> In the guide it says to check the logs at `/var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/rails/production.log` . When I insert that into the console, it says access denied. I’ve checked an the email is set up properly.

`/var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/rails/production.log` is a file path, you may view it by connecting to your server over `ssh`. You may need to use `sudo` to view the file, adjust to however you are viewing it.
