Also on Sparkpost, I set up the Sending Domain as “ ” (or should .uk be the Sending Domain?).Īs you can probably tell, I’m not interested in using DigitalOcean hosting (as mentioned, I’d like to host Discourse on my own dedicated Ubuntu machine I’m creating for Discourse). I’ve set up the SMTP address and username as per the link, and created an API Key on Sparkpost. That admin email address is an email address created on our team’s hosting site ( .uk is the provider), and I’m trying to use Sparmail as mentioned in this link: SMTP username: password: is the hostname of the machine to host Discourse. In the past, I also tried setting up as the SMTP username, but I realize that this email address can’t be used for SMTP:Įmail: address: .uk So, this is currently how I have my discourse-setup: When I go to register the Admin account, and click Register, I’m told that I’m supposed to receive a confirmation email … and I haven’t received one.
Well, I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 from scratch (this time without Apache) and have successfully gotten the “Congratulations, you installed Discourse!” screen. This is a continuation from this thread: Attempting to install Discourse on private Apache Server - #5 by naupe
