[Inprotect-users] PDFMail - attachments are delivered blank / empty

[Isac Balder <piis8@ya...>]

Upon creating a new user the admin.php sends an email to that user with a predefined ppt, SOCSCAN_Training.ppt.
While this file did not exist on my build, when I upload a custom doc and change the name accordingly the document is delivered to the user with no data.  Have tried several formats, ppt, pdf, txt, and the user always gets an empty file.

I'm not familiar with the PDFMail functionality and not even sure what would be causing this.Is this a known issue?Or did I miss something in my config?
Thanks
I.B.

Kenneth,

Thanks, I stumbled upon that same post this morning.

The my.cnf is pointing to the correct location.
Attempts to force the location via adodb in config.php failed.

Everything else I found was pointing to the use of a symlink.
While I don't exactly like it,  the symlink got things working.

ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

FYI, This is on a RHEL5 box, did not have to do this on my test box which is Fedora 12.
I should really test and run on the same platform ; )

Thanks again.

I.B.

It appears to be a problem with the install location of the mysql database and 
where the system is trying to find the /mysql.sock fille

In my one install version I allowed it to be specified as I had to install 
mysql /var/lib/mysql to a non-standar location as my ./var partition was not 
big enough.

check the following article may help

http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/762/solve-cant-connect-to-local-mysql-server-
through-socket-tmpmysqlsock/

review /etc/my.cnf to see where the socket is specified and see where it is 
really at.

also check the command line usage and test connectivity

mysql -u inprotect -p inprotect3
enter password
then at prompt
>

as a test

[Inprotect-users] SQL cannot connect

[Isac Balder <piis8@ya...>]

Installed 1.93 and when attempting to view the web interface getting a sql error.
mysql://inprotect:@localhost/inprotect3 failed to connectCan't connect 
to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

Any thoughts?
