So I have resolved this issue by reading comments on these posts:
- Different problem after installation from source code
- Installed Taiga according to the instructions, but it does not work. Error 500
So I had three problems:
- Nginx user wasn’t configured as Taiga
solved it by going to ‘/etc/nginx/nginx.conf’ and change the top line to ‘user taiga;’ - RabbitMq configuration problem:
solved by changing “amqp://rabbitmquser:rabbitmqpassword@rabbitmqhost:5672/taiga” to
“amqp://rabbitmquser:rabbitmqpassword@localhost:5672/taiga” as I was hosting this in localhost. changed this in
/home/taiga/taiga-events/.env
and
/home/taiga/taiga-back/settings/config.py
- Email configuration: even though I have configured all, the authentication post request was giving me http 500. then I configured the email smtp server and it worked fine.
make sure u set these values like-
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_USE_SSL = False
in */home/taiga/taiga-back/settings/config.py
hope this helps.
