Heroku Build Succeed but ----< Application Error> Code H10 Status 503 [duplicate] - heroku

Question

I have a RoR app working on my local computer, but when I send it to heroku, it crashes. The error log gives an error H10 & says:
2012-11-21T15:26:47+00:00 app[web.1]: from /app/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/newrelic_rpm-3.4.2/lib/new_relic/control/instance_methods.rb:95:in `start_agent'

Has anyone had this before, and know what might be causing the problem? I cannot find a solution.
Thanks.

Answer 1

I ran into the same error above, app was crashing on heroku (running fine in dev) but error logs on heroku were not revealing any clues. I read other answers on this page and broke out in a sweat after seeing "rebuilding the app." I figured maybe I could get in the heroku console and look around. I did and even the console crashed, but this time it told me why. It was some obscure variable I forgot to delete during a troubleshooting session hours earlier. I am not saying you will run into the same problem, but I found more info when I tried to go through the console.
$ heroku run rails console

Answer 2

I was having the same issue. Logs weren't giving me any clues either.
So I scaled down and scaled back up the dynos. This solved the problem for me:
heroku ps:scale web=0
Waited a few seconds...
heroku ps:scale web=1

Answer 3

$heroku run rails console
This is the best option since it will give you an error in your terminal which will be much more detailed than the 'app crashed' error in your Heroku logs.

Answer 4

$ heroku restart
helped me get my dyno running again. I'm new to Heroku but glad I know now.

Answer 5

this happened to me when I was listening on the wrong port
I changed my listen() to "process.env.PORT" so:
http.listen((process.env.PORT || 5000), function(){
console.log('listening on *:5000');
});
instead of
http.listen(5000, function(){
console.log('listening on *:5000');
});

Answer 6

Had same problem this evening. Not a very helpful error so I tried running in the console
heroku run rails c
it failed and gave me a much more helpful error. I had neglected to delete a method call in production. Once I fixed that, the app worked fine.

Answer 7

I solved this problem by pushing to Git:
git add .
git commit -am "some text"
git push
then push to Heroku:
git push heroku
then rake db:migrate on Heroku:
heroku run rake db:migrate

Answer 8

If you're using Node, you can try running the serve command directly in the console. In my case I'm running an angular application, so I tried with:
heroku run npm start
This showed me the exact error during the application startup.

Answer 9

I managed to not include my .gitignore file -> that breaks heroku. #doh
Here is a working .gitignore file
/.bundle
/vendor/bundle/
/vendor/ruby/
db/*.sqlite3
/db/*.sqlite3-journal
/log/*
/tmp/*
**.war
*.rbc
*.sassc
.redcar/
.sass-cache
/config/config.yml
/config/database.yml
/coverage.data
/coverage/
/db/*.javadb/
/db/*.sqlite3
/doc/api/
/doc/app/
/doc/features.html
/doc/specs.html
/public/cache
/public/stylesheets/compiled
/public/system/*
/spec/tmp/*
/cache
/capybara*
/capybara-*.html
/gems
/specifications
rerun.txt
pickle-email-*.html
.zeus.sock
**.orig
.DS_Store
/nbproject/
.idea
/*.tmproj
**.swp
.env
.powenv
To create a .gitignore file, in terminal navigate to your apps directory and use the following command
touch .gitignore
Then you can open it up in a your text editor and put the above code into it.

Answer 10

In my case i was using ENV variables in my app, but it was not set in heroku config.
heroku console gave proper error:
heroku console
`validate_options': Missing required arguments: aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key (ArgumentError)
Then set the ENV config
heroku config:set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='key'
Restart the Heroku
heroku restart
it works!!

Answer 11

I was getting this same H10 app crashed error in Heroku. I clicked 'restart all dynos' in the heroku interface, and problem solved.

Answer 12

I had H10 with Heroku and Node due to wrong name of the main code file. Edit package.json:
{
...
"main": "correct_file_name.js",
...
"scripts": {
"start": "node correct_file_name.js"
}
}
Or rename the file.

Answer 13

In my case the Procfile I used was breaking everything. Heroku looks for Procfile and applies its settings when launching the app - clearly the dev settings I used didn't make any sense for the prod server. I had to rename it to Procfile.dev and everything started working normally.

Answer 14

Solution Worked for me, Try running the command: :
Heroku restart

Answer 15

See if you get
bash: bin/rails: No such file or directory
in logs while running (heroku logs -t) command if yes then please Run
bundle exec rake rails:update
Don't overwrite your files, in the end this command will create
create bin
create bin/bundle
create bin/rails
create bin/rake
push these files to heroku and you are done.

Answer 16

The root of the problem I was facing was due to not having a database. To resolve the problem I first exported my local database:
$ heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev
$ heroku addons:add pgbackups
$ PGPASSWORD=mypassword pg_dump -Fc --no-acl --no-owner -h localhost -U myuser mydb > mydb.dump
Then imported it into Heroku:
$ heroku pgbackups:restore DATABASE 'http://site.tld/mydb.dump'
The variables to replace in these examples are: mypassword, myuser, mydb & http://site.tld/mydb.dump. Note that I had to upload the dump to a temporary server.
Resolving all my problems I wrote up a quick guide on how to deploy Enki to Heroku, which can be found here.

Answer 17

I got the same above error as "app crashed" and the heroku app logs is not showing much info related to the error msg reasons. Then I restarted the dynos in heroku and then it showed the error saying additional curly brace in one of the index.js files in my setup. The issue got fixed once it is removed and redeployed the app on heroku.
Hope this will be helpful to someone facing the same issue.

Answer 18

After going through the entire list of answers I stumbled upon this website: https://status.heroku.com/ which details the current status/incidents with Heroku. Its always safe to check out for incidents before banging your head against the wall. For me, it was the attached incident report published on the above mentioned link that was causing the error.

Answer 19

I had the same problem, I did the following
heroku run rails c
It identified a syntax error and missing comma within a controller permitted params. As mentioned above the Heroku logs did not provide sufficient information to problem solve the problem.
I have not seen the application crashed message on Heroku previously.

Answer 20

I traced my problem back to the Puma server as did #Ahmed Elkoussy, but I solved just by commenting the following line on the puma.rb file:
# pidfile ENV.fetch("PIDFILE") { "tmp/pids/server.pid" }

Answer 21

I encountered the same problem today. I did heroku run rake db:migrate though I migrated the model before, and the app doesn't crash.

Answer 22

Be very cautious of copy and pasting code. Sometimes when you add a block into a file, it is formatted incorrectly and will yield an error.
I've had this problem before and got this error: unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting keyword_end

Answer 23

Had same problem. for me it was error in before_action filters(because empty DB)
Check your before_action filters, maybe they throw unhendled exeptions.

Answer 24

I had this problem when trying to run Rails in a subdirectory, and not in /. For example, I had Angular/Node/Gulp app running in /client and a Rails app running in /server, but both of them were in the same git repo, so I could track changes across the front end and back end. I got this error when trying to deploy them to Heroku. For anyone else having this issue, here is a custom buildpack that will allow running Rails in a subdirectory.

Answer 25

I had the same issue (same error on heroku, working on local machine) and I tried all the solutions listed here including
heroku run rails console
which ran without error messages. I tried heroku run rake db:migrate and heroku run rake db:migrate:reset a few times. None of this solved the problem. On going through some files that are used in production but not in dev environment, I found some whitespace in the puma.rb file to be the culprit. Hope this helps someone who has the same issue.
Changing this made it work
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection
End
to
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection
end

Answer 26

I ran into the same issue while deploying to Heroku (app crash). Logs did not indicate what the problem could be. Heroku console displayed syntax error in the code of an extra bracket. Surprisingly, I did not have an issue on local rails while running the app and hence missed it. After correction and git push to Heroku, the app started working on Heroku!

Answer 27

I updated my settings from
app.set('ip_address', process.env.IP || '127.0.0.1');
to
app.set('ip_address', process.env.IP || '0.0.0.0');
which i changed for Openshift hosting

Answer 28

I had the same issue when I started using Puma in heroku as per their guide page, this issue was solved when I commented the port line shown below
# port ENV['PORT'] || 3000
So, disabling the above line in the puma.rb in the config directory solved the issue
workers Integer(ENV['WEB_CONCURRENCY'] || 2)
threads_count = Integer(ENV['RAILS_MAX_THREADS'] || 5)
threads threads_count, threads_count
preload_app!
rackup DefaultRackup
# port ENV['PORT'] || 3000
environment ENV['RACK_ENV'] || 'production'
on_worker_boot do
# Worker specific setup for Rails 4.1+
# See: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/deploying-rails-applications-with-the-puma-web-server#on-worker-boot
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection
end

Answer 29

In my case I was performing git push heroku master when I am not on the master branch.
I had to go to master branch first, merge the code with my other branch and then git pushed.

Answer 30

I also encountered the same error. Adding a .gitignore file to my project resolved my issue.
My .gitignore file is here:
# Node build artifacts
node_modules
npm-debug.log
# Local development
*.env
*.dev
.DS_Store
# Docker
Dockerfile
docker-compose.yml
And I changed listen() function;
app.listen(5000, function() {
console.log("Server running on port 5000...");
});
I changed it to;
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000
...
app.listen(PORT, function() {
console.log("Server running on port 5000...");
});
