Sorry, I already have it setup and running. Just need something simple for my users.

Take screen shots from your own install showing them how. That would probably be the best bet.

He doesn't want to spend the time, clearly he wants someone's elses. I would think instructions like this would exist on OwnClouds own FAQ or instructions. You might have to pull them out piece by piece, but I would expect them to be there.

The product is ownCloud

Not Own Cloud or OwnCloud.

Thanks guys. I see no way of adding a users e-mail address to their account. How can I notify them that a file has been shared with them?

There is a way, that's how it is supposed to work. The system has to do the notifications via email itself.

Actually, there is not. It is a huge failing from an admin point of view.

Users have to set their email address themselves.

The only way for an admin to do it is via the MySQL/MariaDB command line directly.

I guess one could write a script to do it.

Notification settings are also a user configuraiton piece.

So the user sets up their e-mail address upon their first login to ownCloud?

Here is the message I get when I try e-mailing myself.
Does my config look correct?

Unfortunately, no. There is nothing that makes a user go to the settings screen and add an email address.

Edit: This is in regards to the self hosted solution. I have no experience with what their paid hosted solution does.

did you add that second image while i was posting? I did not see it the first time i read the message

alex.olynyk

Which Log file in CentOS can I look at to find out why I cant e-mail?

scottalanmiller

/var/log/messages
/var/log/maillog

scottalanmiller

But, I thought that you were emailing from another server, not from the one that you are on.

alex.olynyk

@scottalanmiller I am. Our e-mail server is hosted.

I have port 25 blocked on my firewall, so for me tail -f /var/log/maillog

results in:

@JaredBusch That file is empty. This server is only running owncloud. I thought owncloud would log the error somewhere.
