Email not working

Installation
1

Hi guys

Thanks in adavance for helping me.

my set-up:

  1. Server: DigitalOcean
  2. Mail-service: Mailgun
  3. PuttyGen for console

Problem:

  1. Installation discourse worked
  2. creating admin account not working, because i don’t receive an activation account
  3. discourse-doctor says "UNEXPECTED ERROR, Net::SMTPAuthenticationError
  4. telnet smtp.mailgun.org 587 => 220 mailgun influx ready (seems OK to me)

Questions:

  1. How can I check the file “app.yml” to check if I entered email settings correctly? (my problem “-bash: containers/app.yml: Permission denied”)
  2. How can I edit email settings?

Thank you guys

have a nice day

You should be root when installing Discourse, and accessing the app.yml file. Are you a root user when performing these actions?

yes, “whoami” says I am “root”

Try nano containers/app.yml, what happens?
