Mail Driver error after update to beta 10

iPurpl3x

I have made an update to beta 10 on one of my instances, and after that I had a strange problem : I could not make any posts whatsoever.
After debugging, I found out that it was related to wrong E-mail settings. On the admin page I could not even open the Email settings panel, there was a JavaScript error. So I went to look into the MYSQL database directly and I saw that the value of settings.mail_driver was "SMTP". I changed it to "smtp" and all problems where solved.

On beta 8 "SMTP" was not a problem but I think the update didn't take care of changing this while migrating the database...

iPurpl3x Hi - do you have access to your database from phpMyAdmin or similar ? If you open the settings table, and search for "SMTP", this value should be changed to "smtp".

Indeed. We did not automate the casting of that setting when updating b8->b9.

The issue has popped up only a few times and we gave manual instructions to update it in the database each time.

If I remember correctly the reason it has to be lowercase is because it now matches a registration in the container, whereas it was previously directly used in the constructor of the mail library which was more permissive.

clarkwinkelmann Alright so there is only a manual fix for this, thank you for responding.
