Hi Wagas,

This can only be a guess, since you haven't provided much relevant
information, but this exception:

> *Exception Type: ConnectionRefusedError at /accounts/register/*
> *Exception Value: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because
> the target machine actively refused it*

is being thrown somewhere around here:

> *
> *File "C:\Users\Waqas
> Ahmad\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\smtplib.py" in __init__*
> *  251.             (code, msg) = self.connect(host, port)*
> *

I assume you are trying to send an email and haven't configured your
SMTP server correctly?

Fix that in your settings.

Kind regards,

Kasper Laudrup
