[Dspace-tech] Dspace email problem

[Paul Gillary]

Hi All,

I have managed to setup dspace but I'm having problems adding users.

When I try to register a user I get an 'Internal System Error'

 I checked the dspace log(below) and it looks like it is having difficulty sending emails. I've setup dspace using gmail. I've done this before on another project and it has worked.

##### Email settings ######

# SMTP mail server
mail.server = smtp.gmail.com

# SMTP mail server authentication username and password (if required)
mail.server.username = user...@gmail.com
mail.server.password = password

# SMTP mail server alternate port (defaults to 25)
mail.server.port = 465

I thought I would be able to do the same with dspace. Is anyone using gmail for their smtp settings or any other alternative?

Thanks

Paul

Paul,

GMail servers require that you authenticate via SSL. So, you MUST have
the "mail.extraproperties" settings uncommented in your dspace.cfg:

https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L132

The best reference for using DSpace with GMail's SMTP is still Stuart
Lewis's blog post from several years back:
