Hi @Orestes_Febles,

can you please describe your deployment.
Where is your config properties located?

If you use a shared process engine (e.g. camunda tomcat distro) then you should put the config properties in the conf folder of the tomcat and set the environment variable to %CATALINA_HOME%\conf.

Note that it’s currently not possible to put the config properties in the process application.

Best regards,
Philipp

Hi Philip, thanks for your answer. Im putting the email-config.properties in lib folder of tomcat and it works. But set the environment variable to %CATALINA_HOME%\conf?

Thanks again

Hi @Orestes_Febles,

usually, you will put all configuration files in the tomcat conf folder. So if you put the email-config.properties in this folder then you must set the MAIL_CONFIG environment variable.

Does this work for you?

It doesnt work for me … None of the examples (pizza and printer) shows a piece of code changing MAIL_CONFIG environment variable of de connector. Do you have some example?

Thanks again Philipp

Hi @Orestes_Febles,

if you use the tomcat disto then you can adjust the script start-camunda.bat / start-camunda.sh and set the environment variable MAIL_CONFIG to %CATALINA_HOME%\conf before calling the start script (i.e. /server/apache-tomcat-8.0.24/bin/startup.bat).

Does this help you?

Best regards,
Philipp

Hi I think I’m facing thesame problem as orestes.

Error Message:
No connector found for connector id ‘mail-send’

I have the .properties file already in /server/apache-tomcat-8.0.24/conf so I think my problem is being caused by the startup.bat file(I dont really know how to perform the required changes). Here is what it currently looks like
