I have been working with rails since a long. Now I am facing a small issue in the ActionMailer. I want to send an email when user gets registered to confirm his registration.
I am able to send email in the development mode but where as not in the production mode.
the exception Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) is coming everytime when deliver method is called.
I have written the following code.
My SMTP config looks:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => "localhost:3000" }
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:openssl_verify_mode => OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE,
:ssl => true,
:enable_starttls_auto => true, #this is the important stuff!
:address => 'smtp.xxxx.xxx',
:port => xxx,
:domain => 'xxxxxx',
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => '[email protected]',
:password => 'xxxxxxxxx'
}
In the controller, I have written the following:
def confirm_registration_in_c
@user = User.find_by_email([email protected])
if @user
UserMailer.confirm_registration(@user).deliver
end
end
In my user_mailer.rb :
class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
default from: "[email protected]"
def confirm_registration(user)
@user = user
@user_name = @user.name
email = @user.email
mail(:to => email, :subject => "Reset your password")
end
end
I am able to send email in the development mode in my local host, but I am not able to send the email in the dedicated server.
Can anybody help me please?
In my situation, I encountered similar problems when I was trying to making through a sending-email Rails app tutorial, the Heroku logs kept telling my that
......
Errno::ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused - connect(2) for "localhost" port 25):
......
After I compared my code with author's code, I got to find out that I had not setup my ActionMailer configurations in the config/environments/production.rb file.
Then I came to realized that I just had my config/environments/development.rb configured for sending-email, but I had not done it for my config/environments/production.rb.
So you may check it when your app's behavior difers between development and production.
