Item8291: SendEmailPlugin results in 404 error

I've installed the SendEmailPlugin, enabled the plugin, set rights to email to/from everyone, and tried to test the plugin, using the example from the SendEmailPlugin documentation page.

All that happens is a 404 error:

Not Found

The requested URL /svt/wiki/bin/sendemail/System/SpreadWikiNews was not found on this server.

Does anybody has an idea what the problem might be? Is it possible, that mod_perl has to be loaded by the Apache server in order to use this plugin? (Found a reference to GATEWAY_INTERFACE in the sendemail script which is set by mod_perl, as far as I know, and is definetly not loaded by the Apache server, we co-use.)

Thanks for any suggestions! Andreas

I see the same error. Plugin worked without a problem in Twiki (with same apache installation). So this can not be a apache problem - I guess.

This is a showstopper for me to move to Foswiki!

No idea how to debug this.

The error comes from lib/Foswiki/UI.pm, because my $dispatcher = $Foswiki::cfg{SwitchBoard}{ $req->action() }; is not defined for action sendemail.

I can not fix this problem, but this should be easy to fix for a foswiki developer.

Thanks, this helps.

I just figured out this is caused because Config.spec is not shipped with the download.
