I know this install technique isn’t supported but if anyone can help me debug the issue I would be very grateful!

I launch the image, runs correctly, I add my mailgun settings and all test emails send fine. I can change username, password, test email and post notifications etc. Perfect.

Then I set up an elastic IP and run `bnconfig --machine-hostname DESTINATION` then restart… boom. No more emails.

I then backtrack and reset the hostname to the EC2 instance and remove the IP etc, restart, doesn’t fix it.

I’m not ready to give up just yet though but sadly the bitnami forums aren’t helping.

These are the sidekiq errors:

Can anyone help me debug this, or do these errors make more sense to someone?
