I’m trying to install Passbolt on a new Ubuntu 20.04.3 VM created especially for this task.
I followed all the steps from this tutorial Passbolt Help | Install Passbolt CE on Ubuntu 20.04. The first odd thing is that at the end of the installation process, no progress bar is displayed. Instead, I only saw a circular indicator and text banners showing randomly above it. I waited 15 minutes and opened the site from another tab in my browser. The login form is displayed. I enter my admin email address and check the “accept terms” checkbox. The form says it is sending me a confirmation email, but my mailbox is empty.

I’ve repeated installation process twice, with same results.

Here is details:

Hey @andrey_ra Welcome to the forum! Does this help? Notification mails not send but Testmail working - #6 by garrett

Thank you, clearing the cache helped fix the problem.

sudo -H -u www-data bash -c "/usr/share/php/passbolt/bin/cake cache clear_all"
