Email updates - Not sending, however no apparent error

Added by David Worthington over 8 years ago

Hi All,

I am very new to Open Project and have gone through and attempted to setup email notifications. I had initial issues with spacing etc in the configuration.ml file, which were subsequently resolved and email updates where working for a while using a no-reply@mydomain.com (Gmail account fyi).

However I decided in my ultimate wisdom that would like to change to Emission Email Address (Administration > Settings >Email notifications) to openproject@mydomain.com and email updates stopped working. I changed the email address back to the account address of no-replymydomain.com however this has not resolved the issue.
If I use the “Send a test email” link on the bottom an email will send fine.

I am sure the emails are not being sent as I can log into the Gmail account and see that there are no emails being sent, however I do see ones previous to the change above and the test emails.

The only other time it seems to work is if I create a new work package. However changes to existing / already setup work packages do no. I have checked all the “Select actions for which email notifications should be sent” in the ‘Email Notification’ configuration page.

Any help appreciated.

RE: Email updates - Not sending, however no apparent error - Added by Karsten Gallinowski over 8 years ago

Hi David,

seems to me that the process which is responsible to handle emails asynchron is not working properly. You should have a deamon running called delayed_job. What is the output of ps ax | grep delayed?

How did you install OpenProject? For the packaged installation you can try openproject run script/delayed_job restart to fix the issue.

Cheers,
Karsten

RE: Email updates - Not sending, however no apparent error - Added by David Worthington over 8 years ago

Hi Karsten,

I am using a Bitnami VM installation. Her is the output of that command

bitnami@linux:~$ ps ax | grep delayed
3497 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep delayed

I just just tried the delayed_job restart as above and got the following output?

bitnami@linux:~$ /opt/bitnami/apps/openproject/htdocs/script/delayed_job restart

I am picking the above is not ideal?

Thanks

RE: Email updates - Not sending, however no apparent error - Added by Karsten Gallinowski over 8 years ago

Hi,

please run the following command to start delayed_job:

@ RAILS_ENV=production /opt/bitnami/apps/openproject/htdocs/script/delayed_job restart@

That should at least solve the database problem. Please keep me posted if this solves the problem or not.

Cheers,
Karsten

RE: Email updates - Not sending, however no apparent error - Added by David Worthington over 8 years ago

Thanks Karsten,

I ran the command as above, however this has not seemed to resolved the issue. I updated several work packages (changed % completed, added notes etc) and still no record of the update emails being sent (Gmail SMTP) or receiving any. Here is the output from that command,

bitnami@linux:~$ RAILS_ENV=production /opt/bitnami/apps/openproject/htdocs/script/delayed_job restart
require ‘rails/all’… 0.670s
Bundler.require… 2.600s

Error: secret_token empty!
Please set it with ENV variable ‘SECRET_TOKEN’ or
run ‘rake generate_secret_token’

RE: Email updates - Not sending, however no apparent error - Added by David Worthington over 8 years ago

Further to the above, I tried to run ’rake generate_secret_token as per the output but get this,

bitnami@linux:~$ sudo rake —trace generate_secret_token

RE: Email updates - Not sending, however no apparent error - Added by Jonas Heinrich (Finn) about 8 years ago

Hi David,

I just stumbled across this thread. Is it still valid?

To run a rake task you need to be in the folder of openproject. This should be /opt/bitnami/apps/openproject.

Best,

Jonas
