Django - [Errno 111] Connection refused

Question

when I post a comment, do not save, crashes (error: [Errno 111] Connection refused), why?

import time
from calendar import month_name

from          


        

Answer 1

additionally the following will help:

put the following minimal settings in the settings.py or local_settings.py file on your server.

EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

instead of using smtp.gmail.com which imposes lot many limitations, you can have your own mail server.

you can do it by installing your own mailserver:

sudo apt-get install sendmail
