From allauth documentation:

When I sign up I run into connectivity errors (connection refused et al)

You probably have not got an e-mail (SMTP) server running on the machine you are developing on. Therefore, allauth is unable to send verification mails.

You can work around this by adding the following line to settings.py:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend' This will avoid the need for an SMTP server as e-mails will be printed to the console. For more information, please refer to:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#email-backend
