Heroku customer service isn’t available today due to the holiday. I was wondering if anyone knows how I might troubleshoot this. I have expanded logging enabled.

    If nothing appears in the logs it is likely that your app has some sort of issue starting up.

    Try running it in production mode locally, see if anything generates an exception when starting up the server.

    rails server -e production
