Ich hatte für den Faxversand und Push Service der FritzBox bisher das T-Online-E-Mailkonto eingetragen als Absender. Diese Einstellungen funktionierten allerdings plötzlich nicht mehr. In der FritzBox konnte man unter "System" > "Push Service" > (Haken bei "Test E-Mail") "Übernehmen" sehen, dass keine E-Mail versendet werden kann.

Es haben sich anscheinend zwei Dinge verändert: Man kann E-Mails nur noch verschlüsselt verschicken, wozu eine Änderung des SMTP-Servers und des Ports nötig ist. Zudem wird dann zwingend ein Passwort benötigt, welches nicht einem bereits existierenden Standard-T-Onlinepasswort entspricht (trotzdem man sich mit diesem wiederum im Webmailer einloggen kann... ).

Kochrezept:
1. Separates neues E-Mailpasswort anlegen unter https://kundencenter.telekom.de/kundencenter/kundendaten/passwoerter/email-passwort-einrichten.html.
2. In der Fritzbox unter "System" > "Push Service" folgendes eintragen:

• E-Mailadresse: eigene adresse @t-online.de
• Kennwort: Das soeben neu vergebene Passwort
• Unter "Kontodaten - weitere Einstellungen":
• E-Mail-Benutzername: eigene adresse @t-online.de
• SMTP-Server: securesmtp.t-online.de
• Port: 465
• Haken machen bei "Dieser Server unterstützt eine sichere Verbindung

After migrating an extension of the dd_googlesitemap from T3 4.5 to 6.2, I noticed a very strange behavior which occurred after every cache clear in the install tool. Every call of index.php?eID=dd_googlesitemap or a custom sitemap index.php?eID=dd_googlesitemap&sitemap=customsitemap resulted in the following error:

#1: PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [...]/typo3_src-6.2.3/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Utility/RootlineUtility.php line 269


The error is misleading, because it seems to have nothing to do with the skipRootlineCheck option the extension provides. The error simply disappears when accessing the frontpage after the cache clear, just before accessing the sitemap.

I was about to check out a remote repository when I got the following error:

git clone https://xyz git-repo/
Cloning into 'git-repo'...

In this case, it was due to a missing master branch. I needed to add a branch name to the checkout command with -b and the checkout worked as expected.

In our standard webserver configuration, we use Apache + PHP-FPM on Ubuntu. Apache runs with a different user and a different group than PHP. This implies that all files that are to be readable by Apache need to be world-readable. PHP creates files that are not world-readable by default.

I intended to set the creation mask within php.ini or better on a per-pool basis. Sadly, both seems not to be possible.

I finally managed to change this behavior by changing umask in the start script /etc/init.d/php5-fpm from 0007 to 0000.

In our new web server config, there is a separate admin user and webserver user, which share the same group. Whenever a file or directory is to be writable by the web server, it has to be writable by the group. This does not work with Drupal: It only checks for the user, so the hosting directory and all hosting files need to belong to the user which runs the corresponding PHP instance.
Furthermore, we use a chroot for PHP with a local tmp directory. If the installation is moved from another server, this needs to be configured within Drupal as well. The temp folder can be changed within /admin/config/media/file-system.
