I am unable to reset password instructions on my ruby on rails web application

I am almost done with a Ruby web application which is a forum. I have only one trouble: When a user is sent reset password instructions and clicks on "forgot my password", I see this error: 

Showing C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/devise-3.4.1/app/views/devise/mailer/reset_password_instructions.html.erb where line #5 raised:

Missing host to link to! Please provide the :host parameter, set default_url_options[:host], or set :only_path to true

What can I do?

Looks like you need to specify your host in your environments. So, say in your production.rb file, you would need something like this:

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: www.yourhostname.com }

and in development.rb, something like this:

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: "dev.yourhostname.com" }

and so on for for your test environment.

Some info from the docs.

Your error message is:

Missing host to link to! Please provide the :host parameter, set default_url_options[:host], or set :only_path to true

In config.action_mailer.default_url_options, you need to set a :host parameter, so the server knows how to link back to itself. The server doesn't know its domain name or IP address to use.

So in your config/production.rb try setting something like this:

config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'www.example.com' }
