Trouble with invite E-Mails

[xgrnsxs]

Hi
I really like this project, so i set up a family wide Recipe Database. When I create an invite link without an e-mail adress, it works fine. But if i enter any E-Mail Adress I get an HTTP ERROR 500 immediately.

I don't see anything E-Mail related popping up neither in the gunicorn_error.log nor in journal or nginx logs. I tried setting up a test-mailserver and i don't even see tandoor trying to connect to it.

Can you give me some hints where to look?
If you need some specific info about my setup, please ask, but i followed the manual setup guide pretty much 100%.
thanks very much!

I just stumbled upon the following command and it gives me an error as follows:

root@tandoor:/var/www/recipes# python manage.py sendtestemail [email protected]
File "manage.py", line 14
) from exc
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

how is your environment setup?

LOL...
I just found out, that I missed the step, to install all the modules from the requirements.txt, so now i can use "sendtestemail" without error, but I still get Server ERROR 500 when I create invite links with an E-Mail Address.

Okay, so my Environment is as follows:

• LXC Container with Ubuntu 20.04
• PSQL 13.5
• Django 3.2.11
• nodejs 12.22.5
• python 3.9.2
• nginx as reverse proxy to /var/www/recipes/recipes.sock;

Attached the .env file (no passwords or secrets of course :D )
env.txt

If you need something specific, please let me know, as I am not very familiar with python/django.

and your nginx config

Can you set DEBUG=1 and share the django logs showing the error?

[xgrnsxs]

Sure and by asking this, i found the error!

In the .env the line with the option "DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL" my Mail Adress was follwed by a # and a comment on the same line. It might have been there all the time, or maybe i messed it up. Because I did not know that comments cannot be in the same line with any options, I did not see the error.

Thank you very much, it works!

For the sake of completeness here are the logs:

Ah, sry, here you go:
I have both HTTP and HTTPS set up:

For HTTP:
server {
listen 8002;
#access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
#error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

# serve media files
location /static {
    alias /var/www/recipes/staticfiles;
}

location /media {
    alias /var/www/recipes/mediafiles;
}

location / {
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_pass http://unix:/var/www/recipes/recipes.sock;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}

}

For HTTPS:
server {
listen 443 http2 ssl;
listen [::]:443 http2 ssl;

server_name {mydomain};

ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/rezepte.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/rezepte.key;
ssl_dhparam /etc/ssl/certs/dhparam.pem;

location /static {
    alias /var/www/recipes/staticfiles;
}

location /media {
    alias /var/www/recipes/mediafiles;
}

location / {
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_pass http://unix:/var/www/recipes/recipes.sock;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

}

}
