讯息：fsockopen（）：无法连接至ssl：//smtp.googlemail.com：465（权限被拒绝）

Question

Email Sending failed from VPS. It works fine from my localhost but not working in live server. my code is given below.

   $config = Array(
        'protocol' => 'smtp',
        'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
        'smtp_port' => 465,
        'smtp_user' => 'my gmail email',
        'smtp_pass' => 'email password',
        'mailtype' => 'html',
        'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
        'wordwrap' => TRUE
    );

    $this->load->library('email', $config);
    $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

    $this->email->from('from-email', 'name');
    $this->email->to('to-email');
    $this->email->subject('Hello Test');
    $this->email->message('Hello Message');
    if ($this->email->send()) {
        echo 'send';
    }else {
        show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
    }

It works fine in localhost . In my VPS server, it shows error.

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning

Message: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://smtp.googlemail.com:465 (Permission denied)

Filename: libraries/Email.php

Line Number: 1990

Backtrace:

File: /var/www/html/company/application/controllers/Welcome.php
Line: 46
Function: send

File: /var/www/html/company/index.php

I also changed my smtp_port from 465 to 587 and 25 . It remains the same error.

How do I solve this?

Can anyone tell me, how do I check 465 port is open or not in the server? My VPS server os is: centos

Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

I try this, it's work for me. I hope it's work for you too

$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_crypto'] = 'tls';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'smtp.gmail.com';    
$config['smtp_port'] = '587';

Answer 2

My suggestion is you check on the ports, make sure your server firewall is permitting smtp . You might have to check on

• port 25

.
