Topic: webmail attacment problem - missing conf-php

[thomas_chan]

Dear all,

I did the following commands before at SME 6.0 server to increase the attachment size in webmail, however, it didn't work atbin SME 7.0 final version since the event script cannot be found :-

   /sbin/e-smith/config setprop php MaxExecutionTime 1800
   /sbin/e-smith/config setprop php MemoryLimit 100000000
   /sbin/e-smith/config setprop php PostMaxSize 20000000
   /sbin/e-smith/config setprop php UploadMaxFileSize 20000000
   
   /etc/e-smith/events/actions/conf-php   <-------Missing in SME 7

   /etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith graceful

Did anyone can advise me how to solve this problem ?

Moving this topic to the SME Server 7.x forum, it is more appropriate there. Thanks!

Also take a look at this thread...

Dear Byte,

Thanks for your advise. The attachment files size can send right now as per my following config settings if sent from the multiple files attachment. However, if one file attachment size is larger than 12MB, it still come out the 'page not found' error. I have been double check the PostMaxSize parameter and does anyone can advise any hints to cause this problem ?




config setprop php MemoryLimit nnnn
config setprop php PostMaxSize mmmm
config setprop php UploadMaxFilesize pppp
expand-template /etc/php.ini
/etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith restart

You can type the following command to show the PHP settings : (Any typing mistake)

config show php
php=service
AllowUrlFopen=Off
MaxExecutionTime=18000
MemoryLimit=1000000000
PostMaxSize=250000000
UploadMaxFilesize=250000000
status=enabled

another question about this:

when typing that command can you tell me what this means

 AllowUrlFopen=Off

I can't seem to attach mail larger then about 9MB for some reason

I've got my setting as such:

# config setprop php MemoryLimit 128M
# config setprop php PostMaxSize 256M
# config setprop php UploadMaxFilesize 256M
# config setprop php MaxExecutionTime 600
# expand-template /etc/php.ini
# /etc/rc7.d/S86httpd-e-smith restar

and this seems to have worked great for my joomla media uploading sizes etc.

But for the mail I've read this statement:

config delprop qmail MaxMessageSize 64000000
signal-event email-update

Can't I just use 64MB as with the other commands ?
I just want to know how to increase the attachement size of the webmail

I've read all thru the wiki and forums, and found information and applied it but still can't send email attachements larger then about 9MB or less

Please advise
Thanks

If you tell people what happens when you try, they might be able to diagnose what is causing you a problem.

[Agent86]

Thanks for the reply

Well, when trying to attach a file lets say example a .ogg file of about 50MB or so, or perhaps a .zip file, and I tried it on down to about 9MB or under and 9MB seems ok to send, but no more then that.
Also combinations of several image files that total 9MB or so gives me the same results

I get this popup window regarding compose.php etc. see screenshot below

www.iclbiz.com/screen/1a.png



See the attachment section shows I can attach a max file size of 268,435,456 bytes which should be good

See my other screen shot of this section below



I thought I had this figured out and was actually sending large files from work without problem, but now I'm on the local network and noticed this problem when trying to send images to UPS for showing damaged package item for a damage claim.

I don't work at that place anymore so I've not tried to send anything using webmail from outside of the local network for over a year now, but never had any reason to think that I could not send large mail up until now.

that is one of the things I really need the webmail to do is send large file. not necessarily 256MB but I think that is just a side effect of my setting for joomla requirements for my daily video section etc. But in anycase basically this is my symptom and I cannot send large files or an accumulation of files larger then around 9MB I'm not sure the actual file size limit but approx. 9MB is what I believe.

I also get a fetch mail size limit

see here:



Any help would be great.
Thanks for your responses.

[Agent86]

I am recieve the message from time to time also:

The message "Onebox - greetings template" from "Tina-Marie Julio <Tina.Julio@j2global.com>" (6939653 bytes) exceeds fetch size limit.

Looks like it's under 7MB why is my webmail having file size limitations, I have made adjustments to anything I could find regarding email size limits, and it appears no effect. even though during webmail sending it says i can send up to 256MB file sizes, but anything over like 7 MB gets rejected.

I just can't seem to figure this out. perhaps and upgrade may help.

You've been told many times to report anything which doesn't work correctly via the Bug Tracker. Please do so.

To add to this are you sending to another ISP do you have your own domain name if it is going to a normal ISP there is a 2 meg limit well in australia there is telstra optus AAPT etc all have a 2 meg limit on email attachments
also sending big email attachments is rather slow any way why don't you use FTP i would never send a 50 meg file via email it would take a long time to download
just my 2 cents

Hi, thanks for the response.
I have my own domain, and pretty much whoever I send to, appears to be limited to someplace in the 7mb range either one file or a comibanation of files totalling 7mb+
Not that I need to send large files all the time but on occasion when filing damage claims for ups etc. I send them photos and basically I have to send them individual emails because each photo may be 1.5mb and so I can only send like 3 photos at a time. And this makes it a real pain to file my damage claims.
I could use ftp and I do most of the time, however ups want an email not ftp so I am required to send them a zillion emails at this point.
I'm just trying to trim down some time consuming tasks.
Thanks for the help. I believe I need to update, and perhaps this will be solved.

[zatnikatel]

you should be able to change the size if you edit php.ini and change max file size i think but as you are useing sme you will have to use the cutom templates by default i think php had a limit of 8 meg from memory i run both sme and centos 5 to use sugar crm 5 i had to change the php.ini file

File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
;upload_tmp_dir =

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 64M change this to say 32 or 64 meg i used 64 meg for sugar crm on centos 5 as sme server only has php4 and i needed php5 so i had to use centos 5

Many settings are now made using the db command rather than custom templates.
See
http://wiki.contribs.org/DB_Variables_Configuration

This document is not complete, so there are more commands/properties/variables than those listed.

[zatnikatel]

I am a old school that is why i would do it that way it would be faster your way as it takes longer with the custom templates that is how i have done it for a while started with the old e-smith version 4 how been using sme server for a long time as well as using centos as sme can not do some things that centos can i like postfix better than qmail i hope version 8 of sme server uses postfix rather than qmail as it is old and there has not been any updates to it for a long time the dev team have done real well with qmail and i use sme a lot and i have made my customers donate to SME as well as i have done it is the best for what it does nothing else can beat it but it would be good if they would change the MTA on it

The dev team made a lot of effort to incorporate many more db settings into sme7.x than were in prior versions, instead of having to use custom templates as in previous versions.

This command will indicate to you a lot of the settings that have actual db values, but keep in mind there are more that have default values which do not show up this way. You will need to examine the code in the existing template fragments to see if there are db properties and default values for them.
 
config show
or
config show |more

They also make a lot of effort to fix things which don't work. The problem which initiated this thread still hasn't been reported via the Bug Tracker.

Up the attachment size ... but I would also use this little prog called Jpegopt and shrink the picture sizes to a fraction of it's size and not loose clarity ... we use it a lot for the same reason and our 10 meg limit is fine. like some one else mentioned lager files take ages to go out and can potentially clog up the mail system especially if others find that they are able to send out large files.

With the Jpegopt I usually shrink the pic down to 20%-25% of it's original file size and all is fine clarity wise .. so a 1.5 meg file can end up approx 300-375kb in size this way you can send out approx 20-30 pics or maybe more without problems.

Regards,

Tib

Thanks, all I will open a bug ticket, and also plan on updating the system, really only want one account to be able to send a large file, because I only need to do this about once a month or so.
Anyhow thanks again for all the help.
