Problems sendind Emails, trying with Mandrill, local and local-SSL
-
Hello, I'm not sure really whats going on, a couple days ago the forum was sending out emails through Mandrill with no problems but for some reason now its not interacting with the service and now I'm trying with a different SMTP using the local and local-SSL plugins but also nothing happens... I have tried to check the Advanced>Logs but nothing shows up at all the last output shows "24/9 11:11 [4208] - info: NodeBB is now listening on: 0.0.0.0:4567" but it doesn't update anything else, if it helps to know I update the NodeBB project almost daily based on the NodeBB Git so I should have the most recent changes... which could be the reason for it not to work now...
Extra information:
- "You are running NodeBB v0.8.2."
- "Emailer Installed"
- "it says Email sent when I use the SEND TEST EMAIL option"
I'm baffled ... if anyone has any ideas or you need more information please let me know so I can provide it.
Thanks for the help!

Hhmmm, in your Mandrill control panel do you see the emails being send out or isn't it sending them at all?
-
No, it just shows the activity from 2 days ago.
I'm testing things here, and I went back to a pull made 3 days ago by baris "Merge pull request #3636 from HorusGoul/HorusGoul" and now is sending emails again... seems that something was updated recently and broke the emails or something...

Try Mailgun once please.

Well, I went back to a pull from 3 days ago, tried with Mailgun and it worked.... then reset the NodeBB folder to the latest pull from Git... and again it doesn't do anything (The one that works is where in the ACP has no options to changes templates, now with the templates it just doesn't work).

What branch are you pulling from and what is your hash? This change is on master now i believe (Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong):

You can pull them from github, but don't get them via
./nodebb upgrade -
Oh boy, I have to admit that I'm very new to using GitHub, all I did was to install Git on the pc (Windows) then used Git Extensions to clone the project for NodeBB to a local folder, and then I setup that folder with the npm install, and node app --setup.... so... not sure if that was the correct way to do it... for example the latest commit or push that I see on Git Extensions is the one from Julian "fixes #3669" so by pulling that my NodeBB folder should then be updated to the latest version... isn't it?
I guess one more thing I don't get is if there is more than one active version of NodeBB cause I see somethings showing v.0.7.x and v.0.8.x, don't know if someone can clarify this to me?
Thanks.

Usually it's fine to clone the master of a repo, but the NodeBB team seems to push their version in development to master. (I don't know why.) For that reason you want to clone the latest stable branch, in this case by issuing
git clone -b v0.8.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebbfixes #3669 · NodeBB/NodeBB@137f209
Node.js based forum software built for the modern web - fixes #3669 · NodeBB/NodeBB@137f209
GitHub (github.com)
This is indeed the most recent commit to master (which is in development), and is the most updated one though unstable and not compatible with all plugins.

Is that in git extensions? If that is the case, you're probably seeing the branhes of different (and old) versions.

@atrius Thank you very much for the explanation, for the time being I'll avoid doing it the way I was pulling from Git, right now it's working and sending emails (with the local plugin which is what we actually needed), we'll be more careful when trying to update to the newer stable versions from now on.
Thank you again.
