I was learning about building web apps and putting them on Heroku.
I made a basic HTML website, which runs perfectly on the local server but it's showing "Application Error " on Heroku. I was initially using gunicorn (which was giving me an H10 error), then I later learnt that gunicorn was incompatible with Windows so I switched to Waitress WSGI. This time I am getting an H14 error code.
I tried heroku ps:scale web=1
and I am getting this error :
Scaling dynos... ! ! Couldn't find that process type (web).
I tried almost everything that's there on the internet, but sadly I am not able to get past the error and host my website. It's really frustrating.
This is my current Procfile: waitress-serve --listen=*:8000 website.wsgi:app
I have also tried waitress-serve --listen=*:8000 website.py:app, the errors were indistinguishable :(
This is my Heroku log output :-
2020-07-06T08:08:03.848586+00:00 heroku[router]: at=error code=H14 desc="No web processes running" method=GET path="/" host=brohan-wsite.herokuapp.com request_id=72a95aa5-8d84-486f-b036-dc738d9cc62c fwd="106.215.63.163" dyno= connect= service= status=503 bytes= protocol=https
You might need something like:
web: waitress-serve --port=$PORT website:app
Heroku defines the port dynamically, so hardcoding port 8000 won't work.
