Problem with Virtuemart 3.0.16 - Email / TCPDF Related

[rayant]

I have a problem on Virtuemart 3.0.16.

Vendor is not getting emails and I think the problem is happening when the customer pays with paypal because when the customer paysthe order remain pending.

I tried to test by changing the order to complete and I get this error :

TCPDF ERROR: Unable to create output file: components/invoices/vminvoice_1703064CM3032.pdf

The chmod of invoices is 777

Can anyone help me regarding this issue please ?

Thanks

Failure to create the pdf invoice is often due to a lack of PHP memory on the server. Look at the server error log to check this.

No directory should be set to 777 and no server should require it  - that is the equivalent of leaving the front and back doors of your house open while you go away on holiday! 775 is the max that should be required.

A pending status from Paypal would never generate order emails or an invoice. That is a separate issue with your Paypal plugin or configuration.
