Failed to send magic link email for subscribe

Failed to send magic link email. i am setup the mailgun. what i do now?

Thanks all :slight_smile:

If you’d like help, please post some more information. How did you install ghost? Post the contents of production.config.json (minus passwords). Any errors in the ghost logs? Any errors on the mailing console?

I’m sorry, I have never used it before. So no idea about this. I have auto-installed it via Digitalocean.


I have no idea about this, please help.

mailgun:
light sort SS

ghost panel: SS

OK, so your transactional email is probably not configured. You need that.

See this page, specifically the section on configuring transactional email:

i am getting this log after ghost log command:

A ConfigError occurred.

Error detected in the production configuration.

Message: You have excluded file logging in your ghost config. You need to add it to your transport config to use this command.
Configuration Key(s): logging.transports
Current Value(s): 

Help: Run `ghost config <key> <new value>` for each key to fix the issue.

Try running ghost doctor to check your system for known issues.

You can always refer to https://ghost.org/docs/ghost-cli/ for troubleshooting.

i am also get this when i type ghost doctor:

Sounds like it’s time to check your config file for an error. Extra comma? Missing } ?

it is ok, or not?

"mail": {
  "transport": "SMTP",
  "options": {
    "service": "Mailgun",
    "auth": {
      "user": "postmaster@email.environst.us",
      "pass": "6744bfb7b7f25226a****"
    }
  }
},

You’re missing a comma before mail, looks like!

like this?

The JSON should be one coherent block of key-value pairs:

{
	"key1": "value1",
	"key2": "value2",
	"key3": {
		"subkey1": "subvalue1",
		"subkey2": "subvalue2"
	}
}

From the limited screenshot it looks like you have two “blocks” there. One that ends after the paths object (see the closing } after contentPath and the closing} in the next line) and one block that is dangling underneath, starting with mail.

Here’s a more in-depth introduction to JSON:

And here you can validate your JSON files:

thank you, Can you make me mailgun smtp email sending JSON file? I would appreciate it if you could provide it.
the example mailgun email details:

SMTP settings

smtp.mailgun.org

Our servers listen on ports 25, 587, and465(SSL/TLS)
mail: postmaster@email.environst.us
password: 13668213621 (this is a fake password)

Thank you

Post your whole config file, with passwords replaced, in a code block, and we’ll check it. Like Jannis pointed out, your problem might be not in that email bit itself, but how you integrated it into the rest of the file.

      "service": "Mailgun",
      "host": "smtp.mailgun.org",
      "port": 587,
      "secure": false,
      "auth": {
