Hi, starting a forum, completely new to discourse, hosted on DO, for some reason has issue with smtp or port issue. Now, wanted to find out if you have gone with google logins or social logins and no issue if local sign ups/logins is not in your forum

my site has crashed now. it is a new site with few members, not sure how to download my custom pages and members. don’t want to use smtp at all.

i’m sorry this is happening to you. yea your yml file is likely broken. post the whole thing here (without the email addresses and passwords). this really shouldn’t be this difficult to get up and running. just out of curiosity what size of droplet on Digitalocean are you using? have you been …

how about discourse on amazon Lightsail, they have Amazon SES smpt email as well.

[이미지] abeen: “re_mypassword” @abeen Have you switched these to straight quotes? Try using these instead: "

i’ve got " ", double quotation mark
