Migrating to PHP7, cannot connect error

    Hi,

    I recently migrated to php7 and can no longer connect to smtp.

    Here is the error the test email produces:

    CLIENT -> SERVER: EHLO https://www.my-domain.com
    CLIENT -> SERVER: STARTTLS
    SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.CLIENT -> SERVER: QUIT
    SMTP ERROR: QUIT command failed:
    SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

    In between “smtp error: quit” and “smtp connect failed” I have a bunch of diamond shaped question marks. Not sure if it’s relevant.

    So far I have re entered all the credentials, changed the credentials to new credentials, uninstalled then reinstalled with new credentials, nothing has worked.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks

    Brad

  • Hi Brad @bradclarke365.

    To clarify, have you upgraded PHP version on the server where everything was working just fine and, after the upgrade, it stopped?

    Hey Alex,

    Correct, everything was fine on php5.6 and now that I have moved to php7 it’s creating that error. I built a new php7 server from scratch and migrated to it, if it makes a difference.

    You helped me a few weeks back and updated easy wp smtp to allow it to send from an alternative email. It was working great!

    Thanks

    Hey Brad @bradclarke365, sure I remember you ??

    I think your issue is not plugin-related, but rather your server-config related. For example, in order for PHP mail function to work, here are the requirements:

    https://php.net/manual/en/mail.requirements.php

    I’m not a server expect though, so this is just a wild guess.

    PS: Sorry for late reply, been busy with some offline stuff.
