[Dspace-tech] how to configure my smtp server..!!

2007-08-01 Thread Christos Berberidis
Hi to all,

the problem I have is that new users in DSpace can't be registered
and an internal error is displayed in the browser.I am sure that the most
of you, who are using DSpace, have encountered this problem.
I would appreciate if someone could send me the steps that must be done
to configure the smtp server in a way that would solve the above
problem.

Thanks in advance

This depends. But in general, try to send email from the
command line. You may need to configure a smart host.
This depends of the institution where you are working,
firewall rule for smtp-specific ports and so on.

As soon as you can send mail from the command line
check your dspace.cfg again, restart dspace if you
had to change something in the config, try the re-
gistration process again. If this still doent work,
then your local mail server does not support sending
through the sendmail program. Most alternative MTAs
such as postfix and so on have a stub programm in-
stalled that mimicks the behaviour of sendmail and
most server software uses this. Its kind of mail API.

If you still have problems, you would have to dis-
close some of the information required for proper
diagnosis, id est, operating system, MTA software
you use, version numbers of all packages involved,
dspace, java, tomcat, the whole stack, you know.

And, if it still doesnt work, it might be wise to
search help in a forum belonging to your operating
system unless you are using what most of the parti-
cipants on this list use (my guess: RedHat).

Bye, Christian
