SocketError (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known):

Once pushed to heroku I receive this error upon trying to create a friendship... I believe the prob has to do with the actual sending of emails... But I'm not sure.. Anyone have any ideas? I have googled this for days and can not figure out what to do..

Any info on how to change Sockets would be helpful or a direction where I can find more info... Thanks,

Daniel

All my code matches the treebook app... Also everything works on localhost

Hey Daniel,

Try installing the Sendgrid addon in order to send emails on Heroku https://addons.heroku.com/sendgrid. Sorry about that! We'll need to address this in the videos.
