django user registration error with django_rest_auth package

i used django rest auth in my project,but i get these error when i try to create a new user

[WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Solution

  • django_rest_auth use django-allauth package to do some tasks like send an email confirmation after registration. This problem may occur when django try to send this email. You must configure a SMTP backend (check this), otherwise this error will continue.

    For development purposes you cant set some variables from django-allauth in your settings.py file to disable email verification

    ACCOUNT_CONFIRM_EMAIL_ON_GET = True # E-mail address is automatically confirmed by a GET request
ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = 'none' # Allow logins with an unverified e-mail address
