Bluehost Hosting : Vtiger gmail doesn’t work
Bluehost is among our best web hosts . Sign up with bluehost here This is a bluehost question posted by quickcrx702 on 06 July 2009 I can’t seem to get this to work and I have been trying all day. In fact, I can’t seem to access gmail using ANYTHING. I am trying to test some stuff like vtiger, cerberus, sugarcrm etc. All three of those programs just time out when pointed to gmail. I have tried adding “ssl://” to pop.gmail.com, imap.gmail.com, and smtp.gmail.com, as well as adding the port number after such as pop.gmail.com:995. I have a dedicated IP and I put in a support ticket with bluehost just to verify the ports(465,587,993,995) are open. I tried doing “telnet pop.gmail.com:995″ and “telnet smtp.gmail.com 465″ …etc from my bluehost ssh console, and got “telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out”. Just to make sure they were not blocking telnet I did “telnet www.google.com 80″ and verified it was open from my bluehost ssh session. Doing the same from my home pc shows the gmail ports are open. Bluehost responded to my ticket and stated that all the ports are open except for 587, which isn’t really needed as 465 or 587 can be used for smtp. I am starting to think that the person who responded to me didn’t actually check and the ports are really closed. Does anybody here know how I can fetch emails from gmail from php scripts at bluehost, or at least another way to test for open ports to verify they are REALLY open?
