[Mailhog in Laragon] #email #laragon #laragon

sample.md

1. Download MailHog: https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog/releases/download/v1.0.0/MailHog_windows_amd64.exe
2. Rename it to MailHog.exe
3. Move it to `C:\laragon\usr\bin\MailHog.exe
4. Open Laragon's Procfile (Menu > Laragon > Procfile) and add these lines:

  MailHog: MailHog.exe autorun
  MailHog Admin: http://localhost:8025 autorun

5. Open F:\laragon\bin\php\php-7.1.14-Win32-VC14-x64\php.ini

  SMTP = localhost
  smtp_port = 1025
  sendmail_path="F:\laragon\usr\bin\MailHog.exe sendmail"

6. Laragon settings, turn OFF Mail Catcher
7. Restart Laragon
8. Run "F:\laragon\usr\bin\MailHog.exe" and keep this open for the emails to be captured.
9. Launch http://localhost:8025/ which will only work when 8 is running.

From the command line you can check if MailHog is till running:

tasklist | findstr /i /c:"MailHog.exe"

The output will be similar to:

MailHog.exe                   9360 Console                    1     11,188 K

To kill the process:

taskkill /im mailhog.exe /f

Which will output similar to:

SUCCESS: The process "MailHog.exe" with PID 9360 has been terminated.

This is dependent on the process being started as an administrator, you may need elevated privileges to stop it.

This was very helpful but I'm getting this error 0
Message: Connection could not be established with host "mailhog:1025": stream_socket_client(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo for mailhog failed: No such host is known. Mailhog is the process working with that port 1025 so I don't know why the error persists.
Any help?

See my blog on How to set up Laragon on a new Windows computer (part 5) - MailHog which includes adding mailhog to the hosts file.

Alternatively, see how to install mailpit on Windows and integrate with Laragon

@Pen-y-Fan Okay, I'll check both out. Thanks alot
