Hi Dale, there are really two ways to add a new user. One, as you tried, would be to use the signup form (more below about why that wasn't working), and second, an admin can create a new user at any time by going to the Django admin panel at http://myarcheswebsite.co.uk/admin. Note that access to the Django admin panel is restricted to users who have "staff" status (as defined in that panel).
To get to the specific error you are seeing, it looks like you do not have the e-mail settings updated. The easiest way to get that working is to give Arches access to an e-mail account that is housed on a different e-mail server, gmail for example. Please look in your project's settings_local.py file, and uncomment and update these variables (note these credentials should *always *stay in settings_local.py so they are outside of version control): EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'x...@xxx.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'xxxxxxx' EMAIL_PORT = 587 EMAIL_USE_TLS = True I have found many sources that don't recommend using Gmail for a production django app, but it's very easy to get it up and running right away. For production deployments, you may want something like Mailgun, but setting that up will require some new records in your DNS, etc. Please let me know if this works. I realize we need to add the e-mail configuration to the docs, and I hope to be able to do so soon.
