I'm trying to setup OSQA to send emails @ WebFaction. The instruction at Webfaction assume the mail settings come from settings.py so they don't for for OSQA because these setting are pulled from osqa/forum/settings.

I have the correct data as in forum/settings/email.py I've run into a couple of problems.

1 If you change the email settings from /admin/settings/email/# should forum/settings/email.py change? Mine doesn't change. Maybe it updates mail.pyc.

2 I can't seem to authenticate to my mail server, I think the password is not being rendered to String. link

-----update----------- It seems that the problem is that forum_keyvalue:

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD

in the database is not being updated via the Admin forms. The other field however are being updated.

I tried to delete the record from the database and save the

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD

As best as I can understand the code, the EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD must be retrieved from the database. I'm not sure why the Admin settings form is not updating that.

@mrB, all meta.osqa.net postings are required to have a clear, specific question in their title field. Please correct the title of this posting right away. Thanks.

The problem resolved after I deleted the Cache files.

Things are done a lot simpler. You just have to login using a super user and go to the administration. After that all settings can be edit through the email settings set and you don't need to do any file modifications.
