laravel联机后出现内部邮件错误500

Question

my mail worked (and still works) perfectly on my localhost. Now ive put my project to a dedicated server. And now when i try to mail i get "internal server error 500" and nothing more of detail.

I kept the same details, and changed nothing.

When i create an error in mail mail template it gives there an error so it really loops trough the mail function.

some of my settings:

'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 465,
'from' => array('address' => "myemail@gmail.com", 'name' => "my name"),
'encryption' => 'ssl',

etc... now there is 1 setting that i dont know if it has to change:

'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',

and in my controller:

      Mail::send('emails.shop', $data, function($message) 
     {
         $message->to("anEmail@gmail.com", 'hi')->subject('Service formulier ');
    });

Someone knows whats wrong? (if needed i can give some more details)

i have a password and username set, but just didnt put it here, and it works on localhost with the password and username

update: tested with tls and port 587 and didnt work

update2:

the logs: [Wed Dec 03 19:24:52 2014] [error] [client 91.181.50.243] FastCGI: comm with server "/var/www/cgi-bin/php5-mywebsite-fcgi" aborted: idle timeout (30 sec), referer: “”mywebsite”” [Wed Dec 03 19:24:52 2014] [error] [client 91.181.50.243] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/var/www/cgi-bin/php5-mywebsite-fcgi", referer: “”mywebsite””

Answer 1

Have you tried with tls ? And also try with port 587 . And it looks like you are missing password.

Answer 2

ok so mail::Send is hanging. here is where you are going to need to get the server people involved. since depending on where it is hosted, etc. A common practice is to block outbound SMTP ports (especially on new/cheap accounts) as a way to mitigate spam problems. So I would ask the server hosting people about sending outbound email and see if they have any blocks in place
