I am trying to deploy my app on Rails for the first time using Heroku.
I have spent quite a lot of time but there's a gap somewhere.
Git: created private repo, pushed to git successfully
Heroku: created free app and pushed successfully (but app 'crashes')
Local:
rake db:schema:dump #success
rake db:schema:load RAILS_ENV=production #failure: production database is not configured
rake db:create db:load RAILS_ENV=production #failure: undefined method '[]' for nil:NilClass
active_record/railties/databases.rake:59:in 'rescue in create_database'
active_record/railties/databases.rake:39:in 'create_database'
My database.yml file:
defaults: &defaults
adapter: mysql
username: root
password: password
host: localhost
development:
<<: *defaults
database: project_dev
test:
<<: *defaults
database: project_test
Just added:
production:
<<: *defaults
database: project_production
I may be making a total rookie mistake. Do you know where I might be going wrong?
Use the command heroku rake db:schema:load, which simply executes the command rake db:schema:load on Heroku's environment.
You do not need to worry about the database environments are they are automatically configured by Heroku on the compilation of the slug.
