gmail as SMTP server...

Added by Leonid K over 14 years ago

hi,

spent whole day and still cant find the problem :( I've got the following error message "(No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. - connect(2))" when I'm trying to sent test email from Redmine settings tab. I followed these instructions:

1. Open or Create email.yml in : C:\Program Files\BitNami Redmine Stack\apps\redmine\config

2. Make it look like the following:

production:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
tls: true
address: smtp.gmail.com
port: 587
domain: gmail.com
authentication: :plain
user_name: your_google_email<at>gmail.com
password: your_google_email_password

development:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
tls: true
address: smtp.gmail.com
port: 587
domain: gmail.com
authentication: :plain
user_name: your_google_email<at>gmail.com
password: your_google_email_password
2. go to this site: http://github.com/collectiveidea/action_mailer_

3. download the file collectiveidea-action_mailer_optional_tls-.zip ([Download source] btn)

4. extract it to a folder on your machine.

5. create the folder action_mailer_optional_tls in C:\Program Files\BitNami Redmine Stack\apps\redmine\vendor\plugins\

6. copy the contents of what you extracted to the folder you created

7. reboot services

What have I missed? please advise. Also I dont know how to get more information in production.log. Is there any level of logging that I can set?
Thanks!

PS: I used Bitnami Redmine 0.9.3-0 installation
