Swift_TransportException Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com

Question

I can\'t figure for the life of me why exactly is it failing.. this is the exact error I am getting:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception \'Swift_TransportExcepti         


        

Answer 1

My solution was to change:

  'driver' => 'smtp',

to

 'driver' => 'mail',

In app/config/mail

Hope that helps
