Getting error while sending mail from a in Laravel website.
local.ERROR: Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com [A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. #10060]
.env file
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com MAIL_PORT=587 MAIL_USERNAME=arafat@lasermedicalbd.com MAIL_PASSWORD=app_specific_password MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
Already googling but can’t get the solution yet. Whatever I change( PORT, DRIVER ) in .env file always shows the same error.
How to solve it !!
