Hello!

I just made a clean install of 1.8.1 on a linux ubuntu 12.10 machine. When trying to send an e-mail with swiftmailer I get the following error:

preg_match(): Compilation failed: internal error: previously-checked referenced subpattern not found at offset 4246

Googling it I find that it appears to be a problem with pcre. Apparently 8.12 has some issues that are fixed in 8.13 (The current version of pcre is 8.32.). At least that's what I gathered, I could be wrong.

I have NO idea how I would upgrade pcre to 8.32 in xampp. Does anyone know how?

Thanks,

Jonas

You can't. That is a known disadvantage of using Xampp, as you cannot upgrade any portion on yourself. For the ease of use and installation, the Xampp binaries libraries are always kind of "outdated". For an upgrade you have to wait for a new Xampp release.

In your case, i would not use Xampp, but install Apache/Mysql/Php etc. directly from Ubuntu. You may also install the Server Version of Ubuntu (instead of Desktop Version), as it comes with a pre-installed Server Environment.

ok, thanks
