Hi Oscar, I did have the SMTP settings in my settings.py, pointing to my mail server and port. I am still testing to see if exim was required. Looking into a few other options such as DNS fully-qualified names and spam filtering, but at this point, just happy it's working! Thanks for the suggestion.

Works perfectly! Thanks!!

I think this may be an easy question, but I can't seem to find the answer.

Currently, when adding a new user to my Q&A site, the mail account validation email is missing both protocol and server information.

Does anyone know how askbot is populating these settings, and how to change the configuration to add these?

Right now, the validation link is showing ://account/verify-email/?validation_code=xyzabc123...

Not sure if this is necessary, but I installed exim4-daemon-light via apt-get install and went through the dpkg configuration options, and was able to get my askbot server to communicate with my primary SMTP server.

I am now getting email validations sent, but the new problem is that the verify-email link appears to be missing the host and protocol info.

://account/verify-email/?validation_code=blahblahblah

Add new user confirm email not working

I don't think the Validation email is being sent because it doesn't appear to be hitting our mail server.

I also tried typing in my email address, and clicking confirm email and I get the following error

Sorry, registration failed. Please ask the site administrator for help.

Is there any way to turn on logging, or log files I can open that might give a clue as to what's happening and why?

Nevermind. I figured it out. You must log in as the admin account, and click on the settings hyperlink which takes you to

Home › Edit Group Settings

At this point you can set all different types of karma threshold limits Upvote, Downvote, Answer own question immediately, Accept own answer, Accept any answer, Flag offensive, Leave comments, Delete comments posted by others, Delete questions and answers posted by others, Upload files, Insert clickable links, Insert link suggestions as plain text, Close own questions, Retag questions posted by other people, Reopen own questions, Edit community wiki posts, Edit posts authored by other people, View offensive flags, Close questions asked by others, Lock posts, Post answers and comments by email, Trigger email notifications,

I am getting ready to implement a Q&A site, and I want any new user to have the ability to upload files. However, Askbot is saying file uploading requires karma > 10.

Or, alternatively, is there a config file where I can remove these restrictions?

I was able to figure it out. I originally tried installing askbot via pip pip install askbot

Switched to easy_install and can now see askbot-setup easy_install askbot

Thanks!

I searched the entire file system and no luck finding this. Can you tell me the package names that you installed for Python and askbot?

I have installed askbot pip install askbot

I have also installed python-dev via package manager

I have searched the file system but cannot find this setup file. I know that I can manually go through the config files. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this, and if I need to do anything for this setup script to be installed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
