Hosting provider does not support PEAR modules or the set_include_path command.

Apparently your Apache configuration is not letting PHP scripts change the include_path.

Possible fixes:

• Edit your php.ini file and remove set_include_path from the disable_functions directive.

• Manually add /var/www/mysite/sites/MYSITE/files/PEAR to your include_path, where /var/www/mysite/sites/MYSITE/ is the path to your site settings directory. You should able to do this in your .htaccess file, using the php_value directive.

• Manually install Mail_Mime and its prerequisites. (This requires command-line root access).

  pear install --onlyreqdeps Mail_Mime Mail_mimeDecode PEAR
  

• Ask me nicely and I might package up a customized version of the PEAR libraries. I wouldn't be able to host it on drupal.org, though.

The 6.x-1.3/7.x-1.3 release now provides better error logic in hook_requirements(), and will warn if a file was downloaded but could not be read because the set_include_path() function is disabled.

Version bump. 6.x-1.3 had a syntax error, sigh.

I dont have php.ini in my site.
How to remove set_include_path from the disable_functions directive?
How then i can use this module with HTML Mail?

@jddell -- dunno; I suggested four ways to solve the problem. If you don't know how to do any of the four, then ask your hosting provider. That's why you pay them money -- so they will support you. Also see #1119088: Make dependencies optional

Hi I need to use this module, but it is changing the site's include_path to the files directory thus breaking all other includes. I read your four recommendations, but what I would need is for this module not change the include_path. Is there anything else I can do besides your recommendations above?

Thanks

1. PEAR modules won't work if they're not on the include_path. If you already have the requisite modules installed and they're already on the path, then you may simply delete both the mailmime.install and mailmime.module files.
2. Adding a new directory to the include_path shouldn't be "breaking all other includes." If it is, then something is very wrong with your configuration, and you should contact your hosting provider to get it fixed.

Thanks so much for your reply. Our php.ini is set to: .: I don’t know why that could be wrong, but this module is changing the site’s local include_path to: files/PEAR:.:
My whereis pear result is: /usr/share/pear
So what might work for us could be to disable the include function or change its path to /usr/share/pear I appreciate your help.

I also deleted the mailmine.install and mail.module, but this disabled the HTML module

Recreate mailmime.module as an empty file.

I did recreate mailmime.module as an empty file, but the the whole site goes white and I can get this error:

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Mail/mime.php' (include_path='.:') in /sites/default/modules/mailmime/mailmime.inc on line 24

thanks

Then you don't have the required PEAR module installed. Either install it or ask your hosting provider to do so.

Since pear was installed and working, I ran: pear install Mail_Mime to install Mail_Mime and it is now working with an empty mailmime.module file

Thanks for your help!

I will try to code the "Mail Mime" module so that it properly detects this kind of situation, disables itself, and displays a message instructing the user to manually install the pear package.

My hosting provider dont understand what you are write

In reply to #18, I think this will make things a lot easier. Thanks very much for the time and effort to get this working.

Writing (yet another!) module to handle this. It will most likely become a dependency of the next version of Mail MIME, which will in turn become much smaller.

EDIT: The new module will be called Include.

I cant work html mail with Mail MIME there is not a guide to put pear in my site.
I have apatch php php my admin.
I want to use this module but there is not a guide how i can but pear in my site and what to i have to enter in pear

Make the effort to but same guides

Fixed in the 7.x-2.0 release. Will roll a 6.x-2.0 release shortly.

Release 6.x-2.0 version which should fix this problem nicely. Anyone care to test?

Extensively tested and fixed all errors I can find. The 2.x branch is now default, recommended, and supported. Let the complaining begin!

Okay, 6.x-2.3 and 7.x-2.x no longer have a hard dependency on the Include module.

The new startup code looks something like this:

1. If everything loaded okay the last time, SUCCESS.
2. Try to load the required files. If all the classes are present, SUCCESS.
3. If Include is enabled, and it can auto-download the dependencies, SUCCESS.
4. Otherwise:
   • Disable Mail MIME
   • Write a big fat warning to both screen and watchdog
   • FAILURE

Manually add /var/www/mysite/sites/MYSITE/files/PEAR to your include_path, where /var/www/mysite/sites/MYSITE/ is the path to your site settings directory. You should able to do this in your .htaccess file, using the php_value directive.

Don't have access to any other solution - please could you elaborate how to do this? What exacly to add to .htaccess?
