Have you set up your Mail service? You're telling Laravel that you're using Mailgun, have you set your environment variables?

Default password reset email not working
Hi
I've just managed to get Laravel/Homestead setup on my Mac and everything seems to be working well. However, I tried to use the reset password page that ships with Laravel and it doesn't seem to be sending an email with a reset link. Could someone advise? Here is the config/mail.php file:
<?php
return [
/*

| Mail Driver
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Laravel supports both SMTP and PHP's "mail" function as drivers for the
| sending of e-mail. You may specify which one you're using throughout
| your application here. By default, Laravel is setup for SMTP mail.
|
| Supported: "smtp", "mail", "sendmail", "mailgun", "mandrill", "log"
|
*/
'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp'),
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| SMTP Host Address
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here you may provide the host address of the SMTP server used by your
| applications. A default option is provided that is compatible with
| the Mailgun mail service which will provide reliable deliveries.
|
*/
'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.mailgun.org'),
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| SMTP Host Port
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This is the SMTP port used by your application to deliver e-mails to
| users of the application. Like the host we have set this value to
| stay compatible with the Mailgun e-mail application by default.
|
*/
'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 25),
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Global "From" Address
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| You may wish for all e-mails sent by your application to be sent from
| the same address. Here, you may specify a name and address that is
| used globally for all e-mails that are sent by your application.
|
*/
'from' => ['address' => 'support@mydomain.co.uk', 'name' => 'support@mydomain.co.uk'],
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| E-Mail Encryption Protocol

|

| the application send e-mail messages. A sensible default using the
| transport layer security protocol should provide great security.
|
*/
'encryption' => 'tls',
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| SMTP Server Username
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| If your SMTP server requires a username for authentication, you should
| set it here. This will get used to authenticate with your server on

*/
'username' => env('support@mydomain.co.uk'),
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| SMTP Server Password

*/
'password' => env('***hidden***'),
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sendmail System Path
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| When using the "sendmail" driver to send e-mails, we will need to know
| the path to where Sendmail lives on this server. A default path has
| been provided here, which will work well on most of your systems.
|
*/
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
/*

What do you mean by mail service? I have setup Mailgun and I'm using that successfully in other applications. I have also set my environment variables via the .env file. Is there something else I need to do?
Level 55
Mailgun is a Mail service, so yes, by the sound of things you have set that up properly.
Do you get an error? Have you checked the logs?
Level 1
No, there is no error and I have DEBUG enabled on Laravel.
Not sure how to check the logs on Laravel? But I have checked the Mailgun logs and there are no logs so there is no connection being made.
Level 55
Can you paste the non-sensitive parts of your .env file.
Also, when you dd( your environment) what do you get?
Level 1
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_KEY=xxx
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret
CACHE_DRIVER=file
SESSION_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_DRIVER=sync
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailgun.org
MAIL_PORT=25
MAIL_USERNAME=support@mydomain.co.uk
MAIL_PASSWORD=xxx```
Level 55
I have APP_ENV declared too at the top of mine, I'm not sure if I put it there now or not, but try it.
APP_ENV=local
Also, can you show the code where you are trying to send the email.
Level 1
Ah sorry I missed out that line when I copy and pasted. I already have that line there!
When you say dd(your environment) - how/where do I do that? Sorry but i'm new to Laravel.
Your help is appreciated :)
Level 55
You're welcome. Add this to your routes.php file:
get('env', function() {
dd(env('APP_ENV'));
});
Then go to /env and you should see "local".
Also, please show me the code where you are trying to send emails.
Level 10
you're using smtp not mailgun!
Level 55
As @arabsight says, change your MAIL_DRIVER to
MAIL_DRIVER=mailgun
Level 1
@mstnorris - I tried adding the code to routes then went to my app /env and it says "local". Also, i'm just using the standard reset password code to send emails (the one that ships with Laravel). I haven't changed anything on that side.
I have just changed my MAIL_DRIVER to "mailgun" and now Laravel is reporting an error:
FatalErrorException in MailgunTransport.php line 121: Class 'GuzzleHttp\Client' not found
Am I missing some files?
Level 55
Yes. Check the docs - http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/mail#configuration
API Drivers
Laravel also includes drivers for the Mailgun and Mandrill HTTP APIs. These APIs are often simpler and quicker than the SMTP servers. Both of these drivers require that the Guzzle 5 HTTP library be installed into your application. You can add Guzzle 5 to your project by adding the following line to your composer.json file:
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~5.0"
Level 1
Thanks @mstnorris and @arabsight. I switched it over to mailgun in the .env file, installed Guzzle and it worked!

@vanillasoftware if it's sorted, please mark as answered.
