Configure Gmail as SMTP in Xampp to send mail -Got Error.Why?
email, gmail, php, xampp
Solution
since you are using xampp it would be easier to use phpmailer script:
PHP-Mailer script
and if you insist on using xampp you should set: smtp_ssl = ssl
and configure the sendmail.ini so that it connects with your @gmail.com account credentials. or it will not be able to connect.
Problem
I am following this instruction and I got the same error like a first user comment.And I dont know how to fix this error. Short notes what I did. 1.Change the sendmail.ini and php.ini settings for sending mail 2.Put the dlls on the send mail folder 3.Put my username and password from my gmail account ``` smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com smtp_port=465 ; SMTPS (SSL) support ; auto = use SSL for port 465, otherwise try to use TLS ; ssl = alway use SSL ; tls = always use TLS ; none = never try to use SSL ;smtp_ssl=auto smtp_ssl=tls default_domain=brettshaffer.com error_logfile=error.log ``` Tried both tsl and ssl same error.Error is below. ``` 10/12/07 18:03:36 : Connection Closed Gracefully. ``` Updated ``` auth_username=myname@gmail.com auth_password=mypassword ``` I already put there and also I put two ssl dlls for that SSL connection ``` libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll ```
