I am using pusher in laravel to send notification but i'm getting following error:

{message: "Failed to connect to Pusher.", exception: "Illuminate\Broadcasting\BroadcastException",…} exception: "Illuminate\Broadcasting\BroadcastException" file: "C:\wamp64\www\notify\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Broadcasting\Broadcasters\PusherBroadcaster.php" line: 121 message: "Failed to connect to Pusher."

Unfortunately, there are several things that might cause this. The one that gets me over and over again, though is that the time on my server is out of sync with the allowance window from Pusher. This happens on one of my VMs when I sleep the laptop.

Check your logs, and check your VM system time. If it is more than a tiny bit out, this could be your issue.

To fix the time issue on a Linux server (and then try again), you can use NTP if you don't have another way:

sudo apt install ntpdate
sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
sudo timedatectl set-ntp on
sudo service ntp stop
sudo ntpd -gq
sudo service ntp start

:Thanks for the answer,I'm using windows and testing it on localhost. – user3653474 Aug 20 '20 at 16:50
No worries. But this is still a likely candidate - anything in the logs, or can you verify system time on the host? – Watercayman Aug 20 '20 at 16:51
I have verified the system time, should i us encrypted:false – user3653474 Aug 20 '20 at 16:56
OK. That's the one that gets me. There are a few other gotchas though. Here's a helpful link: https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/16478 It speaks to testing with encrypted:false - but that's only to test. – Watercayman Aug 20 '20 at 16:58
now i'm getting this error : message: "curl_setopt() expects parameter 2 to be integer, string given – user3653474 Aug 20 '20 at 16:59
