Some SERIOUS help needed

Added by Jasen Burkett over 10 years ago

I am new enough to redmine that now in the part of getting emails into redmine via email I am having quite a bit of trouble.

I ahve followed the write up on redmine that tells you how to get going via cron job and imap. but it is still not working. I am not getting errors either.. Here is the rake that I am running just in the terminal for now and am getting an error.
  • Invoke redmine:email:receive_imap (first_time)
  • Invoke environment (first_time)
  • Execute environment
  • Execute redmine:email:receive_imap

I have no clue where to go from here.

Can someone please help me?

Hello Jasen,

The error suggests Ruby was not able to solve the DNS name of your server (hear: get the IP address).
To have clues about what's going on, you can try to run something like:

dig imap.server.com

or
nslookup imap.server.com

You can also try to use directly the IP address of the server instead of its DNS name.

Cheers,

I sent you an email on the first response (the other issue I have).

I am following the redmine.org doc. on setting up IMAP... IE this link
http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineReceivingEmails

And so I am honestly very confused on what I am doing, and what i am doing wrong.

I was using the imap settings for my outgoing mail that I use on mac mail. So maybe that is where I am going wrong.

In the cron list or line rather...

*/30 * * * * redmineuser rake -f /path/to/redmine/appdir/Rakefile redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV="production" host=imap.foo.bar username= password=xxx

IF I put an acutal 'redmineuser' in that place, I get errors of some sort like cron does not like that. so when I take it out it seems to run.

Am I supposed to use the actual Rakefile in the main redmine directory? or am I supposed to use one in the lib/tasks/ folder?

on the host.... I am using mail.ardemgaz.com I am using my existing email address and my existing password (not showing that silly)

So that is why I am so confused. I am not sure why this is not working.

Again, help is much appreciated.

I will try what you suggested also, by the way.

Thank you.

Here is the latest....

I tried using pop3 instead of IMAP, with no avail.

here is the rake I used, and here is the error.

rake -f /usr/share/redmine/Rakefile redmine:email:receive_pop3 RAILS_ENV="production" host=pop3.ardemgaz.com port=110 username= password=XXX --trace

  • Invoke redmine:email:receive_pop3 (first_time)
