I“ve just installed OP on RHEL 7, and I can connect to the Dashboard and log in as admin/admin. I tried to change the password as requested, but then I get the ”email is invalid" message. The new password is not saved, and I’m not actually logged in. I can’t work out what aspect of the email is invalid. I tried to just use root@localhost and similar accounts, all with the same result. For now I don’t actually need email and would happily disable it, but the only way I saw to do that was through the GUI, which I can’t get to (not logged in).
Can anyone suggest how to either fix or disable email while I test OP?
thanks
configuration.yml contains the following:
email_delivery_method: <%= ENV.fetch(‘EMAIL_DELIVERY_METHOD’) { :sendmail } %>
smtp_address: <%= ENV[‘SMTP_HOST’] %>
smtp_port: <%= ENV.fetch(‘SMTP_PORT’) { 25 }.to_i %>
smtp_domain: <%= ENV.fetch(‘SMTP_DOMAIN’) { ENV[‘HOSTNAME’] } %>
smtp_authentication: <%= ENV.fetch(‘SMTP_AUTHENTICATION’) { :login }.to_sym %>
smtp_user_name: <%= ENV[‘SMTP_USERNAME’] %>
smtp_password: <%= ENV[‘SMTP_PASSWORD’] %>
smtp_enable_starttls_auto: <%= ENV.fetch(‘SMTP_ENABLE_STARTTLS_AUTO’) { “false” } %>

sorry, no help. same problem.
would be cool to use this without external email support…
I get the same issue stating ’ Email can’t be blank ’
Can someone please advise?
thanks,

Hi everyone,
upon first installing, the database is seeded with default information (such as the admin user). That admin user receives an email address that stems from your configuration, if it is set:
ADMIN_EMAIL.You probably set a mail address that is not being matched by the regex
/\A([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})\z/i.
(root@localhost would be invalid, for example).
Please use the following steps to correct this issue:
1. Spawn an interactive shell on the installation:
This will boot up the application and should show the following output:
2. When the console has loaded, update the email address of the admin user
This should print
=> true.If it instead fails with an error something like
ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid: Validation failed: Email is invalid., your mail address is invalid.Afterwards, you should be able to login and change your password.
Best,
Oliver
Perfect - i was able to login afterwards.
thank you very much!
