Hi Robert, > I am running WordPress 5.7 on a BO 5209R using FPM/FastCGI and get error > "Call to undefined function PHPMailer" when using the PHP 8.0.1 package > from the BO store. Using 7.4.x works fine.
I just checked what Pear modules the PHP-7.4 and PHP-8.0 have installed: [root@5209r bin]# /home/solarspeed/php-7.4/bin/pear list Installed packages, channel pear.php.net: ========================================= Package Version State Archive_Tar 1.4.9 stable Console_Getopt 1.4.3 stable Mail_Mime 1.10.10 stable Net_IDNA2 0.1.1 beta Net_Sieve 1.4.4 stable Net_Socket 1.2.2 stable PEAR 1.10.12 stable Structures_Graph 1.1.1 stable XML_Util 1.4.5 stable [root@5209r bin]# /home/solarspeed/php-8.0/bin/pear list Installed packages, channel pear.php.net: ========================================= Package Version State Archive_Tar 1.4.9 stable Console_Getopt 1.4.3 stable Mail_Mime 1.10.10 stable Net_IDNA2 0.1.1 beta Net_Sieve 1.4.4 stable Net_Socket 1.2.2 stable PEAR 1.10.12 stable Structures_Graph 1.1.1 stable XML_Util 1.4.5 stable This looks pretty much the same, so this isn't the problem. > AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: > Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function > PHPMailer\\PHPMailer\\escapeshellcmd() in > /home/.sites/70/site4/web/wp-includes/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php:1779\n I checked Wordpress 5.7 and examined line 1779 in the included /web/wp-includes/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php. And it's nothing special, really. The just run PHP's function escapeshellcmd() on a string. I then did some testing and created a minimalistic test script: <? print_r(escapeshellcmd("ls -als")); ?> That should simply print "ls -als" on execution, provided escapeshellcmd() is available and works. I then tried it on a Vsite with PHP-FPM 8.0.3 and it threw the same error: "Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function escapeshellcmd()" I then switched the Vsite from PHP-FPM (8.0.3) to suPHP (8.0.3) and it worked. I checked the PHP configuration of that Vsite and so far nothing really sticks out that could explain it. But there sure is something wrong with PHP-FPM and escapeshellcmd(). I'll need more time to figure this out. In the meantime, please use PHP-7.4 or switch to suPHP. Sorry. -- With best regards Michael Stauber _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
