Gitlab no mail / register user

Question

I am having problems setting up my mail to work with Gitlab 6, so I want users to be able to register for an account and assign their own password instead of receiving a temporary password by mail.

The changes I made:

/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml:

`signup_enabled: true` 

But if I access Gitlab in a browser, it still redirects me to the "Login" page, and I cannot "Register" or register a new account. Is something missing?

Thanks!

After making the changes, you must restart the GitLab server.
