How to fix " Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required "

2014

How i fix this issue?

Warning: require(/phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mysitedic/public_html/mailer.php on line 2

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mysitedic/public_html/mailer.php on line 2

and

Message could not be sent.Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

My SMTP settings are right but i don't know why this error coming

The error means the file it is looking for does not exist, it is currently looking in the root / and not its current location.

There is normally a config file or entry that you set to tell it the location of the script such as "/home/mysitedic/public_html/"

Verelox

It means that the file (PHPMailerAutoload.php) doesn't exist. Maybe the file is located in phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php instead of /phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php? If that's the case, the correct code would be:

require('phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php');

Basically, just include the correct path for the file and I believe it would work afterwards.

@Verelox Thank you very much.. Now coming

Message could not be sent.Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

Verelox

Did the fatal error go away? If so, I would check the SMTP settings - perhaps enabling debug mode might help as well. To do so, insert the following code before attempting to send the message (replace $smtp with the correct variable):

$smtp->SMTPDebug = 1; 

sdglhm

Have you opened your port. If not, that would be the case.

@Verelox and @sdglhm Here is code im using

 <?php
    require('phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php');

    $mail = new PHPMailer;
    //$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;                               // Enable verbose debug output

    $mail->IsSMTP();                                      // Set mailer to use SMTP
    $mail->Host = 'smtp.mandrillapp.com';                 // Specify main and backup server
    $mail->Port = 587;                                    // Set the SMTP port
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
    $mail->Username = '[email protected]';                // SMTP username
    $mail->Password = 'WJFu-3T1GFYS-17zTGGsA';                  // SMTP password
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                            // Enable encryption, 'ssl' also accepted

    $mail->From = '[email protected]';
    $mail->FromName = 'Your From name';
    $mail->AddAddress('[email protected]', 'Josh Adams');  // Add a recipient
    $mail->AddAddress('[email protected]');               // Name is optional

    $mail->IsHTML(true);                                  // Set email format to HTML

    $mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
    $mail->Body    = 'This is the HTML message body <strong>in bold!</strong>';
    $mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';

    if(!$mail->Send()) {
       echo 'Message could not be sent.';
       echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
       exit;
    }

    echo 'Message has been sent';
    ?>

century1stop

as far as I know mandrill requires dkim and spf setup, php mailer should not work, I think ;P

That's saying that the file PHPMailerAutoload.php is in a subdirectory called phpmailer.

Is it?

If not, fix the path so you script can find the PHPMailerAutoload.php file.

logixmedia

Please disable the API key you have posted here "$mail->Password = 'WJFu-3T1GFYS-17zTGGsA'; " in Mandrill. Some else can use it and you might get into trouble.

Disable and create a new one............

Not yet.. I Don't Know What It Is, but this problem is coming to new host.. Shared Host working this code well and when i refresh page email is going to inbox.. but not working for VPS

logixmedia

I am sure you might have done most of the troubleshooting listed in the following page, if not try some of them:

https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

Especially set the smtp debug mode to 3 or 4...

@2014 managing your mail server is not only about setting it up. Use Mandrill if you have no prior experience with that.

century1stop

shared hosting comes with mail server? ;P

He is using Mandrill as I see there

$mail->Host = 'smtp.mandrillapp.com';

i don't know, but i host all phpmailer file to my shared host... and its working

Yes.. After i moved all files to new host, this error coming

century1stop

guess you probably need a mail server, vps doesn't have it out of the box, only sendmail
did your host block port 25?

logixmedia

Then you should be using the Mandrill API....

Follow the instructions in this link:

https://mandrillapp.com/api/docs/index.php.html

I have done this couple of times and works neat....

Created a function as follows:

function mandrill_mail() {

        require_once('vendors/mandrill/Mandrill.php'); this should point to the location of the Mandrill file

                try {
                        $mandrill = new Mandrill('jd_dfsdf_sdVFEQ'); // API key

                        $message = array(
                            'html' => '<p>Something goes here</p>',
                            'text' => 'Some text',
                            'subject' => 'Subject text',
                            'from_email' => '[email protected]',
                            'from_name' => 'Senders name',
                            'to' => array(
                                array(
                                    'email' => '[email protected]',
                                    'name' => 'Receivers name',
                                    'type' => 'to'
                                )
                            )


                        );

                        $result = $mandrill->messages->send($message);
                        if ($result) {
                            $_SESSION['success'] = "It will be approved after verification.";
                            header('location: success.php');
                        }

                } catch(Mandrill_Error $e) {
                    // Mandrill errors are thrown as exceptions
                    echo 'A mandrill error occurred: ' . get_class($e) . ' - ' . $e->getMessage();
                    // A mandrill error occurred: Mandrill_Unknown_Subaccount - No subaccount exists with the id 'customer-123'
                    throw $e;
                }

    }
