Hello guys, I know it’s a common problem, but I am searching everywhere and I can’t find any answer !!! So here is the deal: I am running v1.6.0.beta1 +394 My email configuration is: address smtp.sparkpostmail.com port 2525 domain ltn.io user_name SMTP_Injection authentication plain enabl…

Check the following settings in admin: notification email reply by email address

Thank you ! You rock. :heart_eyes_cat: It was the notification email. But why ?

Ok, so now my test email are working… but not my activation emails ? I think they are simply not sent at all … I can’t find any trace of them anywhere.

You must validate the domain discourse.example.com with your email provider. If you fail to validate that domain with your email provider you will have problems. Also Bitnami installs are not supported here, only Docker based installs.

[image] codinghorror: Also Bitnami installs are not supported here, only Docker based installs. Dude seriously ? I’m running v1.6.0.beta3 +12 from your github account, that should be sufficient no ? The docker version is kinda hard for me to run because I already have an apache running on …

[image] stadja: The docker version is kinda hard for me to run because I already have an apache running on my server and so I know it is possible but there are plenty of things to do to make it run. Yeah, it’s super complicated . Setting up the outer nginx instance takes two commands in the sh…

[image] stadja: I want to use a docker container Ah, that wasn’t clear. I think the problem was seeing db_name = bitnami_discourse led others to think you were trying to do things your own way and then asking for help when you ran into problems. Assuming you followed the Docker install ht…

Well when I used the docker, I directly had an error: $ ./discourse-setup Port 80 appears to already be in use. If you are trying to run Discourse simultaneously with another web server like Apache or nginx, you will need to bind to a different port See https://meta.discourse.org/t/1724`

In that situation, you cannot use the discourse-setup script. Copy app.yml from samples to containers and fill in the values manually. The tutorial includes changes to this file, which will ensure that Discourse can start up (listening on a socket). After that, you can install nginx on your host a…

Thank you for your answer. I must say that I really don’t understand what in my current installation doesn’t work for sending emails ! I just received the “new version” notification by mail, with the good postmaster… but when someone try to connect, he doesn’t receive the email (the good admin o…
