My Heroku app is created and it also runs in my big commerce store but I want to run in locally.
Basically, I want to get all file in local machine from Heroku app.
Please help..
Since you have access to git repository, you just need to clone it
git clone GIT_URL
then move into the app root directory
cd my_app
and then do
bundle install
now start the server
rails server
goto localhost:3000 from your browser..
Update
Since you have access to heroku, in the app dashboard goto settings near the bottom page you will find Heroku Git URL, clone that.
In a new empty folder just type this from cmd
git clone https://github.com/bigcommerce/hello-world-app-ruby-sinatra.git

I'm trying to learn Rails ( developpment beginner here )
When I try to deploy my first app on Heroku and execute $ heroku open I got
"The page you were looking for doesn't exist.”
In my Heroku control pannel I also have a second link who works, http://secret-refuge-2130.herokuapp.com/, but different from localhost.
Here's my first app https://github.com/Freysh/first_app
As Michael Hartl propose "Unfortunately, the resulting page is an error; as of Rails 4.0, for technical reasons the default Rails page doesn’t work on Heroku. The good news is that the error will go away (in the context of the full sample application) when we add a root route in Section 5.3.2."
You need to work on the Root route of your routes.rb in config folder.
Looks like you haven't pushed your repo to Heroku yet?
Since you're new, let me give you some ideas about how Heroku works, and how you can deploy your app to it...
Heroku
When you use Heroku, you basically get a bare git repo which you can push your application to. This repo will essentially allow you to use the following commands:
> $ git add .
> $ git commit -a -m "Your App"
> $ git push heroku master
This is, of course, only possible if you have added your heroku repo to your local remote repositories:
> $ git remote add heroku https://heroku.com/......
When you push your local repo to your Heroku one, Heroku then runs what's known as a buildpack:
When you git push heroku, Heroku’s slug compiler prepares your code
for execution by the Heroku dyno manager. At the heart of the slug
compiler is a collection of scripts called a buildpack.
Heroku’s Cedar
stack has no native language or framework support; Ruby, Python, Java,
Clojure, Node.js and Scala are all implemented as buildpacks.
This means that when you push your app to your repo, Heroku will endeavour to compile & run it for you. This is when the app will run.
Fix
To fix, you should follow the tutorial here
Basically, you need to get your git repo created locally, which will then provide you with the ability to push to your remote heroku repo
A little while ago the files on my Macbook Pro were deleted by Apple, including a directory from which I used to access Heroku and be able to do command line operations in the Ruby/Rails console. Now that the directory is gone, I'm not sure if it's possible to access this repository from the command line, which I need to do to reduce the size of my database to stay within Heroku limits.
Update
before the directory was deleted on my mac, I used to simply cd into that directory and then run something like bundle exec heroku run console or heroku run bundle exec console, anyways if I did it from that directory heroku knew which application i was trying to access and it would take me into the rails console for it (where I could manipulate data)
Install the Heroku toolbelt (it's unclear whether you still have that)
From the terminal, perform a heroku login to authenticate
From a directory where you want the new app to live, run heroku git:clone APP-NAME
You'll now have a directory, which will have the latest files you pushed to Heroku - which will allow you to do things like git push heroku master, or heroku run rails console.
You probably want to then also attach your git repo where you are storing your source code with something like git remote add origin git#github.com:whoyouare/app-name.git
From the Heroku docs:
You can also take an existing Git repo and add a remote using the git URL provided when you created your app. You may need to do this to associate a Git repo with an existing application. The heroku git:remote command will add this remote for you based on your applications git url.
$ heroku git:remote -a falling-wind-1624
This will add your Heroku repo with the remote name of heroku to your working directory.
please help me,
when I want to upload an rails app to heroku I do this sequence and works creating a new project on heroku
git init
git add .
git commit -m "init"
heroku create
git push heroku master
and then I get a new url like http://-somethingdiferent-.herokuapp.com each time that I need to deploy an project
I dont know how to use that project later without creating other new heroku project
I was thinking to use something like pull of git, but I dont know how is the pull on heroku, maybe -git pull heroku master? but in that case, how can I pull the same project?
please I will like if you know the sequence or any tutorial?
thanks
Try to create an app first
# run this command from the app folder to create a new app
$ heroku open --app the-app-name
# Add it to the remote
$ heroku git:remote -a the-app-name
# push app to heroku
$ git push heroku master
the-app-name shall be replaced by the application name.
one can find more useful stuff here.
I had the directory called A from which I deployed a Rails app to Heroku. Now, I moved this project on my localhost to another directory called B and from this B directory I would need to deploy the app to the origrinal Heroku app (to the same app where I deployed the code from A directory).
Is there any way to do that?
You'll need to add the git repo url to B.
git remote add heroku git#heroku.com:YOURAPPNAME.git
and git push heroku master would work.
As long as you moved the .git directory together with the rest of the files, there should be no difference and everything should work as before. If you don't have the .git directory, you will have to set the remote heroku url again.
I've configured the keys to my heroku, and I've gotten far enough to be able to commit and push onto my heroku server. But for some reason, commands like "heroku logs" or "heroku rake" or "heroku restart" bring up "no such file or directory" errors. Similarly, heroku restart -app "" bring up an "app not found!" even though I'd typed everything correctly.
I think this may have to do with my Github repo being stored and written on an external hard drive. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
An external hard drive will have nothing to do with this problem.
Make sure you are in your app.
cd myap
Then you need to create a repo and add your project to it:
git init
git add.
git commit -m 'master'
Then you need to create a heroku project:
heroku create
heroku rename myapp
git push heroku master
Make sure you have done all of that in that order.
Are you sure you are in the project folder that your application lives in. It doesn't matter where the project is as git and the project git config (including remotes) will all be local to the project folder iteself.
Also, you don't actually need to be in the project folder if you explicitly pass the application name,
eg;
heroku rake db:migrate --app myappnamehere
This also arises if you don't have your heroku remote not named heroku. Eg, I typically call my heroku remotes based off the environment eg, production, development. So my typical push looks like;
git push production mybranch:master
In this scenario when you issue a heroku command it is unable to locate the application name which is does by inspecting the git config for a 'heroku' remote so it will always say application not specified which is why you then need to pass it in explicitly via --app attribute.
