Owncloud Sharing by email

[Adrastos]

Hi Everybody, I am running freenas 9.1.1 and have installed the ownCloud plugin. I have it working pretty well at this point, but need some help with sharing files via email. When I try sharing to my gmail account or some other email, the email never makes it there. The freenas box sends email via my mail server and works perfectly. However, the ownCloud won't deliver the email. What email function does the ownCloud plugin use; the freenas mail function, ownCloud mail function? Not sure where to start.

I installed a test of ownCloud standard on my webserver and the mail function works great. Hoping somebody can help. thanks in advance.

I am doing the same thought the following file needed to be edited.
But I cant get hang of it..


/usr/pbi/owncloud-amd64/www/owncloud/config
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
'datadirectory' => '/media',
'instanceid' => 'myid',
'passwordsalt' => 'mysalt',
'dbtype' => 'sqlite3',
'version' => '5.0.20',
'installed' => true,
'mail_smtpmode' => 'smtp',
'mail_smtphost' => 'smtp.myisp.com',
'mail_smtpport' => 25,
'mail_smtpsecure' => '',
'mail_smtpauth' => false,
'mail_smtptimeout' => 10,
);

Hope someone else clears up this config issue.
Thank
Mathias

Thanks to your starting point and a review of the email configuration in the owncloud documentation (www.owncloud.org), I have it working now. I added the below to the default config.php at

/usr/pbi/owncloud-amd64/www/owncloud/config/config.php

'mail_smtpmode' => 'smtp',
'mail_smtphost' => 'your.smtp.server', \\\for me this was an IP address of my mail server\\\
'mail_smtpport' => 25,
'mail_smtptimeout' => 30,
'mail_smtpsecure' => 'tls',
"mail_smtpauth" => true,
"mail_smtpauthtype" => "LOGIN",
"mail_smtpname" => "username",
"mail_smtppassword" => "password",
);

Here is the link to the configuration file
