I have an exception when trying to invite people into my share site .

in the user interface i have this message :

‍‍‍

in the log file i have this message :

Caused by: org.springframework.mail.MailSendException; nested exceptions (1) are:

?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

Guys, dunnow if you already got a solution but configuring mail settings < > do get me past the invitation error:

mail.host=<smtp server>
mail.port=25
mail.username=anonymous
mail.password=
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.from.default=<send address>
mail.smtp.auth=false
mail.protocol=smtp

But the next problem is that an invited user cannot accept the invitation and gets the errormessage on invitee accepts:
Failed to action task, which is what I read here:
http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=27402
This is about configuring host config of Apache by rewriting ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse:

ProxyPass /share http://localhost:8080/share
ProxyPassReverse /share http://localhost:8080/share

Now I'm using a bootstrapped Apache with Catalina server (org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap) and only found a reference to ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse in \tomcat\webapps\docs\proxy-howto.html

I do not know how to edit httpd.conf with a bootstrapped Apache so I tried editing Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\urlrewrite.xml:

<!–<to>/page/proxy/$1</to>–>
     <to>/share/page/proxy/$1</to>

Only thing I know is that after trying to accept requests as site manager or site member I get the same error and the logs show every time a message dealing with an invalid jbpm id:

13:32:17,688 ERROR [org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.AbstractRuntime] Exception from executeScript - redirecting to status template error: 08290001 Wrapped Exception (with status template): 08290004 Failed to execute script 'classpath*:alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/repository/workflow/end-task.post.js': 08290003 Invalid Global Id 'jbpm18'

Caused by: org.alfresco.service.cmr.workflow.WorkflowException: 08290003 Invalid Global Id 'jbpm18'

For now I'm stuck and really would appreciate some help.
To convince the office Alfresco could be the app that we should use I first should have some simple tests up running  :roll:

By installing the last version (alfresco-community-3.4.a) and setting the outboundSMTP.properties the problem got solved.

[phswartz]

Okay, I'm using alfresco-3.4.a on OpenSuse 11.3 and postfix.  However, I can not find any file that has a "outboundSMTP.properties" entry for me to change.  What file do I put that entry? what syntax?
Once that entry is configured, do I need to restart Alfresco?

Thanks for any help,

Patrick

Hi Patrick

outboundSMTP.properties isn't a an entry in a file, it is the controlling file for the outBoundSMTP sub-system. Find it on your system by doing a search in the Alfresco installation directory. It will be somewhere like ~alfresco/subsystems/email/outboundSMTP. Open it up and you'll see all the default settings.

You could change these here, but better still is to copy the settings into alfresco-global.properties and edit the settings there. This file (alfresco-global.properties) is the last file loaded and over-rides all the other property settings for the system. You can put any settings in here and it keeps things in one place, making this the preferred way of doing this and best practice for adminsitrators.

Any time you make a change to the properties files you will need to restart the server.

Hope this answers your question.

Hi Guys
When i did my Research in this topic i found out that , invite usually getting failed when both the invitee and inviter ar in same domain. what i mean to say is if a@xyz.com is inviting b@xyz.com then invite is getting failed. the moment u change the email id of a to a@zyx.com , then invite is sending successfully.. i still couldn't found oout ne solution why this is happening but this strange beheviour is still very much bothering me.

Thanks,
Atish
