I have created a Django app and deployed on to Heroku. I have a view which sends invitation to a new person. Everything is working fine on the local machine. After I deployed it on to Heroku with 

DEBUG=FASLE

in setttings.py

I'm getting an error Server Error (500)

here is what i have added in my settings.py file

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'youremail@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'yourpwd'
# lesssecureappas  - https://myaccount.google.com/u/2/lesssecureapps?utm_source=google-account&utm_medium=web
# cpatcha -- https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX = 'test'
SERVER_EMAIL = EMAIL_HOST_USER

I have even allowed access to captcha and less secure apps.

It is working fine for 24 hours on production when I grant access. The very next day it is rasing the same error. How to approach this issue. I have hardcoded the values instead of variables. Please suggest any ideas?

  • Simply turn the debug to true and see what's wrong. – Hisham___Pak May 14 '20 at 20:43

  • Your google account is locked, it may force you to change password. This is not programming question.

  • I have created a two-step verification for the app on Gmail. Now it is working. I will test this tomorrow and post if I find any issues. Thank you @iklinac – Bumblebee May 15 '20 at 01:08
