I am trying to send mail to the user through flask-mail. This code shown below works fine on the localhost. But when I deployed my flask app to AWS Elastic Beanstalk and use the send_reset_email function, it throws me Internal Server Error. Where should I change my code? Any help will be appreciated.
My config code:
application = Flask(__name__)
application.config['SECRET_KEY'] = '-------'
application.config["MONGO_URI"] = "mongodb+srv://------"
mongo = PyMongo(application)
db = mongo.db
bcrypt = Bcrypt(application)
application.config['MAIL_SERVER'] = 'smtp.googlemail.com'
application.config['MAIL_PORT'] = 587
application.config['MAIL_USE_TLS'] = True
application.config['MAIL_USERNAME'] = '----'
application.config['MAIL_PASSWORD'] = '----'
mail = Mail(application)
My function file:
def get_reset_token(username, expires_sec=1800):
s = Serializer(application.config['SECRET_KEY'], expires_sec)
return s.dumps({'user': username}).decode('utf-8')
def verify_reset_token(token):
s = Serializer(application.config['SECRET_KEY'])
try:
username = s.loads(token)['user']
except:
return None
user = db.user.find_one({ 'username' : username })
return user
def send_reset_email(user):
token = get_reset_token(username=user['username'])
msg = Message('Password Reset Request',sender='----',recipients=[user['email']])
msg.body = f'''To reset your password, visit the following link:
{url_for('reset_token', token=token, _external=True)}
If you did not make this request then simply ignore this email and no changes will be made.
'''
mail.send(msg)
