We found that email replies were not being piped to OST when a customer replied. It resulted in an error found in the logs:

[01-Jun-2020 20:06:50 UTC] PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘//osta/php/functions.php’ (include_path=’./:/home/cpaneluser/mydomain.com/support/include/:/home/cpaneluser/mydomain.com/support/include/pear/’) in /home/cpaneluser/mydomain.com/support/main.inc.php on line 68

We the inspected main.inc.php and found your osta code.

We then removed the following from main.inc.php:

// osta
require_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . ROOT_PATH . "/osta/php/functions.php";
$custom = get_config() ;
ie_check($custom);
?>

Once we did, piping works just fine. The only difference is that our logo on the back-end now shows your logo and this cannot be changed, but the front-end looks and feels normal.

Actually, I found that this caused another issue. I’ll list them as I find them:

• our logo on the back-end now shows your logo and this cannot be changed, but the front-end looks and feels normal.
• Upon opening a ticket, the loading rainbow circle never stops spinning which makes us have to go back to the previous page. However, the ticket is generated and emails are sent with no problems.

1. our logo on the back-end now shows your logo and this cannot be changed, but the front-end looks and feels normal.
2. Upon opening a ticket, the loading rainbow circle never stops spinning which makes us have to go back to the previous page. However, the ticket is generated and emails are sent with no problems.
3. Front-end ticket creating fails. When submitting, the loading circle spins for just a moment, then the entire page is reloads without ever creating a ticket.

Update: I’ve re-installed the prior version of the OSTA and that fixed all of my problems. I’ll stop here until I see a fix or update. Thanks.

Sorry for your trouble, and thank you for taking the time to report this. We’ll look into it and have a fix soon.

Hi @GDTech,

FYI I sent you an email just now with a potential fix. Fingers crossed.

[stevland]

Long story short, I’m not sure if you’ve received my email. Please let me know.

If anyone else runs into this issue, please edit main.inc.php line 68 from

require_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . ROOT_PATH . "/osta/php/functions.php";

to

require_once "osta/php/functions.php";

After doing that please try uploading a new company logo. If that works for you I reckon that email piping will, too. Please let me know asap so that I can include this fix in the next release.

[stevland]

I haven’t heard back from you. I’ve gone ahead and included this fix in the latest release, which is available now on the Downloads page. I am confident that it will resolve this issue.

I will mark this as resolved for now, but please don’t hesitate to post an update at any time.
