noob question here, I am trying to give my new droplet with Gitlab installed the ability to send mail / messages with a gmail account. I have googled for this and come back with good instructions like these
http://elijahpaul.co.uk/using-an-smtp-server-with-gitlab/
But he is referencing paths to files that I can’t seem to find such as
config/environments/production.rb
I am not really sure where i should be looking, I am somewhat beating my head on the wall. can anyone give me some pointers so that I can learn more.
System info
Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 Codename: trusty
Gitlab 6.4.2 ?
Thanks !

Try running the following command as root: <pre>find / -name production.rb 2>/dev/null</pre>
I believe the absolute path should be /home/git/gitlab/config/environments/production.rb
The newer GitLab images use the omnibus installer. You can edit settings in: <code>/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb </code> <br> <br>You probably want to add something like: <br> <br><pre> <br>gitlab_rails[‘smtp_enable’] = true <br>gitlab_rails[‘smtp_address’] = ‘smtp.gmail.com’ <br>gitlab_rails[‘smtp_port’] = 587 <br>gitlab_rails[‘smtp_user_name’] = ‘account@gmail.com’ <br>gitlab_rails[‘smtp_password’] = ‘password’ <br>gitlab_rails[‘smtp_domain’] = ‘gmail.com’ <br>gitlab_rails[‘smtp_authentication’] = :plain <br>gitlab_rails[‘smtp_enable_starttls_auto’] = true <br></pre> <br> <br>For the changes to take effect you need to run: <br> <br><pre> <br>sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure <br></pre>
