While OpenCms should function fine without any modifications to any of these files, there are a few changes to one file that are worth making at this time. Edit the opencms-system.xml file. In order to take advantage of email notifications in the Workplace, you will need to configure a few parameters in this file. Find the element. It will contain several mail configuration elements: nobody@nowhere.com Set to the username you want OpenCms to send from. This address will show up in the From: field of outgoing email messages. The element contains information about the SMTP mail server. The first attribute of this element is name. Set the value to the domain name of the SMTP server that it should contact. On Linux and UNIX machines that run Sendmail, this value can usually be set to localhost. The next attribute is protocol, which should be set to smtp for Simple Mail Transport Protocol the standard mail protocol used on the Internet. If your SMTP server requires authentication before a message can be sent (and this is increasingly common), you can use the user and password attributes to set the appropriate account information. If you want to set up “failover” mail hosts (so that if the first server is down, OpenCms can try another), you can simply create additional elements and configure them accordingly. Otherwise, you should delete the extra elements, since they will contain dummy data. Any time you change one of these files, you will need to restart Tomcat in order for OpenCms to pick up the changes. Installation Troubleshooting Not all installations go flawlessly. In this section, we will look at the most common installation problems and see how to fix them. Additionally, the OpenCms website particularly the developers’ mailing-list archives is a good resource for troubleshooting information. Crashes During Module Installation Occasionally, some browsers will hang (stop responding) during the lengthy module installation process. If this occurs, do not close the browser. Wait for twenty minutes (ample time for the process to complete) and then see if the browser will respond. You can often find out whether the installation is complete by checking the server’s resources.
