Yeah, I had just upgraded when new releases came out. I’m running 9.2.0 Stable on all 3 installs. Since I have to upgrade 3 installs I was waiting until it seemed like there was a good reason to upgrade. I will do so as soon as I can carve out the time (just returned from being out of the office for 3 weeks so I’m trying to get caught up) and send the steps and error log results.The biggest problem with sending the steps is that I can’t even recreate my own problems on the site running on a different server - ...Continue Reading

Mary, I'm not able to recreate your problems w/schedules not saving using the, "Save Schedule" button. Everything saves just fine. I'm wondering if you could try to list the steps used to recreate your problem, and do so in the simplest ways. That's pretty invaluable to me, when trying to work through a bug. Also, you may want to start first with just upgrading to the latest version. I can tell you're not up to date, as this error (or type of error) > [Fri Jul 22 12:20:01 2016] mail.cgi: (in cleanu ...Continue Reading

Now there is another problem with the scheduled mailings. When I am testing, I use PROOF (date of mailing) in the subject line, then I remove it when I activate the mailing. Dada is absolutely refusing to save the revised subject line. I delete PROOF from the subject line and either send a test or save the schedule. Both result in PROOF appended to the subject line both in the test message and the reloaded page. I’ve tried removing it manually and sending a test and saving a schedule. I’ve tried choosing “Use the ...Continue Reading

Thanks, Bruce. I remember that you were having problems with mailings not going out but didn’t mentally connect it to this issue. I might try moving the drafts to the same domain that Dada is installed on (both the draft and Dada are on the same server in my case, but different domains) and see if that makes a difference. Are you seeing that the schedule doesn’t save, or that the schedule saves but the mailing doesn’t go out? In my case the schedule will save if I hit Send Test instead of Save Schedule, so I’m doi ...Continue Reading

Okay, I thought it was the SSL because the non-SSL domain didn’t have that issue, but I tested it on a 3rd install that is non-SSL but the same host as the SSL and had the same problem, so it must be a server setting instead.

Ahh, OK, that makes sense. I didn't know that was enabled by default.
