Rails send mail with GMail
- by Danny McClelland
Hi Everyone,
I am on rails 2.3.5 and have the latest Ruby installed and my application is running well, except, GMail emails.
I am trying to setup my gmail imap connection which has worked previously but now doesnt want to know.
This is my code:
# Be sure to restart your server when you modify this file
# Uncomment below to force Rails into production mode when
# you don't control web/app server and can't set it the proper way
# ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production'
# Specifies gem version of Rails to use when vendor/rails is not present
RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.3.5' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION
# Bootstrap the Rails environment, frameworks, and default configuration
require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'boot')
Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
# Gems
config.gem "capistrano-ext", :lib => "capistrano"
config.gem "configatron"
# Make Time.zone default to the specified zone, and make Active Record store time values
# in the database in UTC, and return them converted to the specified local zone.
config.time_zone = "London"
# The internationalization framework can be changed to have another default locale (standard is :en) or more load paths.
# All files from config/locales/*.rb,yml are added automatically.
# config.i18n.load_path << Dir[File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'my', 'locales', '*.{rb,yml}')]
#config.i18n.default_locale = :de
# Your secret key for verifying cookie session data integrity.
# If you change this key, all old sessions will become invalid!
# Make sure the secret is at least 30 characters and all random,
# no regular words or you'll be exposed to dictionary attacks.
config.action_controller.session = {
:session_key => '_base_session',
:secret => '7389ea9180b15f1495a5e73a69a893311f859ccff1ffd0fa2d7ea25fdf1fa324f280e6ba06e3e5ba612e71298d8fbe7f15fd7da2929c45a9c87fe226d2f77347'
}
config.active_record.observers = :user_observer
end
ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(:default => '%d/%m/%Y')
ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(:default => '%d/%m/%Y')
require "will_paginate"
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:enable_starttls_auto => true,
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:domain => "XXXXXXXX.XXX",
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => "XXXXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXXXX.XXX",
:password => "XXXXX"
}
But the above just results in an SMTP auth error in the production log.
I have read varied reports of this not working in Rails 2.2.2 but nothing for 2.3.5, anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Danny
