[[!meta title="Ruby on Rails: Fix the hostname does not match the server certificate error"]]
|
|
|
|
## The problem
|
|
|
|
If you encounter this problem when running Ruby on Rails:
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (hostname "localhost" does not match the server certificate)
|
|
|
|
it is likely due to
|
|
[ActionMailer](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionMailer/Base.html)
|
|
using the **smtp** as the ***delivery_method*** and
|
|
your local mail server supporting TLS/SSL,
|
|
but not having a correct/valid certificate.
|
|
|
|
## The solution
|
|
|
|
You can add a valid certificate, but if the server is just used
|
|
for sending out mails, this may not be suited.
|
|
In that case, you can change the ***delivery_method*** to
|
|
**sendmail**, which makes ActionMailer use the sendmail
|
|
binary directly.
