Bug when Changing root account email

[A Former User]

Hello!

I think I found a bug: No emails sent after changing the root email address.

Here is how you can reproduce:

1. Fresh install

2. I followed those steps:
   https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/discourse/#changing-root-account-email

So using the rails console, I changed the email:

3. So I did go to the website and connect to the discourse again. And this happened :
   

Nothing on my mail and nothing for now.

4. When I click on "Resend Activation Email", this happened:
   
   I checked on the browser for any errors and I got this:
   

So, at the end, I cannot change the email or do anything regarding the forum administration because of that.
I don't receive any email regarding the account too.

INFO:

It's a fresh install done 30 minutes ago. I tried to reinstall discourse and I still have the same issue. I'm on cloudron v7.6.4

Setting the SMTP email on your server under Cloudron settings and then try to reset the password. You will get the email from Discourse and bypassing the email activation process.

This is an upstream bug - https://meta.discourse.org/t/resend-activation-email-404-error/279428 .

Upstream bug is fixed in Discourse 3.2.0 (latest package)
