Hi @sanjh,

This is a problem with your MySQL server; I’d suggest checking your server’s error logs to see if more information appears there. Alternately, you may have to extend your MySQL timeouts to permit longer queries/sessions.

OK. apart from mysql server problem, are there any changes to be done in config.inc.php for sending the mail,? I mean in terms of SMTP server settings.

Hi @sanjh,

there is a section Email Settings in the config.inc.php see the documentation on how to enable SMTP. The docs are for 2.3.3 but still valid for 2.4.x

Hope this helps
