SMTP -> Error: failed to connect to server:

[dapcigar]

Have actually tried this mailer on localhost and it worked perfectly. Now am trying to use it on online but it's giving this error

SMTP-> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)

SMTP -> ERROR: Could not connect to SMTP host. Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP Host.

 

please how do i fix this?

 

 

include "classes/class.phpmailer.php"; // include the class name
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465; // or 587
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "hypropsict@gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "hyprops123";
$mail->SetFrom("hypropsict@gmail.com");
$mail->Subject = "Requisition Processed";
$mail->Body = "<b>Hello $firstname, your requisition has been processed and Approved.. <br/><br/>Come to the Account department to recieve your $text . <br/> Thank You </b>";

$mail->AddAddress($email);
 if(!$mail->Send()){
    echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}

First, you might want to hide the log in details for all to see...

 

Try adding the following: 

 

$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->Port = 587;

Before to try doing anything with this library, make sure the remote machine has installed a ssl php support itself.
