I am getting this error in my askbot.log "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/askbot/utils/mail.py TIME: 2011-02-15 15:10:25,261 MSG: mail.py:send_mail:48 please run connect() first"
I'm running django 1.1.2 on Maverick.
I have the following email settings: {{{
SERVER_EMAIL = 'root@answers.ros.org' DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'root@answers.ros.org' EMAIL_HOST_USER = '' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '' EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX = '' EMAIL_HOST='localhost' EMAIL_PORT='25' EMAIL_USE_TLS=False EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' }}}
Your settings look right, but the mail server must be running and accept those credentials.
Sorry, I am not an expert in mailserver configuration - hope that someone else helps.
My settings are as follows:
SERVER_EMAIL = ''
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'askbot@askbot.org'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = ''
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX = '[ASKBOT] '
EMAIL_HOST='askbot.org'
EMAIL_PORT='25'
EMAIL_USE_TLS=False
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
But I might have missed something, the difference I see with your settings is that you have "localhost" and I have domain name in the EMAIL_HOST setting.
