Send mail from custom module magento 2

[sanaamini]

Hello,

I work on my localhost.
I created a module that contains the sending of a personalized mail.
I arrived at the execute function of my controller sendemail.php but I have this error:

There has been an error processing your request

Also can I successfully send mail from my localhost?

Thanks in advance!

Could you please show your full code which you have tried for now?

Also check in your var/log or var/report folder to check error.

How to send Transaction Mail from Magento 2, Refer Blogs with full details, Module for send Transaction Mail in Magento 2 

You can also send mail from a local server. you need to get an extension from link https://github.com/magepal/magento2-gmailsmtpapp

Install inside your project and follow steps which are defined in readme.php file in above module.

Have you upload extension for Gmail Smtp? In your controller i dont find any issue and log is not related to any issue its general purpose message for cache validate.

I have a problem here

I want to install this module but it has been already defined in '/var/www/html/myshop/vendor/magepal/magento2-gmailsmtpapp'.

But in my configuration -> system->advanced I can't find it..

I tried to delete it and save in app/code

I had this error

require(/var/www/html/myshop/vendor/magepal/magento2-gmailsmtpapp/registration.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/myshop/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php on line 60
PHP Fatal error:  require(): Failed opening required '/var/www/html/myshop/vendor/magepal/magento2-gmailsmtpapp/registration.php' (include_path='/var/www/html/myshop/vendor/magento/zendframework1/library:/var/www/html/myshop/vendor/phpunit/php-file-iterator:/var/www/html/myshop/vendor/phpunit/phpunit:/var/www/html/myshop/vendor/symfony/yaml:.:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/myshop/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php on line 60

[Rakesh Jesadiya]

You need to create folder like Magepal/GmailSmtpApp in your app/code folder and add all content of extension inside it.

Run upgrade and deploy command and after then you can check it.

[srenon]

To remove a module that is installed in /vendor you have to user composer (ie composer require magepal/magento2-gmailsmtpapp)

[MageryThemes]

Seems like the module files were not uploaded to the correct location.

If you want to have a better understanding of how Magento sends emails, you can check this article.

[Sunil Patel]

Hello,

you need to first remove module from app/code

then run below command from your root directory

composer require magepal/magento2-gmailsmtpapp

then do setup upgrade and static content deploy.

If it will work then mark as solution.
