Hi all:

We've switched to RC Mail some weeks ago, and our clients are very pleased. But I've hit a wall getting the vacation plugin to work. Here are the details (somewhat long, sorry...)

I have the config.ini setup as follows:

[default] driver = "ftp" subject = "Out of Office" body = "default.txt" server = "mail.arava.co.il" passive = True

[dotforward] binary = "/usr/bin/vacation" flags = "" message = ".vacation.msg" database = ".vacation.db" alias_identities = true set_envelop_sender = false always_keep_message = true

If I connect to the mail server with a regular ftp client, I can successfully upload a .forward file, with either passive or active ftp, using either binary or ascii transfer. So the vsftpd daemon is working OK. However when a user tries to use the vacation plugin interface, she gets:

CONFIGURATION ERROR

Vacation plugin: Cannot upload .forward. Check permissions and/or server configuration Please read the INSTALL instructions!

In the roundcubemail errors logfile I see:

[19-Nov-2013 20:48:41 +0200]: PHP Error: Vacation plugin: Cannot upload .forward. Check permissions and/or server configuration in /var/www/html/roundcubemail/plugins/vacation/lib/ftp.class.php on line 0 (POST /?_task=settings&_action=plugin.vacation-save?_task=&_action=)

and the exchange in the vsftpd log file shows:

It seems that the file upload is aborting as soon as it switches to ASCII mode (even though I tried to specify passive = True in config.ini). However, as I said, uploading with a regular ftp client works as expected, in either mode.

Any ideas are most welcome.

Thanks, Micha

I'm baffled by this, Micha. Your config is virtually identical to mine. I changed log mode to vsftp, mine just walks right through the process, never tries ASCII as far as I can see.

I think my next step would be try a manual FTP transaction from the command line of the RC server, if possible.

I can't imagine what I'm missing.

Hmm, are you running roundcube on the same host? I noticed you FTP'd to localhost?

That might change how I approach troubleshooting this. My Roundcube is on a server separate from the IMAP server.
