[TYPO3-install] cannot log into install tool: Address in mailbox given [] does not comply with RFC 2822, 3.6.2.

[Markus Dange]

Hi everyone,

I have a Typo3 6.2.17 installation. SInce My webhoster Domainfactory does not fully support symlinks I have to manually upload the typo3 source code and then change the symlinks.

For some reason after upgrading I cannot log into the install tool any more. I also get this error even if I do not type in a password and click on 'login':
'Address in mailbox given [] does not comply with RFC 2822, 3.6.2. '

I also tried "downgrading" to a previous Typo3 6.2.x version however with the same error. But in the past  (I do not remember which version worked, 6.2.14?) I could log into the install tool.

Is there anything I can add to AdditionalConfiguration.php to solve the problem?:
This is what I have now:

<?php
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['DB']['database'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['DB']['host'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['DB']['password'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['DB']['username'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx';

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['installToolPassword'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx';

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['im_combine_filename'] = 'composite';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['enableDeprecationLog'] = '';

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['enableDeprecationLog'] = '';

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['compressionLevel'] = '9';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['compressionLevel'] = '9';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['curlUse'] = '1';
$GLOBALS['$TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['im_path'] = '/usr/bin/';
$GLOBALS['$TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['im_path_lzw'] = '/usr/bin/';
$GLOBALS['$TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['colorspace'] = 'sRGB';

?>

Or is there a bug in Typo3 6.2.x?

Thank you very much for any help.

WIth kind regards,

Markus
