Unable to send activation email #23

The tracking website is not able to deliver activation email to the teams.

This might due to use of the development environment in the production. However, there is still an internal server error when I switch to production mode.

So for this year competition, I will create an account for each team using seed file beforehand.

TL;DR Go here and check the box.

The 500 error is due to Gmail's security settings. This guide shows how to solve this issue; specifically this link, which, once set, will allow "less secure apps" to access the email. This of course means we need access to the Gmail account in the first place.

I've tested a production build on my local machine, using my own email, and configuring that Gmail setting, and it works; the email is successfully sent.

However, it seems that the page doesn't redirect to the "please check your email for the activation link" page. production.log spits out a FileNotFound error too. I'll look into this tomorrow.

Okay so my previous FileNotFound error is gone. Everything works as usual. Oh well.
