is this compiled ‘–without-pear’ causing the problem I am having ?
No. That’s because pear has become a separate package, and isn’t built along-side PHP. This is normal and expected and has nothing to do with SELinux issues.
ok, thanks. so I guess I need to enable it in this case and set this up.
I’m learning.
all this just for Mail-Mime, must be a better way ;o)
have not done this yet.
when looking into enabling it gave me a warning and I had to reboot server.
I think i need to do this on a (local) test server first before attempting this.
having a local testserver is good policy though not waterproof (I learned the hard way)
I just don’t understand why requiring a class Mail_mime is all this difficult. I must be missing something :o)
I’m currently going to try and create a script myself, it just needs the mime stuff in the right place (have basic html working but not an image or attachment), then I’ll try and get the class sorted.
I don’t understand what is difficult. What problem are you having? I thought you’d gotten it installed successfully earlier?
yep, what you did got mail_mime installed eaily :o)
however, when you try and call the script you get these selinux security errors, so that needs to be enabled somehow. I was concerned when I tried to set up that I might do something to prevent access to my server, and so I think I need to try this on a local server, which I hope to do this week sometime.
my comment was directed at mail_mime, in that why does it not just install some scripts onto the server instead of having so many other things needing set up
As Eric and I mentioned earlier…just disabling SELinux is probably the simplest solution. We disable it by default when you install Virtualmin with install.sh.
You can do that with:
setenforce 0
It can be quite challenging to get a policy that works smoothly in a virtual hosting environment. The existing policies just don’t really fit very comfortably into a multi-user hosting environment.
ok, I mis-undertsood.
I thought when you said that you had disabled it then I had to enable it.
I have done ‘setenforce 0’
error appears to have gone now, but a class error now occurs.

I did notice that after installing the class then that there was no file ("Mail.php") as used by the example from PEAR.
<?
include(‘Mail.php’);
include(‘Mail/mime.php’);
I see the ‘mime.php’ file loaded in the pear folder, but no Mail.php.
Mime_Mail doesn’t provide Mail.php, and isn’t supposed to. I see Mail.php in the php-pear-Mail package. So install that, and this error will go away.
Oh, and I’m talking about an RPM, so you can install it with yum:
yum install php-pear-Mail
Joe, thanks once again, for your invaluable help.
anyway, as I said earlier sending mail should be easy :o)
and I have found out why I was having a problem before.
I could not get images to work in html emails (just manually building a message and headers for use in ‘mail’, hence why I wanted to use Pear package mail_mime)
I went back last night to first principles and used my new server for the test. and mysteriously the html emails worked fine. wow !
what I did find is that when I tried to use images on www.happygolf.co.uk they did not work in the email, very strange indeed. I thought it was maybe something to do with leech settings, but don’t think so. so now I can get on with this customer and finish setting up wonderfull looking emails ;o)
should I just do a "rpm -U" on this package ?
I notice reference to modifying in yum.repos.d and a section [vmbleed] but I think I should just install the package by itself.
mail_mime isn’t working, not sure how to solve this problem (yet)
