Fatal PHP-Error in roundcube (missing Mail_mimePart)

We have a roundcube instance on our ubuntu server.

Since yesterday, we are not able to send emails anymore. After hitting the send-button in roundcube, the "Nachricht wird gesendet..."-Message (E-Mail is being sent) loads endlessly.

After searching the logs, I found the error message:

[30-Jun-2015 10:33:50 UTC] PHP Warning:  Missing argument 1 for Mail_mimePart::Mail_mimePart(), called in [***]/roundcube/vendor/pear/mail_mime/Mail/mime.php on line 1288 and defined in [***]/roundcube/vendor/pear/mail_mime-decode/Mail/mimePart.php on line 127
[30-Jun-2015 10:33:50 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method Mail_mimePart::encodeHeader() in [***]/roundcube/vendor/pear/mail_mime/Mail/mime.php on line 1289

It it still possible to sent E-Mails directly via SMTP / Dovecot, so everything should be fine on this side.

My first thought was to install the pear packages, but they seem to be correctly installed inside roundcube.

Stacktrace is:

Notes:

  • Server is up-to-date.
  • Composer was updated
Solution

  • I just completely reinstalled roudcube (User data was either in MySQL or Dovecot, so no data loss).

    It was a similar problem as @Alex Chorry already pointed out in the comments. It was caused by composer updating the mail_mime package while installing a plugin (in my case it was globaladdressbook, but I've seen this problem also on other plugin). Also reverting the php wasn't working, as it resulted in a plugin error.

    So to solve this problem, I completely ignored composer, and never installed it. I manually installed all the plugins as pointed out her on github:

    • Place this plugin folder into plugins directory of Roundcube
    • Add globaladdressbook to $config['plugins'] in your Roundcube config
