Hello,

I believe I configured my email settings correctly, but I keep having this issue:

An error occurred while sending mail (Failure in opening uri #<URI::Generic:0x0000000a62e3c8 URL:/home/openproject/openproject/tmp/letter_opener/1405003506_e3fc9e1/rich.html> with options {}: Can't convert URI::Generic into String.)

I’ve tried with “smtp_enable_starttls_auto” set to true or false, but still nothing.. Tried smtp_authentification with plain and login and tried smtp_openssl_verify_mode true/false too

Thanks for your help.

Ed

Hi Ed,

how are you running OpenProject?
The error seems to be produced by letter_opener which should only ever run in development mode (your server should run in production mode).

To start OpenProject in production mode, start the server with a prepended “RAILS_ENV=production” (as in RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails server) or, even better, use a proper rails server like passenger or unicorn.

I hope this solves your issue.

cheers,

Hello Tessi,

I was running it with Thin (bundle exec thin start) but I switched to Unicorn now and it’s still not working.
Maybe I have another problem because I can’t seem to run it in production, it keeps giving me errors reaped #<Process:Status: pid 15644 exit 1>. But that’s another topic though I’ll have to search for answers. I can’t even precompile assets, I only get a bunch of errors.

Hello,

Just wanted to thank you for your reply, that was the problem. I can now send emails!
Burt for my curiosity, why letter_opener can’t run in production mode?
