fsockopen errors with SSL

Question

Well I have a code that in wamp server php 7.3.1 always works. When I went up to a hundred running CWP7 php 7.3.2 the same code doesn’t work

$config['Protocol'] = "smtp";

    $config['smtp_host'] = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
    $config['smtp_port'] = "465";
    $config['smtp_user'] = "[email protected]";
    $config['smtp_pass'] = "xxxxx";
    $config['charset'] = "utf-8";
    $config['mailtype'] = "html";
    $config['newline'] = "\r\n";




    $this->ci->load->library('email');

    $this->ci->email->initialize($config);        
    $this->ci->email->to($email);
    $this->ci->email->message($messagem);


    $this->ci->email->bcc("xxxx");
    $this->ci->email->from('xxxx', 'xxxx');
    $this->ci->email->subject($titulo);
    $res = $this->ci->email->send();
    echo $this->ci->email->print_debugger();

There loose is error message:

Message: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://smtp.googlemail.com:465 (Network is unreachable)

In CWP you have according to php the openssl module is there.

J [I looked for several solutions and found no... Does anyone have any idea what I can try?

Answer 1

I ended up finding the reason as I had enabled the firewall ports 465 and 587 were blocked so I went to the CWP firewall and enabled the exit traffic through ports 465 and 587. Before it was only allowed entrance traffic by them.
