Thanks guys. I see no way of adding a users e-mail address to their account. How can I notify them that a file has been shared with them?

There is a way, that's how it is supposed to work. The system has to do the notifications via email itself.

Actually, there is not. It is a huge failing from an admin point of view.

Users have to set their email address themselves.

The only way for an admin to do it is via the MySQL/MariaDB command line directly.

I guess one could write a script to do it.

Notification settings are also a user configuraiton piece.

So the user sets up their e-mail address upon their first login to ownCloud?

Here is the message I get when I try e-mailing myself.
Does my config look correct?

Unfortunately, no. There is nothing that makes a user go to the settings screen and add an email address.

Edit: This is in regards to the self hosted solution. I have no experience with what their paid hosted solution does.

Have you conrrectly configured your ownCLoud server to send email?

did you add that second image while i was posting? I did not see it the first time i read the message

alex.olynyk

Which Log file in CentOS can I look at to find out why I cant e-mail?

scottalanmiller

/var/log/messages
/var/log/maillog

scottalanmiller

But, I thought that you were emailing from another server, not from the one that you are on.

alex.olynyk

@scottalanmiller I am. Our e-mail server is hosted.

I have port 25 blocked on my firewall, so for me tail -f /var/log/maillog

results in:

That is with no specific mail server setup in ownCloud.

@JaredBusch That file is empty. This server is only running owncloud. I thought owncloud would log the error somewhere.

ownCloud's default log is /etc/httpd/html/owncloud/owncloud.log

My ownCloud log file is in the data directory /home/owncloud/data/owncloud.log, but i have no idea why. Might just be how ownCloud does it when you use a non default data directory.

I just changed my settings to smtp and put in my gmail creds (and enabled less secure apps in gmail)

0_1456168163860_upload-ae2d5a9b-ddf9-4511-b02d-0e22c8d7e57c

JaredBusch

@alex-olynyk You have SSL enabled in the ownCloud settings, but you are telling it to use port 25. That is completely non-standard. I would say check your hosts settings for remote SMTP.

alex.olynyk

@JaredBusch I disabled SSL and now I get this.
