Hi Vivek,
Please change your roller-custom.properties file. It should be look like
installation.type=auto
database.configurationType=jndi
database.jndi.name=jdbc/rollerdb
mail.configurationType=jndi
mail.jndi.name=mail/Session
Location is correct. It should be in <TOMCAT6.0_HOME>\lib.
Also add database settings in context.xml file like if you are using MySql
database (Otherwise change accordingly)
<Context path="/roller"
docBase="G:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat
6.0/webapps/roller" debug="0">
<!--ResourceLink global='jdbc/rollerdb' name='jdbc/rollerdb'
type="javax.sql.Datasource"/-->
<Resource name="jdbc/rollerdb" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/rollerdb"
username="root"
password="root"
maxActive="20" maxIdle="3" maxWait="3000" />
<Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container" type="javax.mail.Session"
username="ad...@gmail.com" password="admin123!"
mail.debug="false"
mail.user="ad...@gmail.com"
mail.password=" admin123!"
mail.smtp.from="ad...@gmail.com"
mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
mail.smtp.port="465"
mail.smtp.host="smtp.gmail.com"
mail.smtp.auth="true"
mail.smtp.starttls.enable="true"
mail.smtp.socketFactory.port="465"
mail.smtp.socketFactory.class="javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"
mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback="false" />
</Context>
Your Location for this file is also correct. It should be in
<TOMCAT6.0_HOME>\webapps\roller\meta-inf
Hope with these setting it will work for you as it did for me. And I am
thankful to Alfonso Romero for this!
Thanks,
--Vikas

roller-custom.properties is in <TOMCAT6.0_HOME>\lib but now I have modified
it. Instead of specifying the mail configuration in roller-custom.properties
I have specified it in context.xml on location
<TOMCAT6.0_HOME>\webapps\roller\meta-inf. Contents of
roller-custom.properties are now -
installation.type=manual
database.configurationType=jdbc
database.jdbc.driverClass=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
database.jdbc.connectionURL=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myrollerdb
database.jdbc.username=scott
database.jdbc.password=tiger
mail.configurationType=jndi
mail.jndi.name=mail/Session
And contents of context.xml is -
<Context path="/roller"
docBase="/user/local/apache-roller-4.0/webapp/roller" debug="0">
<Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container" type="javax.mail.Session"
username="ad...@gmail.com" password="admin123"
mail.debug="false"
mail.user="ad...@gmail.com"
mail.password="admin123"
mail.smtp.from="ad...@gmail.com"
mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
mail.smtp.port="465"
mail.smtp.host="smtp.gmail.com"
mail.smtp.auth="true"
mail.smtp.starttls.enable="true"
mail.smtp.socketFactory.port="465"
mail.smtp.socketFactory.class="javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"
mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback="false" />
</Context>
Roller is now picking the right port but the exception remain same.
javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host:
smtp.gmail.com, port: 465;
