XF 1.5 GMail Smtp SSL Could not open socket on an ubuntu XAMPP Server

[maplewang]

Hi, I have configured my ubuntu server to send via gmail smtp ssl port, but every time I have tried with Could not open socket fail.
if my smtp setup as TLS then:
failed: stream_socket_enable_crypto(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

I have tested on my ubuntu with command:
openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:465 -crlf -ign_eof
so it should works.

I have also disable firewall with command: sudo ufw disable

I think that is maybe xampp has php installed in /opt/lamp/bin and ubuntu itself has also installed a php version. I also add path to /etc/profile with: export PATH=$PATH:/opt/lampp:

my xampp is xampp-linux-x64-5.6.8-0-installer.run
/opt/lampp/bin/php -v

Still unlucky, is it because xenforo use php in system wide?

my error logs is:

zend send is okay, So PHP 5.6.8 can not work with xenforo 1.5.

I have tested with XAMPP and in that version, Zend SMTP can not work with SSL.

Never really understood why somebody uses a package like that.. when with most Linux distro's it's all available to you. The only exception I would recommend is if on a CentOS box, using CentMin Mod.

BTW, it DOES work with a normally set up server (where you set up your HTTP server, your SQL server, your PHP processor instead of depending on a package created by someone else to configure it all for you).

As for what PHP it uses.. whatever one the PHP processor for the HTTP server is configured to use (in this case, whatever one your XAMPP package has preinstalled/configured for you).

Also, if you are using a self-signed cert then that also will cause issues with the newer version of PHP. It's worth just spending the little bit of kaching for a real cert for the server.
