Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to How do I find this ad.tcl error?

The problem is probably not in webmail. You can go into webmail-defs.tcl and insert this debug code:

# Schedule the filter to process the incoming mail queue
ns_share -init {set webmail_queue_processing_enabled_p 0} webmail_queue_processing_enabled_p

ns_log Debug "init = $webmail_queue_processing_enabled_p, enabled = [ad_parameter WebmailEnabledP webmail 0]" # <--- debug code

if {! $webmail_queue_processing_enabled_p && [ad_parameter WebmailEnabledP webmail 0] } {

    ns_share wm_queue
    set      wm_queue(processingP) 0
    set      wm_queue(lock)        [ns_mutex create]

    set wm_interval [ad_parameter ProcesssQueueInterval webmail 60]
    ad_schedule_proc -thread t $wm_interval wm_process_queue

    ns_schedule_daily -thread 3 30 wm_cleanup_outgoing_messages

    set webmail_queue_processing_enabled_p 1
}

Now fire up aolserver and look in the log file for something like:

If init or enabled is blank that is your problem. Since webmail_queue_processing_enabled_p is defined in webmail-defs.tcl, I doubt that it is the problem. Most likely the call to ad_parameter is returning a blank. If so look in your nsd.tcl file for the problem.
