Unable to send testmail

Hi,

tried sending a test mail and got this in the log.

2017-01-13 07:46:40  WARN: Unable to find resource 'test.vm' - ResourceNotFoundException (... < NotificationFormatter:51 < NotificationMail:109 < NotificationResource:66 < ...)

Running Traccar 3.9. What to do?

You should be looking at the service call response, not log file.

Sorry, but where can I find that information?

If there was an error, it would show a dialog. If there was no dialog, it means that email was successfully sent.

OK,

this is strange. No notification after sending the email, so the mail is send. The warning in the log file and no email send.

These are the lines I added to traccar.xml

    <entry key='mail.smtp.host'>mail.myhost.nl</entry>
    <entry key='mail.smtp.port'>465</entry>
    <entry key='mail.smtp.ssl.enable'>true</entry>
    <entry key='mail.smtp.username'>alarm@mydomain.nl</entry>
    <entry key='mail.smtp.starttls.enable'>true</entry>
    <entry key='mail.smtp.from'>alarm@mydomain.nl</entry>
    <entry key='mail.smtp.password'>mypassword</entry>

Any ideas on this?

Have you checked your email server logs?

Good point! Checked both the web usage log and the error log. No notifications what soever. So I think nothing is send... The email account is verified and working though.

OK, getting somewhere. Remembered that I read somewhere that after changing the config file you have to stop en start the server. After I did this I tried sending another testmail. Nou I get a error notification. It says: NullPointerExeption (...NotificationMail:69<*:NotificationResource:66<...)

Looks like you are missing "mail.smtp.auth" parameter in the config.

Correct. Switched to the attributes settings for more easy switching my mail settings. Same problem here. No failure notification after pushing the test-mail button and no testmail arriving.

Check network call response in the browser console.

Found the solution. I made a special email account for alarms from Traccar in my domain. The email address that I filled in in my user account was another address. It seems that both email addresses, from the user account and in the settings, have to be the same.

However no failure notification after sending the test email with this wrong setting. Would be nice if a failure notification was build in.

They don't have to be the same. There must be something with your SMTP server or config.

Can't think of what is wrong. All the config files in Traccar are default now, as in: they are the same as they were right after installation. Using the same email address was the only way for me to send my testmail. Do you want me to explore something?

As I said before, you should check the network call response.
