Error when registering users

Using Ghost
1

when registering a site visitor, the error “Failed to sign up, please try again” appears.
I don’t plan to do mailing lists and I don’t want to use Mailgun, I just need to set up registration and that’s it.
Please help me solve the problem
Otherwise, everywhere the solution is tied to the Mailgun setting, but I don’t need it.
Thanks!

You will need to set up configuration for transactional emails. The login/signup mechanism works with email-based magic links.

To send these, Ghost needs a mail configuration (does not need to be Mailgun – you can use other services and SMTP) within the configuration.<environment>.json.

Details are here:

Thanks for the reply.

I have set up config.production.json according to the guide you recommended to me.
But I still can’t set up registration. Could you describe in more detail how to set up registration for me. I will be very grateful to you.

"mail": {
    "transport": "SMTP",
    "options": {
      "service": "Yandex",
      "host": "smtp.yandex.ru",
      "port": 465,
      "secure": false,
      "auth": {
        "user": "......@.......",
        "pass": "123456789"
      }
    }
  }

Here are the settings I used
By the way, I’m installing hostcms on my laptop, a mysql database.

Thank you.

So I think you’re going to need to look at your ghost logs (which are probably in your-ghost-directory/content/logs) for what error is resulting when Ghost attempts to send email through that SMTP server. Possibilities include:

  • wrong user/password combination
  • outbound email is blocked from your server (laptop?)
  • Yandex wants a different port/secure combination or needs startTLS
