Email Configuration for Production

Issue

Email notifications for student and teacher creation are redirecting to localhost:8000 instead of your production Vercel URL.

Solution Implemented

Updated both notification files to use config('app.url') instead of hardcoded URLs:

  • app/Notifications/TeacherPasswordNotification.php
  • app/Notifications/StudentPasswordNotification.php

What You Need to Do

Step 1: Find Your Vercel Deployment URL

Your app is deployed at a URL like:

  • https://abs.vercel.app OR
  • https://abs-[your-project-name].vercel.app

To find it:

  1. Go to https://vercel.com/dashboard
  2. Click on your abs project
  3. Copy the production URL shown at the top

Step 2: Set Environment Variable in Vercel

Method A: Via Vercel Dashboard (Recommended)

  1. Go to your project in Vercel Dashboard
  2. Click Settings → Environment Variables
  3. Add a new variable:
    • Key: APP_URL
    • Value: https://your-actual-vercel-url.vercel.app (replace with your actual URL)
    • Environment: Select "Production"
  4. Click Save
  5. Go to Deployments tab and click Redeploy on the latest deployment

Method B: Via Command Line (if you have Vercel CLI)

cd /home/yoadyo/VScode/laravel/abs
vercel env add APP_URL production
# When prompted, enter your production URL: https://your-url.vercel.app
vercel --prod

Step 3: Update Local .env (Optional - for local testing)

Update line 5 in your .env file:

APP_URL=https://your-actual-vercel-url.vercel.app

Verification

After redeploying, when you create a new teacher or student:

  1. The email will be sent
  2. The "Login to Your Account" button will redirect to your production Vercel URL
  3. No more localhost redirects!

Example

If your Vercel URL is https://abs-yoadyo8120.vercel.app, set:

APP_URL=https://abs-yoadyo8120.vercel.app

The email login button will then link to:

https://abs-yoadyo8120.vercel.app/login
