Hi, all

I am new to rails. While I tried to send email by configuring the  
email sending than my application could not started.

My environment.rb is as follows :

# Be sure to restart your web server when you modify this file.

# Uncomment below to force Rails into production mode when

# you don’t control web/app server and can’t set it the proper way

# ENV[‘RAILS\_ENV’] ||= ‘production’

# Specifies gem version of Rails to use when vendor/rails is not

present  
RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION = ‘1.1.6’

# Bootstrap the Rails environment, frameworks, and default

configuration  
require File.join(File.dirname( **FILE** ), ‘boot’)

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|

ActionMailer::Base.delivery\_method = :sendmail

require ‘0-13-1\_cti\_instantiation\_patch’

# Settings in config/environments/\* take precedence those specified

here

# Skip frameworks you’re not going to use (only works if using

vendor/rails)

# config.frameworks -= [:action\_web\_service, :action\_mailer]

# Add additional load paths for your own custom dirs

# config.load\_paths += %W( #{RAILS\_ROOT}/extras )

# Force all environments to use the same logger level

# (by default production uses :info, the others :debug)

# config.log\_level = :debug

# Use the database for sessions instead of the file system

# (create the session table with ‘rake db:sessions:create’)

# config.action\_controller.session\_store = :active\_record\_store

# Use SQL instead of Active Record’s schema dumper when creating the

test database.

# This is necessary if your schema can’t be completely dumped by the

schema dumper,

# like if you have constraints or database-specific column types

# config.active\_record.schema\_format = :sql

# Activate observers that should always be running

# config.active\_record.observers = :cacher, :garbage\_collector

# Make Active Record use UTC-base instead of local time

# config.active\_record.default\_timezone = :utc

# See Rails::Configuration for more options

end

# Add new inflection rules using the following format

# (all these examples are active by default):

# Inflector.inflections do |inflect|

# inflect.plural /^(ox)$/i, ‘\1en’

# inflect.singular /^(ox)en/i, ‘\1’

# inflect.irregular ‘person’, ‘people’

# inflect.uncountable %w( fish sheep )

# end

# Include your application configuration below

ActionMailer::Base.smtp\_settings = {  
:address =\> “[smtp.host.com](http://smtp.host.com)”,  
:port =\> 465,  
:user\_name =\> “removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”,  
:password =\> “pass”,  
:authentication =\> :login  
}

when i write to run application on console : ruby script/server

Got the message on console and application could not started.

Pls, help me as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.
