Hello, It looks like "dspace test-email" command is not able to send a test email using your existing settings. As the error says "Connection timed out", it's possible that either the settings are incorrect or the machine where you are running DSpace is blocking requests sent to smtp.gmail.com (maybe there's a firewall in place?).
For Gmail, you also may need to enable these extra settings to get email to work properly (uncomment all three lines, or copy them into your local.cfg configuration file): https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-6_x/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L155 I also noticed that your log file says: WARN org.apache.commons.configuration.DefaultConfigurationBuilder @ Internal error org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationException: Cannot locate configuration source local.cfg This warning is noting that you failed to create the "local.cfg" configuration file, as noted in step #5 of the Installation instructions: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-Installation It is highly recommended to create that local.cfg file (per the instructions in the Installation Documentation) and store all your custom configurations in that location.
