Strange SMTP settings pulled - community 3.4b [solved]

gnevzmaja — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 09:17:49 GMT

I have a following problem with my email configuration:No mater how I set outband mail settings Im getting this error, even none of my config files contains string "smtp.alfresco.com". As this smtp setting is present in default outboundSMTP.properties which I changed I did content search for "smtp.

your configuration settings should be in alfresco-global.properties

Thank You mrogers!
One more question anout alfresco-global.properties:

I have 3 such files in some of the subfolders of \tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\
\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\module\org_alfresco_module_dod5015\alfresco-global.properties
\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\module\org_alfresco_module_wcmquickstart\alfresco-global.properties
\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\module\test\alfresco-global.properties

In root \tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\ I dont have alfresco-global.properties, only alfresco-shared.properties

should I make one new A:\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\alfresco-global.properties file or use and edit any of one existing and mentioned above?
And what use is then
\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\subsystems\email\OutboundSMTP\outboundSMTP.properties?

Thanx again for your time

You should consider the stuff below WEB-INF to be read only. It will get overwritten during an upgrade or a redeploy.

Create an alfresco-global.properties file in /tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

It works! Thanx again mrogers for clear and simple guidelines. There was actually alfresco-global.properties file in /tomcat/shared/classes/

You should consider the stuff below WEB-INF to be read only. It will get overwritten during an upgrade or a redeploy.

Also thanx for this tip, I did actually change lots of .properties files below WEB-INF for purpose of language localisation of share.
It would be good moment to back those up…
