webmail hangs on attachments

[tomitorm]

I'm having a problem with webmail (squirrel + horde). Both just hangs when i try send mail with attachment. Problems started when i converted mbox to maildir. Cant get much of errors out of it, cpanel error log, maillog, exim_main dont show any errors. It just hangs and wont timeout. I have tried upgrading to latest stable and release. did run fullhordereset but still same.

what value is setup in the php.ini file, max_file_upload size limit ?

Remember that it's the php.ini for cpservd, not the php.ini for Apache that you need to be concerned about when it comes to webmail.

The php.ini for cpservd is stored in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini

 

[cPanelDavidG]

upload_max_filesize = 50M

Those are all cpanel defaults.

The WHM interface controls the php.ini for Apache, not for cpservd which handles webmail, cPanel and WHM .

upload_max_filesize = 50M

Those are all cpanel defaults.

 

[cpane1]

well those are not....

the default value is 2MB....

is your attachment file above 50 MB ?

if so increase the value of the upload_max_filesize = as per your requirement...
(it is always recommended not to increased this value above 10MB)

if you increase this value then also increase the value for the memory limit in the php.ini file..



see if that helps...

 

[tomitorm]

Yes /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini is default. limit there is that 50M.

 

[tomitorm]

it hangs on all attachments. I have tried from 1kb to few M but all the same. Without attachments emails are send ok.

 

[cpane1]

if you increase this value then also increase the value for the memory limit in the php.ini file..
Please notice that memory_limit should be four times more than
upload_max_filesize

I have increased both.. This happens on small attachments too not just big ones. hmm now i got timeout answer from IMAP server. Query: LOGOUT. Using squirrel now. Could it be that IMAP server somehow hangs on attachments? Where can i get some debug out there?

hummmm......

I guess the guru "cPanelDavidG" can flash some light on this...

I know myself sometimes sending large attachments (~1MB) can lag, but that's mostly because of the data transfer involved. It can take sometimes 2 minutes to send a megabyte of email. However, if you are on a good connection and things are checking out alright and you're hanging for 5-10 minutes getting nowhere, perhaps you may want to submit a ticket with your licensing provider and have someone look at it.

EDIT: Note that by default PHP will timeout after 5 minutes, but generally it displays a timeout errror.

Think its some IMAP related problem.. When i try to open an old attachment from webmail i get this error

ERROR: Unknown IMAP response.
Query: FETCH 2 BODY[2]
Server responded:

I am seeing this issue.

When I open a .doc, it just shows this:

ERROR:
ERROR: Unknown IMAP response.
Query: FETCH 2 BODY[2]
Server responded:


Same for either open directly or save to file and then opening. File is only 150KB.

Anyone can help?
