OpenEMM-19.04.000.459.ova | VirtualBox | Sends Admin emails but not Mailings

[rmahoney]

I've been happily using 2015-R2 on Windows 10 for a good while.

I've just set up the OpenEMM 2019 appliance using VirtualBox on a Gentoo host.
(And thanks very much for providing the image, by the way, its great.) The trouble
is that while I can send admin test and log mails, the mailings won't send. And
there is no sign that they have actually reached Postfix (tail /var/log/maillog). Still,
this other log *-openemm-mailoutclient.log in this directory /home/openemm/var/log
has this, at about the time the mailing is executed:

[28.08.2019 09:36:59] INFO/invoke: Connecting to localhost
[28.08.2019 09:36:59] ERROR/invoke: MailoutClient exception: Failed to connect to localhost:8089: Connection refused (Connection refused)
[28.08.2019 09:36:59] INFO/invoke: Message: blank

Possibly unrelated, but something I've noticed too, is that the following isn't created
at startup :

/home/openemm/var/run/bav.sock


I'd be grateful for any suggestions.


Best, Richard

Hi Richard,
it looks to me that the backend part of the OpenEMM application is not started.
Please try the following and start it if needed.

Code: Select all

su - openemm
bin/backend.sh status
# If status is stopped
bin/backend.sh start

Can you also please tell me how you started OpenMM?

Best regards,
Marcel

Thank you very much Marcel. That did it. I can now send mailings and will
start testing things properly.

I started OpenEMM with "7 Restart" in the OpenEMMInstaller. It seems this
didn't start the backend services. Once I executed ./backend.sh start all the
services began "running".

Best, Richard

Great to hear it worked!
This seems to be a bug then. I already created an issue for this and it should be fixed with the next releases.

Best regards,
Marcel

Sounds good
