Amazon SES SMTP string does not work #1217

Open aravindet opened 8 years ago

aravindet commented 8 years ago

My SMTP URL is smtp://AKIA<aws smtp user>:<base 64 password>@email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com:465. Attempting to send a test email gives an Internal Server Error with the following stack trace in the logs:

dig email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com on the server running sandstorm resolves to the correct IP.

Hi Aravind,

Thanks for noticing this and reporting it.

Sometimes this happens when Sandstorm can't resolve any hostnames. This relates to Sandstorm's self-containerizing and how it interacts with /etc/resolv.conf. So first, some quick questions:

What is the output of these two commands:

sandstorm --version

ls -l /etc/resolv.conf

on your system?

Sandstorm version 132

and

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Mar 25  2015 /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf

where the symlinked file is

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 210 Oct 20 10:16 /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf

I started sandstorm as root*, and ps gives me:

root      7330     1  0 Dec01 ?        00:00:00 service sandstorm start
root      7331  7330  0 Dec01 ?        00:00:00 service sandstorm start
root      7332  7330  0 Dec01 ?        00:00:00 service sandstorm start
sandsto+  7333  7332  0 Dec01 ?        00:00:00 service sandstorm start
root      7396  7332  0 Dec01 ?        00:00:00 service sandstorm start
sandsto+  7397  7332  0 Dec01 ?        00:00:47 /bin/node sandstorm-main.js

Perhaps relevant: I installed sandstorm with the bash install script from your server but I may have been logged in as root at the time. Everything under /opt/sandstorm is owned by root.

sandstorm start as root works, but as a regular user it gives me:

*** Uncaught exception ***
sandstorm/util.c++:55: failed: open(name.cStr(), flags, mode): Permission denied; name = ../var/pid/sandstorm.pid
stack: 0x4fa730 0x4fa6d9 0x4fa6ca 0x43ca41 0x43d6c5

Not sure if that is expected behavior.
