8.7.80 - missing php-files in php MAPI deb package [Ubuntu 16.04]

deHoeninger

Hi all,

I noticed, that the z-push gab sync script wasn’t working any longer. This is caused by missing php files in /usr/share/kopano/php/mapi/, which were delivered with the php7-mapi package in the past. Last working version which includes the files is php7-mapi_8.7.80.27-0+22.1_amd64.deb on my system, at least since version core-8.7.80.138_0+39-Ubuntu_16.04-amd64, these php-files are missing in the package.

Is that a failure or do I need to install another package to fix the issue?

Hi @deHoeninger ,

yes, these files have been removed from the php-mapi package, since both z-push and webapp are maintaining own copies anyways and there are no php components anymore within “Kopano Core” that would require them.

I have checked this on a test system again, and here z-push-gabsync continues to work, though.

Hi @fbartels,

you are right, z-push has those files included in the kopano-backend path under /usr/share/z-push/backend/kopano/mapi/. So no need to ship them with the mapi package.

Nevertheless, I’m getting the following error, once I’m calling the gab-sync.php script.

Please verify the php-mapi configuration, as the php-mapi includes can not be found in the php include path. Aborting.

This is caused by the following code in /usr/share/z-push/tools/gab-sync/lib/kopano.php:

include_once('mapi/mapi.util.php');
include_once('mapi/mapidefs.php');
include_once('mapi/mapitags.php');
include_once('mapi/mapicode.php');
include_once('mapi/mapiguid.php');

To make a long story short, cause the kopano backend folder /usr/share/z-push/backend/kopano/mapi is not part of the include_paths, the script couldn’t find those files.

I’ve seen, that the gab2contacts.php script is dealing that issue with a

define('PATH_TO_ZPUSH', '../../src/');

in advance and calling the mapi files in lib/kopano.php with a

include_once(PATH_TO_ZPUSH .'backend/kopano/mapi/mapi.util.php');
include_once(PATH_TO_ZPUSH .'backend/kopano/mapi/mapidefs.php');
include_once(PATH_TO_ZPUSH .'backend/kopano/mapi/mapitags.php');
include_once(PATH_TO_ZPUSH .'backend/kopano/mapi/mapicode.php');
include_once(PATH_TO_ZPUSH .'backend/kopano/mapi/mapiguid.php');
include_once(PATH_TO_ZPUSH .'lib/utils/utils.php');

Might be a more fault-tolerant apprach for the gab-sync script as well.

What do you mean?

Ok, played a bit around.

In my case it’s sufficient to add the z-push root path to the include paths in the gab-sync.php

Adding a

define('PATH_TO_ZPUSH', '../../');

and changing the line

set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . BASE_PATH_CLI);

to

set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . BASE_PATH_CLI . PATH_SEPARATOR . BASE_PATH_CLI . PATH_TO_ZPUSH);

was enough. No need to change the lib/kopano.php at all.
