Redmine

Hi,

You should try a SMTP discussion with your mail serveur through telnet (ask google, there's plenty examples) to check if your settings are goods. Some mail servers are configured to silently deny access from unauthorized users.

If it works, you should try to update your gems:

# gem update

When "restarting redmine", it just means to restart your mongrel_cluster.

Thomas, thanks for the reply.

I did a lot of SMTP debugging with my server when I set it up some time ago here. That is not being the problem. I checked this by sniffing the SMTP port on the mail server and verifying that I do not get TCP connections from the Redmine server.

I´m more suspicious of this configuration, does it strike you as OK?

1. SMTP server configuration
   config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
   :address => "192.168.0.6",
   :port => 25,
   :domain => "neo-pentatek.com",
   :authentication => :login,
   :user_name => "redmine@neo-pentatek.com",
   :password => "redmine",
   }
   config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
   #config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test
   config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

And then the output from RAILS_ENV=production script/about contains a few errors. I don´t know the meaning of this output, could you please clarify it for me, or even if it is important? It does not look like what someone else posted in the forum when he asked for it.
alejandro@morfeo:/var/www/redmine$ RAILS_ENV=production script/about
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:263:in `load_missing_constant': uninitialized constant Rails::Info (NameError)

from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
from script/about:3

I will try the SMTP discussion JIC, but i´m quite sure it´s not the problem.
Thanks again.

Hi all, just to say that i fixed the problem, it was due to my configuration. This is the config that worked for me:

1. SMTP server configuration
   config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
   :address => "neo",
   :port => 25,
   :domain => "neo-pentatek.com",
   :authentication => :login,
   #:user_name => "redmine",
   #:password => "redmine",
   }

   config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true

   1. Tell ActionMailer not to deliver emails to the real world.
   2. The :test delivery method accumulates sent emails in the
   3. ActionMailer::Base.deliveries array.
      #config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test
      config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

I´m not quite sure as to why it worked with auth => login but without user_name and passwordname, but it did. My Postifx server works with plaintext auth, is there a "plain" auth method with redmine? I know it should go with TLS but it´s not open to the public, just inter-office.
Anyhow, thanks for the help!

Regards,
Alex
