Version 1.1.6 and SMTP issue

[tychoo]

Just setup 1.1.6 on a fresh Ubuntu install and am having issues getting SMTP to work:

Message on web server when sending a test mail:
Sending Message...

SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/ ... leshooting

This is a better subject for the phpmailer github or simply search Google. But after you find the solution, update your ticket here and mark it solved for others to find.

I know this is an old thread but I've literally spent hours trying to find the answer to this exact question.

The solution I used was to add the lines below to the /lib/functions.php file just under the line where $mail is first declared, see below.

Code: Select all

$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
        'ssl' => array(
        'verify_peer' => false,
        'verify_peer_name' => false,
        'allow_self_signed' => true
    )
);  

Afterwards I was able to send email without further issue.

Can you post this as an issue at https://github.com/cacti/cacti/issues ? Also post your fix.

However, it may already be resolved in 1.1.35 and the imminent 1.1.36 release.
