Hi, I have changed smarthost for emails and need to update the settings. How to do that?
Community edition, didn’t see anything on the administration page.
Hi @ncastle530 Welcome to the forum!
Can you clarify: are you trying to change which SMTP service the app uses for email notifications or are you trying to change the email address of your user account?
For user accounts, see: As a logged in user I should be able to change my email address - it is not a feature yet. Creating a new user would be needed.
Hi,
Trying to change SMTP settings. I originally set up one smarthost for sending emails, now we have a different smarthost service.
Hi @ncastle530,
Please read Passbolt Help | Configure email providers
The passbolt.php config file will be under /etc/passbolt/passbolt.php or /var/www/passbolt/config/passbolt.php depending how you installed passbolt.

Thanks! That did it.

I made the changes to the file, but could not get it to work. It is no longer sending out emails. I switched it back to the original settings (that service is still active) and still not sending emails.
Is there something else that needs to be done?
Damn, now the site is down. “HTTP ERROR 500”
Rebooted a couple of times
@ncastle530 please provide more information such as the content of the error log file (in /var/log/passbolt/error.log) and config files, so that we can help you understand what the issue is. 500 errors means internal application error, so there could be an issue with the php config file after your changes, that makes the application crash.
Hi remy,
Attached are the passbolt config and error.log
(Attachment error.log is missing)
(Attachment passbolt.php is missing)

Typically SMTP with credentials goes to port 587, and I notice you configured it to port 25.
Please share what installation process you followed. There will need to be a CRON job running - this is installed automatically with package installation.
There is no 500 error in the logs and php file looks correct. I’m not sure if this error is coming from the passbolt app. Can you put a screenshot / full response? Do you have anything else installed next to passbolt on the same server?
What file would you like a screenshot of?
Just passbolt on a Ras Pi 3.
Hi @ncastle530 ,
Do you still have the 500 error ? If yes, you should see an error logged in your /var/log/nginx/ error files.
How did you setup passbolt on your raspberry ? from source ? from Debian package ? Which passbolt version are you running ?
Can you post here the full output of the healthcheck command ?
sudo su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/share/php/passbolt/bin/cake passbolt healthcheck" www-data
Cheers,
Hello,
Yes, still getting a 500 error.
I used the Debian install on the Pi. We’re on the recent stable version, updated two months ago.
Here is the result of the health check:
/bin/bash -c “/usr/share/php/passbolt/bin/cake passbolt healthcheck” www-data
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.43’ (T_DNUMBER), expecting ‘]’ in /etc/passbolt/passbolt.php on line 75
Missing a “]” somewhere?
Finally found it! A syntax error in passbolt.php.
When I modified “'client => IP Address” i neglected to include “’” like ‘IP address’ .
Learn something new everyday!
Thanks for all your help.
Great, so no more 500 errors ? Is email working through your new smarthost ?
Cheers,
Yes, no more 500 error. I’m still having a problem sending emails but I’ll have to work with our smarthost to figure that one out.
Can you post the healthcheck command output ? We also have this documentation page to troubleshoot email part of passbolt.
Best,
Yes, here it is:
