Unable to send emails in Laravel using Swift Mailer - proc_open() function disabled by the provider

Question

My web host disabled proc_open function in php and I can\'t send emails anymore.

I get this error log:

> proc_open() has been disab         


        

Answer 1

Check and changes are your php.ini has this line.

disable_functions = exec,system,dl,passthru,chown,shell_exec,popen,proc_open

Check this a list of functions disabled by safe mode here.

UPDATE
Once you found that, follow below instruction: Remove the proc_open from the disable_functions at php.ini file

OR

Ask your hosting provider to remove the string above if you don't have an access/right to do that.
