How to fix [SocketException] Could not send email. Error in CakePHP - php

Question

I have been trying to get this Email code working in my CakePHP for ages now. It is meant gather data from a simple contact form and send an email to a specific address. For now I am simply trying to get the emailing sending.
When I load the page I get Could not send Email and when I look at the log I get [SocketException] Could not send email.
Also I have used the smtp settings in a different area for a reset password email that does work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my ContactController
<?php
App::uses('AppController', 'Controller');
App::uses('CakeEmail', 'Network/Email');
class ContactController extends AppController {
public function sendEmail()
{
/*$fname = $_POST['first_name'];
$lname = $_POST['last_name'];
$visitor_email = $_POST['email'];
$telephone = $_POST['telephone']; */
// $comments = $_POST['comments'];
$Email = new CakeEmail();
/* SMTP Options */
$Email->smtpOptions = array(
'transport' => 'Smtp',
'port'=>'465',
'timeout'=>'30',
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'username'=>'frankstoncsf#gmail.com',
'password'=>'xxxxxxx',
'log'=>true
);
$Email->template = 'resetpw';
$Email->from(array('frankstoncsf#gmail.com' => 'My Site'));
$Email->to('thomas.chambers5#gmail.com');
$Email->subject('Reset Your Frankson.net User Password');
$Email->sendAs = 'both';
$Email->delivery = 'Smtp';
// $Email->set('ms', 'hello');
$Email->send('hello');
set('smtp_errors', $Email->smtpError);
}
public function index() {
$this->sendEmail();
}
}
