Urgent: I need help with Installing Discourse; Expert Assistance please

Hello all:

I urgently need help to install Discourse on my website. I am was able to install it but notice the mail feature is not work. This makes it impossible to activate created accounts.

Many thanks

Edit your app.yml file with SMTP details from Mandrill or Mailgun.

then

./launcher rebuild app

I am a bit new too Discourse. I am using Digital Ocean as my cloud and my domain is linked to cloudflare. How to I access this Mandrill or Mailgun?

Create an account on https://mandrillapp.com/

After successful registration, go to Log in to Mandrill and create a new API key .

Edit the SMTP configuration settings in your app.yml with your Mandrill API details.

Host : smtp.mandrillapp.com
Port : 587
SMTP Username : YOUR SMTP USERNAME
SMTP Password : YOUR API KEY

then

./launcher rebuild app

EDIT: Just in case you have little knowledge on editing your app.yml file:

  • ssh root@serverIP
  • cd /var/discourse
  • nano containers/app.yml
