I tried to create new installation on new VPS, but get logs below in shared/standalone/log/rails/production.log (and probably this is why i cant send email trough smtp). So, i checked same on DigitalOcean Ubuntu 16 droplet, same results. Installation commands i use (like in discourse basic install): wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh mkdir /var/discourse git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git /var/discourse cd /var/discourse ./discourse-setup Wait 5 seconds and setup create 2GB SWAP by himself Set smtp credentials Thats all Logs from shared/standalone/log/rails/production.log: Error connecting to Redis on localhost:6379 (Errno::ECONNREFUSED) subscribe failed, reconnecting in 1 second.

you are focusing on my email configuration, but forgot about error in logs

4a8b40bc1c7d217b6d16: Error connecting to Redis on localhost:6379 (Errno::ECONNREFUSED) What do the Redis-related logs say? It’s presumably failing to start up.

You mean 16.04 i think, and - email sending working fine for example?

[image] miromichalicka: This issue might be related to Ubuntu itself, everything is running perfect on 17.04 Can you try to rebuild app? And try send something after that? And look at logs please

Ok, so, email sending and this errors in log different things, you can get this errors in production.log after rebuild app and wait are while6 and than will be reproduced periodically.

So… Redis is running, but the app can’t connect? Are you running an all-in-one (standalone) setup with everything in one container, or split out somehow? Any non-default firewall/security things going on?

Any non-default firewall/security things going on? Looks like sometimes app cant connect, I write in first message in this tree whole bunch of commands, nothing else - fresh droplet from DO.

I have the same issue with AWS EC2 running 16.04LTS
