Confluence-Send test email NameNotFoundException

[Bahar Çağlar]

I am trying to send test email in confluence but I am getting the below error. How can I fix it?

Thanks for answers

An error has occurred with sending the test email:

It cannot be done from administration panel. You should write it directly to the file as follows.

This problem has solved yet.

I had the same problem and noticed a trailing space in the JDNI text and once I removed it, it worked. Giuliano's post helped, thanks.

You should change the settings from server.xml manually.

Cheers :)

Hello,

Looking through your Stack Trace, this problem could be related to your resource name and JNDI name.

You must name your JNDI path according to the resource name in your server.xml. In this case:

mail/GmailSmtpServer. Therefore, my JNDI path would be java:comp/env/mail/GmailSmtpServer.

Cheers

JDNI path is java:comp/env/mail/JiraGMailServer. I tried also java:comp/env/mail/GmailSmtpServer. It gives the same error.
