Email Reports WebGUI crashes when trying to edit the reports

[marcosm]

Thanks for the report. For future reference, this can go into the dev category as well (and/or report it on redmine).

A fix is available here:

@marcosm

Ok cool. Thank you for the update.

@marcosm - Thanks for the link. However, I have a similar issue and I am starting here. I have a 2100 with v23.3. I configured the SMTP settings correctly and then installed the EmailReport package. After the install, I got an error.

Then I tried creating a report and it saved 5 reports that were all empty. I then rebooted and it came back online, but in a recovered state.

I was able to get back in a couple days later, luckily some of the settings were intack. I restored from a backup and then updated to 24.11-Release. I installed the mailreport package and it was successful. I also installed the system patches also and now it will not create a new report. It is blank. Here is the error:

Dec 10 07:20:32 php-fpm 638 /status_mail_report_edit.php: config warning: invalid path "mailreports/schedule//" at /usr/local/www/status_mail_report_edit.php:210

I am getting familiar with this process and will look into redmine also.

Thanks

@crisbackshop The patch is meant for 24.11.

Dec 10 07:20:32 php-fpm 638 /status_mail_report_edit.php: config warning: invalid path "mailreports/schedule//" at /usr/local/www/status_mail_report_edit.php:210

That error indicates the patch hasn't been applied.

@marcosm I am using the latest version of System Patches of 2.2.19. I've been checking and so far haven't seen any new patches. I am still getting that WebGUI error.

[marcosm]

@Darkk You'll need to add and apply the diff yourself - it's not included.

[crisbackshop]

@marcosm - Thank you! Worked like a charm and able to configure the reports that are emailed.

Thanks again!

I have a similar but slightly different error. Would the same fix work for this? Thanks!

[marcosm]

@ex1580 Yes.

[ex1580]

@marcosm I applied the patch successfully and everything looks good. Thanks!

@marcosm said in Email Reports WebGUI crashes when trying to edit the reports:

I've applied the patch and it's working perfectly now.

Thank you!
