SMTP connect() failed.PHPmailer
Solution 1
You need full email address in your connection configurations:
$mail->Username = '[email protected]';
And if use TLS security protocol you need use:
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail-> Port = 587;
...
Or to SSL (that is deprecated status):
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail-> Port = 465;
...
Solution 2
Check your php.ini file, on it, if you have this:
;extension=php_openssl.dll
change it to
extension=php_openssl.dll

I have been trying to send email from my local host using PHPMailer but i cant fix this error
SMTP connect() failed.
I know there are suggestion for this kind of error but non i have tried seems to work for me. Here are my settings
$mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail->IsSMTP(); // we are going to use SMTP $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // setting GMail as our SMTP server $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enabled SMTP authentication $mail->Username = 'mygamil'; // user email address $mail->Password = "mypassword"; // password in GMail $mail->SMTPSecure = "tls"; // prefix for secure protocol to connect to the server $mail->SetFrom($this->session->userdata('email'), $this->session->userdata('username')); //Who is sending the email $mail->AddReplyTo("[email protected]",$this->session->userdata('username')); //email address that receives the response $mail->Subject = $subject; $mail->Body = $message; $mail->AltBody = $message; $destino = "[email protected]"; // Who is addressed the email to $mail->AddAddress($destino, "Sender name"); $mail->AddAttachment($file_path); // some attached files/ if($mail->Send() ==TRUE){ redirect('app/send/'.$this->uri->segment(3).'/succeeded '); } else { //show an error email failed erroers $email_error = array('email_error'=>$mail->ErrorInfo); }
I have tried with port 587 and 465 none of them seems to work but when i telnet to either of the ports i get connections without error
I have openssll.dill enable in my php.ini
i have tried this settings both in MAMP in my mac and in Ubuntu 12.04 and still i get the same error
Any input would be appreciated thanks in advance
