Need help for Email setup

Sharetribe Go Community Edition
1

Hi,

It is my first to try to install sharetrib. I came with problems to setup email.

I have followed this instruction:
https://freedif.org/how-to-install-sharetribe-for-ubuntu-16-04

I believe sendmail is configured properly. I can send mail with the following commond
echo “test mail send from sharetrib web server” | mail -s “interesting website” qinyian@gmail.com

But I did not get mail from sharetrib.

in the terminal, I got the following error message:

http://rigy.io/en/confirmation_pending → /en/confirmation_pending
127.0.0.1:11211 failed (count: 37) Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) for “127.0.0.1” port 11211

How could I debug? Where is the official instruction for email setup?

In development, did you get email to work locally?
Instructions below:
Use Mailcatcher to receive sent emails locally:
Install Mailcatcher:

gem install mailcatcher
Start it:

mailcatcher
Add the following lines to config/config.yml:

development:
mail_delivery_method: smtp
smtp_email_address: “localhost”
smtp_email_port: 1025
Open http://localhost:1080 in your browser

Depends on where you deploy remotely (production), email setup are different in each case:
Heroku - you can use addons - sendgrid or mandrill
Digital Ocean - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tags/email?type=tutorials
AWS - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/sending-email.html

Those are just a few example. You might try sharetribe hosted version.

For anyone looking at this later, the issue above is
127.0.0.1:11211 failed (count: 37) Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) for “127.0.0.1” port 11211 DalliError: No server available

This issue is due to the dalli gem not being able to connect to memcached, which is used for delayed_jobs workers. All Sharetribe emails are sent through a worker queue, so won’t send if your memory store isn’t setup.

Sharetribe allows both memcached and Redis as memory stores. I’ve found Redis to be easier to setup.
