Automatic workflows don't get triggered

Hey, I'm trying to make workflows work (I've set up parallel workflow as in documentation, scheduler is set to active in episerver.config) and clicked ready to publish. I don't get any errors, but the email is not sent and I can't see the any active workflows in admin mode.

Since I don't get any errors, I've set up the diagnostics as per Mark's post: http://www.markeverard.com/2010/06/01/debugging-workflows-and-httpcontext/

I get this in the Visual Studio Output window:System.Workflow.Runtime.Hosting Information: 0 : SqlWorkflowPersistenceService OpenConnection start: 11/28/2014 09:03:56

System.Workflow.Runtime.Hosting Information: 0 : SqlWorkflowPersistenceService OpenConnection start: 11/28/2014 09:03:56
System.Workflow.Runtime.Hosting Information: 0 : SqlWorkflowPersistenceService. OpenConnection end: 11/28/2014 09:03:56
System.Workflow.Runtime.Hosting Information: 0 : SqlWorkflowPersistenceService.RetrieveExpiredTimerIds ExecuteReader start: 11/28/2014 09:03:56
System.Workflow.Runtime.Hosting Information: 0 : SqlWorkflowPersistenceService.RetrieveExpiredTimerIds ExecuteReader end: 11/28/2014 09:03:56

The time seems off for 1h. 

I am on IIS express.

Is there anything I am doing wrong? How do I get a more informative status?

The automatic workflow functionality doesn't work on test either.

Try to turn on log4net logging in namespace "EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation"

Hi Marlja,

Make sure you have a valid smtp server configured in your config file, it will try to send an email.

I usually set up a dummy local domain and use smtp4Dev http://smtp4dev.codeplex.com/ it is a great tool.

Cheers,

Paul

Bad luck for me while setting this up, I thought it was sth wrong with my setup of workflows. Instead, SMTP server was under maintainance. Thx a lot for your help!
