email do not show up in the otrs system

hi all, I was very happy to find this great ticket request system. I installed the RPM for SuSE linux 7.3 (otrs-7.3-0.5-BETA7.i386.rpm) with YAST. After having installed a few missing perl mods the index.pl turned out to work fine. But when sending mails to the system they don´t show up in the otrs system, although I can see the mails in opt/OpenTRS/var/spool. when I looked at the error log of the httpd it says the following: index.pl: Use of uninitialized value in string ne at /opt/OpenTRS/bin/cgi-bin/../../Kernel/Output/HTML/Generic.pm line 252, <TEMPLATEIN> line 42. please help bert preiss ps. the generic.pm is attached

Ok. This looks fine. There a more possibilities. At first, check if the PostMaser.pl is working correctly! Pipe an email through: shell:~ # cat /usr/share/doc/packages/otrs/test-email-1.box | /opt/OpenTRS/bin/PostMaster.pl Is this email shown?

This is a little mistake in Generic.pm (frontend). But not important for the functionality.

Hi Martin,
thanks for your answer.
I checked the Postmaster.pl, piping an email through and there was an error
message:
"Can´t locate object method "new" via package "MIME::Parser" (perhaps you
forgot to load
"MIME::Parser"?) at /opt/OpenTRS/bin/..//Kernel/System/EmailParser.pm line
107, <STDIN> line 30."
and the email did not show up in the system.
I guess that´s a perl problem, and since I´m not a perl expert yet, could
you please help.
thank you very much
nice day:-)

Exact! :) MIME::Parser is a perl module fom CPAN. OTRS is using this kind of modules for the email parsing. Install perl-MIME-Base64, perl-MailTools, perl-MIME-Lite and perl-MIME-tools RPMs packages from your distribution (serie perl) and the PostMaster.pl should work.
thank you very much nice day:-)
You too. :)
