i'm curerntly having a problem with sending mails from my local XAMPP server. i changed my sendmail.ini file with the following settings:
[sendmail]
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=465
smtp_ssl=auto
debug_logfile=debug.log
error_logfile=error.log
auth_username=myusername
auth_password=mypassword
force_sender=myusername
in my php.ini at the mail part i commented all lines except for this one:
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"
the error i get is the following:
Socket Error # 10060 Connection timed out.
the operating system i use is windows 8.1. On other computers who have the exact same xampp installation it works fine.
does anybody have an idea what could be the problem?
