Hi,

I’m installing Discourse with the minimum on Digital Ocean, this is mean 1G Ram / 25G space / One Click install.

Everything was fine until the moment I use SSH to enter my email, SMTP information,… each time I enter all the information, the steps repeat from the beginning, ask me to enter the information again, I did and repeat again, why ???

Knowing that I want to use Elasticemail as STMP provider.

Thanks for your help
