Redmine

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem. I use redmine 1.0.2 and config/email.yml is not detected. Here is my email.yml:

production:
  delivery_method: :smtp
  smtp_settings:
    address: "localhost" 
    port: '25'

Is there anything I have done wrong?

Greetings,

If you run the debian package, the paths are different than what you will find in most guides.

The email.yml is probably going to /etc/redmine/default/email.yml. if you use this package. See /usr/share/doc/redmine/README.debian (or similar) for more info.

Hello Holger,

I am not using a debian system. I installed ruby and redmine by hand without any packaging system on a sunos machine. Everything else works fine, except the email-configuration.

I solved the problem. On the machine where redmine is run, the redmine volume is mounted read-only. Now I copied the email.yml to some other location and created a symlink to this place, restarted redmine and it works fine. I even could replace the symlink with the original file and the mail configuration still works.
For me it seems that for the initial configuration the email.yml must be writable. But I won't investigate it further, as the problem is solved.

I know now where to put this file, but now e-mails are sent.
I use the smpt-server of my provider to send mails.
How can I check why email aren't send?

Try sending the test email from the administration > configuration > email pane, that should show you what error redmine faces.

That did the trick. Thanks! I now have my gmail configured and it works like a charm!
