gmail smtp contact form on lamp hosted website

I have a LAMP server at home and in my website I added a php form using gmail smtp but Im not receiving any emails from the form. Do I need to add something to my server?
Im using the free contact form from this website http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com.

Thanks

 

Hi Silvester.

Have you configured the script and php.ini as described here:
http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com/use-smtp-email
?

 

Thanks for replying.

Yes I have configured the settings shown there. Still, emails arent being sent.

 

Silvester,

Have you enabled php_openssl.dll in php.ini?
Have you checked the error logs?

 

Im really sorry about this but Im new to php. All I did was setup the smtp settings from the admin panel.
How and where do I find the php_openssl.dll, php.ini or the error logs?
Thanks for your time.

 

Silvester,

Check the following URL: http://php.net/manual/en/openssl.installation.php
What OS do you use for your server?

 

Contact your hosting for support. They should be able to assist you the best.

I will take a look at that site. I am using ubuntu server v14.

 

I am hosting my site on my own server for now.
