Can anyone help. Trying to setup email in digital ocean with putty but after copying & pasting this smtp_address = “smtp.mandrillapp.com” smtp_port = 587 smtp_domain = your_domain.com smtp_user_name = ‘your_email_registered_at_mandrill’ smtp_password = ‘any_mandrill_api_key_in_your_account’ smtp_enable_start_tls = true authentication = login enable_starttls_auto = true with my info all I get is “-bash: … : command not found.” At my wits end pls help

Thanks for your attempts at helping I finally got support from the Bitnami folks. Pls for goodness sake can we go back to UI’s that don’t require degrees to operate and instructions that are accurate? Pero why do I need to see the backend Anyways?! OK time for a bagel. I miss Steve jobs :sob: If anyone is in the same predicament here’s a link to my resolution and how to access discourse.conf file. https://community.bitnami.com/t/discourse-403-error/37236/4

Sorry total noob here. Where do I find the error trace. Are these commands intended for the putty/digi ocean interface or the discourse app itself? Thanks

I’m trying to follow these directions as I type them directly into the digi ocean console…it should be pretty straight forward, but I just can’t seem to get anywhere with them. Is there a command line that should start this of i.e sudo…? Directions: To configure SMTP settings using and external SMTP server, you have to add the lines indicated below to you installdir/apps/discourse/htdocs/config/discourse.conf, for instance, after the line: The required lines to configure SMTP are the following: smtp_address = “SMTP_HOSTNAME” smtp_port = SMTP_PORT smtp_domain = example.com smtp_user_name = ‘SMTP_USER’ smtp_password = ‘SMTP_PASSWORD’ smtp_enable_start_tls = true

Ah I see what you’re doing. Are you pasting those lines directly into the command line? Following this guide might help: docs/INSTALL-cloud.md main # Install Discourse on a Cloud Server > To install and self-host Discourse, follow the steps below.

Hi yes I am. I should state I sent through Bitnami so it seems your above directions are different. Here’s what I’m copy pasting into the console line for line as the instructions say here https://wiki.bitnami.com/Applications/BitNami_Discourse installdir/apps/discourse/htdocs/config/discourse.conf smtp_address = “SMTP_HOSTNAME” smtp_port = SMTP_PORT smtp_domain = example.com smtp_user_name = ‘SMTP_USER’ smtp_password = ‘SMTP_PASSWORD’ smtp_enable_start_tls = true What could be amiss? I wish this was more user friendly. I’ve tried everything and need this working like yesterday. Thanks

Has bitnami migrated their setup to the docker config? If not, it’s going to be hard to get support here. I will say that the lines which begin smtp_ are to be pasted into a the discourse.conf file, not entered in a prompt. If you really Need It Done, Discourse offers a one-time setup for $99 - https://payments.discourse.org/buy/ (It won’t be using bitnami tho)

[图片] Minzy: I’ve tried everything and need this working like yesterday. I would suggest following the official Discourse guide :smile:

$99 Oye we are not all Trumps :neutral_face: , plus this is a non profit and like the last step. If I could only locate the darn discourse.conf file. I have a feeling the installdir path might be the culprit. Wondering if it should be something else.

Is there a reason why you would need to follow the bitnami guide rather than the official supported version given that you’re using a digital ocean droplet? :confused:

Is there a reason why you would need to follow the bitnami guide rather than the official supported version given that you’re using a digital ocean droplet? Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to apply after trying to follow it. I already have discourse installed, not using docker I think. so can’t pick up the directions from app.yml or copy app.yml part because I don’t have that folder or file.
