I've tried changing the value of MAIL_MAILER, MAIL_HOST,MAIL_PORT, MAIL_ENCRYPTION, MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS, and MAIL_FROM_NAME in .env file according to the information in the mail.php file. but it's still didn't work.Can someone please help me to resolve this, thank you.
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailgun.org
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=myEmail@gmail.com \\ Gmail mail iD
MAIL_PASSWORD=myPassword \\ Gmail App generated password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=hello@example.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME=Example
Below link to generating an app password. https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en
MAIL_DRIVER=sendmail
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=mygmail@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=******
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
Localhost system MAIL_DRIVER=smtp was working fine, when you uploaded your project on cpanel then getting this error. So simple change in .env file
MAIL_DRIVER from smtp to sendmail.
