Great feature! I dislike using group permissions on web server users. I'll try this over the weekend too. -- Matt Kirk - mkirk@sonic.net Sonic.net, Inc. Business Development Manager 2260 Apollo Way 707.522.1000 x244 (Voice) Santa Rosa, CA 95407 707.547.2199 (Fax) http://www.sonic.net/

When agent compose 'empty answer' , Internal server error has occured. It seems permission error. But the answer was sent to customer without an error.

Below errors are in httpd/error.

Ja, it's a permission problem.

You have two possibilities to fix this.

a) File Permissions (check the following): - Is it possible to change the webserver user to otrs user? * If yes, fixed. - If not, add the otrs user to the webservers users group ("usermod -G <otrsusersgroup> otrs") - Execute "$OTRS_HOME/bin/SetPermissions.sh " * Everything should work fine.

b) Store the plain_article/attachments in database instead of filesystem We added this feature because many people have problems with the file permission if the webserver user isn't the otrs user. You need to update the following files from CVS:

Kernel/System/Ticket.pm Kernel/System/Ticket/Article.pm Kernel/System/Ticket/History.pm Kernel/System/PostMaster/LoopProtection.pm Kernel/System/PostMaster/LoopProtection/DB.pm Kernel/System/PostMaster/LoopProtection/FS.pm

Kernel/Modules/AgentZoom.pm Kernel/Modules/CustomerZoom.pm

scripts/DBUpdate.mysql.sql (or scripts/DBUpdate.postgresql.sql)

Update the database changes with "cat scripts/DBUpdate.mysql.sql | mysql -p -f -u root otrs"

And add [...] # Storage for plain email [fs|db] $Self->{ArticlePlainStorage} = 'db';

# Storage for attachments [fs|db] $Self->{ArticleAttachmentStorage} = 'db'; [...] to your Kernel/Config.pm

Restart your webserver and everything should work fine.

PS: You should also use "bin/SetPermissions.sh " anyway.
