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

2014 · July 2015

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/"

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

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;

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';
    ?>

Still not working,., same error

century1stop · July 2015

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 · July 2015

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 · July 2015

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 · July 2015

shared hosting comes with mail server? ;P

He is using Mandrill as I see there

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

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

century1stop · July 2015

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 · July 2015

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;
                }

    }
