SMTP Email configuration generate error about bookstack

Hi @Thomas-Lecuppre,

• Does your MAIL_PASSWORD contain any special characters?
• Can you share the output of running ls -al bootstrap/cache from your BookStack install directory?

Hi @ssddanbrown , thank you for your reply.

Of course my password contains specials characters (since it hasn't been mentioned in the docs that it shouldn't).
When I run your command it say there is no such file or directory.

I tried to set a password with no special character and it's seems to work well.
Maybe it can be mentioned in the wiki on this page :

Thank you for helping.

@Thomas-Lecuppre Do the special characters used include a space and/or hash?

[Thomas-Lecuppre]

@ssddanbrown @, # and *

@Thomas-Lecuppre Okay, then it was likely the hash causing trouble.
This is something mentioned at the top of the env file:

BookStack/.env.example

Lines 6 to 7 in 493d802

	# NOTE: If any of your values contain a space or a hash you will need to
	# wrap the entire value in quotes. (eg. MAIL_FROM_NAME="BookStack Mailer")

Since you've managed to find and address the issue here I'll close this off.
