Question

I am having problems deploying a Rails app to Heroku, I can’t even run the Heroku console! (see below for the response I get from terminal)

I’m pretty new to rails and programming in general, so I don’t really understand what the problem is here, would really appreciate some assistance!

Here is config/environments./production.rb, I commented out line 3 as I thought that might be the issue, but I get the same problem whether it’s commented, uncommented or deleted completely!

Pingpong::Application.configure do

# /opt/local/bin/convert


# Settings specified here will take precedence over those in config/application.rb

# The production environment is meant for finished, "live" apps.
# Code is not reloaded between requests
config.cache_classes = true

# Full error reports are disabled and caching is turned on
config.consider_all_requests_local       = false
config.action_controller.perform_caching = true

# Specifies the header that your server uses for sending files
config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = "X-Sendfile"

# For nginx:
# config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = 'X-Accel-Redirect'

# If you have no front-end server that supports something like X-Sendfile,
# just comment this out and Rails will serve the files

# See everything in the log (default is :info)
# config.log_level = :debug

# Use a different logger for distributed setups
# config.logger = SyslogLogger.new

# Use a different cache store in production
# config.cache_store = :mem_cache_store

# Disable Rails's static asset server
# In production, Apache or nginx will already do this
config.serve_static_assets = false

# Enable serving of images, stylesheets, and javascripts from an asset server
# config.action_controller.asset_host = "http://assets.example.com"

# Disable delivery errors, bad email addresses will be ignored
# config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false

# Enable threaded mode
# config.threadsafe!

# Enable locale fallbacks for I18n (makes lookups for any locale fall back to
# the I18n.default_locale when a translation can not be found)
config.i18n.fallbacks = true

# Send deprecation notices to registered listeners
config.active_support.deprecation = :notify
end

/app/config/environment

# Load the rails application
require File.expand_path('../application', __FILE__)



# Initialize the rails application
Pingpong::Application.initialize!

The problem is line 3. Make sure you have committed your changes and then push them to Heroku.
