Setting up Gmail

sajanojha

Hello team, I am trying to set up an email (Gmail) however I am having an issue.
My email configuration is like this in the .env file
MAIL_DRIVER=SMTP
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=test@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=test
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=SSL

I get an error when I run the following command

php artisan config:cache
Configuration cache cleared!

In LoadConfiguration.php line 49:

  date_default_timezone_set(): Timezone ID '' is invalid

My timezone is set to APP_TIMEZONE=EDT in my .env file

and when I try to send an email, I get the following error

Error! Connection could not be established with host smtp.site.com :stream_socket_client(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known.

I have also turned on less secure app access;

Can you please guide what I am missing?
thanks

Hi @sajanojha,

Try to do these things,

Run php artisan cache:clear.
Run php artisan config:clear.

If possible restart your web server.

@devansh-webkul said in Setting up Gmail:

php artisan config:clear

didn't work what you suggested, I was able to configure it.
