Question

I keep getting the error “not authorized” whenever i try to visit:

appname.herokuapp.com/admin_data

I’ve created an admin.rb file with

AdminData.config do |config|
    #comment
    config.is_allowed_to_view = lambda {|controller| return true if (Rails.env.development? || Rails.env.production?) }
end

(I know the above following has a safety issue but I’m just trying to get it work before I check for administration.)

I’ve tried

bundle exec rake assets:precompile

and also

RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompile

prior to pushing to heroku but i can’t seem to get past that error.

I’ve followed the instructions from

https://github.com/bigbinary/admin_data

but can’t seem to get it to work on production.

On my development machine it works.

http://localhost:3000/admin_data shows everything belonging to my dev environment.

Answer 1

Are you certain that your heroku instance is in production mode? Sometimes instances on Heroku are configured as staging.

Try this:

heroku config --app your_app_name

This will return the config variables of your instance. You will see a variety of config variables. Look for these:

RACK_ENV             => production
RAILS_ENV            => production

Are they set to production or staging?
