this link works, but not for seeing the file attached, it redirects to me
at the entry "prova attach doc", but the file attached is not there....

I think that this issue is concerning that serendipity doesn't work the
files that I send attached by email....

Is there any way to try it, something to log, etc.....

Have a nice day,
Maria

Hi!

I mean with URL rewriting, when you call your blog
http://yourblog/feeds/index.rss2 does that work? Or does only
http://yourblog/index.php?/feeds/index.rss2 produce the desired URL?

Is there a chance to see your blog online in the internet?

Maybe you can just enter Serendipity configuration and there set "URL
Rewriting" to "NONE".

If via FTP you check your "uploads" directory, is the attached file in
there?

If possible, can you send me the email that you send via POPfetcher to
your blog? With that mail I could try to reproduce the issue. Send the
mail to "garvin at s9y.org"

Hi!

Sadly the URL you gave here does not work for me, so I'm in the dark on
that issue. Does URL rewriting generally work on your blog?

Does the link
http://159.23.98.66/serendipity/index.php?/archives/15-prova-attach-doc.html
work in your blog?

Regards,
Garvin

I finally solved the problem changing the following:

Upload Directory : mailattach/
Blog flag: Yes
Use plaintext attachments as entry body? No 
First text attachment is entry body: Yes 
Strip advertisements? No 
Strip HTML Tags from message: Yes

But now I've a problem with the attachments sendend via email.....
if I try with a txt file, it is posted as the body of the text in the
blog, it's ok, but if I try with a doc file, it's created a link: 
http://159.23.98.66/serendipity/archives/15-prova-attach-doc.html

but this file doesn't exists!!

Do I need to change some configuration options?

Look at this:

Permalink Entry URL structure:    archives/%id%-%title%.html
Permalink Author URL structure:    authors/%id%-%realname%
Permalink Category URL structure:  categories/%id%-%name%
Permalink RSS-Feed Category URL structure:
feeds/categories/%id%-%name%.rss    
Permalink RSS-Feed Author URL structure:
feeds/authors/%id%-%realname%.rss
Path to archives 
   
Path to archive 
   
Path to categories 
   
Path to authors 
   
Path to unsubscribe comments 
   
Path to delete comments 
   
Path to approve comments 
   
Path to RSS Feeds

Hi!

Did you try to use
http://159.23.98.66/serendipity/index.php?/plugin/popfetcher instead of
http://159.23.98.66/serendipity/index.php?/plugin/popfetcher/ ?

The ending slash is not configured in your external launch name, so it
might not "catch up".

Regards,
Garvin
