This seems to be a common issue. I’ve read similar posts and followed their solutions, but I can’t get emails to work.
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
-
Installed via instructions from linuxbabe.com
How to Install Passbolt Password Manager on Ubuntu 20.04 Server -
Couldn’t log in until I found a post about how to Enable mod_rewrite for apache (I wish that was documented).
-
Setup my account.
-
Sent test email
sudo ./bin/cake passbolt send_test_email --recipient=mytestemail@yahoo.com -
message sent successfully
