1042635 - [ReMo] Update dev and stage local settings.py

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: WebOps: Community Platform, task)

Description

[John Giannelos [:nemo-yiannis]]

Hi, we would like to make a couple of changes in settings/local.py of our dev and stage deployments:

* reps-dev.allizom.org
* reps.allizom.org

The changes are the following:

* Append 'database_email_backend' to INSTALLED_APPS
** If we already override INSTALLED_APPS in local.py we need just to append 'database_email_backend' to the list. [1]
** Else we need to do a similar change to this [2]
* Change EMAIL_BACKEND to 'remo.base.utils.DevEmailBackend'
** EMAIL_BACKEND = 'database_email_backend.backend.DatabaseEmailBackend'

There is an example setup in our local.py-dist [3]

Thank you!

back in bug 1009479 we added the following config...

 INSTALLED_APPS = base.INSTALLED_APPS + ['database_email_backend']
 EMAIL_BACKEND = 'database_email_backend.backend.DatabaseEmailBackend'


can you please provide a sample of what this should be changed to? it wasn't that clear to be in your description.

Really sorry for that, I totally messed the old setup with the new :)
What we need to change is only this:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'remo.base.utils.DevEmailBackend'

Verified it in stage. Email backend seems to be working as expected.
