Cannot send mail in adminlte with codeigniter

A common issue!

When using AdminLTE with CodeIgniter, you may encounter issues sending emails. Here are some common solutions to help you resolve the problem:

  1. Check your email configuration: Make sure your email configuration is correct in your CodeIgniter application. You can do this by checking the email.php file in the config folder. Ensure that the smtp_host, smtp_user, smtp_pass, and smtp_port settings are correct.
  2. Verify your email settings in AdminLTE: Check the email settings in your AdminLTE configuration file (config/email.php). Ensure that the smtp_host, smtp_user, smtp_pass, and smtp_port settings match your CodeIgniter email configuration.
  3. Use the correct email library: In your CodeIgniter application, make sure you're using the correct email library. You can do this by checking the email.php file in the libraries folder. Ensure that the CI_Email class is being used.
  4. Check for any errors: When sending an email, check for any error messages that may be displayed. You can do this by using the print_r function to print the error message, like this:
    $email = &get_instance()->email;
    $email->send();
    print_r($email->error());

    This will print any error messages that may be occurring during the email sending process.

  5. Check your email server settings: Ensure that your email server settings are correct. You can test your email server settings by using a tool like telnet to connect to your email server and send a test email.
  6. Check for any conflicts with other libraries: If you're using other libraries or plugins that may be interfering with the email sending process, try disabling them temporarily to see if the issue resolves.
  7. Check the email sending function: Make sure the email sending function is being called correctly. You can do this by checking the code that sends the email and ensuring that it's being called correctly.

If none of these solutions work, please provide more details about your CodeIgniter application, including the version, email configuration, and any error messages you're seeing. I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot the issue!
