Logging into Heroku Fails - shell access - shell

O.k. so maybe I'm missing something basic here, but when I run heroku login I get the usual email and password prompt.
At this point I would assume I'm logged into the Heroku dino just a I would using my local box.
Instead I get a message telling me I'm logged in, but I'm still on my local box.
Is there really no shell access for Heroku apps?

You can open a dynamic session with this command:
heroku run bash
However, please be aware that Heroku runs applications on dynos: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos

No, you can't directly access the Heroku dynos. You can run commands through the CLI, such as getting logs, adding add-ins, etc.
Logging in through the CLI, as you have done, is simply setting your credentials for Heroku locally. They are subsequently used for running commands so you don't always have to reauthenticate.

heroku login doesn't open a new terminal session like ssh would. Instead, it just remembers your profile so that when you call heroku with a different command (like heroku create to create a new app) you won't be prompted for email and password again.
You can also push your code to the app with git push heroku master once you are logged in.
You can do some hackery (like using this plugin) to ssh into your dyno, but that's not the way heroku is supposed to work. The idea behind heroku is that you just push your code there and it manages everything else for you.

"Error: unable to verify the first certificate" [Heroku]

Can someone help me out with this error. I am trying to login to my heroku account with heroku toolbelt but i keep getting this error.Any idea why ?
Try running 'heroku update' in terminal
once it is updated then try login in to your heroku account
In my case, an adblocking application filtered all my traffic. Even that of the console. To do this, it injects a certificate that the heroku app cannot verify. This is the right approach to prevent API traffic sniffing.
Once I prevented the filtering, everything worked fine again.
fix this is simply use the fullkey.pem when heroku asks for a cert

Delete one of the two app on the heroku account

I'm new to Heroku. I've mistakenly created second app on my account and now I can't execute heroku open command to see my app running on the server. I'm posting the screen of the error message. I need only the one named guarded-wildwood-67162. How can I delete other app - shielded-sea-53572?
To permanently destroy a Heroku app you can use heroku apps:destroy --app <app-name> or use the Heroku web interface. Note that this doesn't just disconnect the app; it completely destroys it.

How set permanent heroku directory permission

I am deploying an app to Heroku and give it permission to access upload folder. My problem is that it's resetting to a default permission when I quit Heroku bash and restart it. I want this permission to persist. Does anyone know how to do that?
You can't do that. When you run heroku bash, it creates one-off dyno with your application code, so it looks like you are connected to your application server, but in reality you are just connected to another temporary server. After disconnecting this server is killed.
If you want uploads on Heroku, you need to store them in some cloud storage like Amazon S3.

Configure APNS on Parse Server

I'm trying to migrate from Parse.com service to a self-hosted Parse Server, and it's been a bit difficult.
Basically I set up my server like this:
Run $ npm install -g parse-server
Set env vars (PARSE_SERVER_DATABASE_URI, PARSE_SERVER_MASTER_KEY, PARSE_SERVER_APPLICATION_ID)
Run $ parse-server
Everything is up and running, and I also setup a machine running parse-dashboard in a very similar way.
I had already synced the database and had no problems with it.
The problem is that when I try to send a push notification, I get the message:
Missing push configuration
I believe that's connected to the APNS settings. In Parse.com dashboard we can add the APNS certificates, but on the self hosted dashboard there is no such option (or I couldn't find it).
What am I missing? How do I set theses things up?
I believe that running parse-server without the recommended Express wrapper does not give me full control of everything I needed to configure the application.
I created an Express app, started the serving using the guide #thailey01 suggested and now it works.

Connect to a Heroku app after directory (and all other data) deleted on local machine

I lost all the data on my localmachine (Macbook Pro) and, to make matters worse, the repo for a Rails app hosted on Heroku has also been deleted on github. Since I lost all the data on my localmachine, whatever security keys I had installed have also been deleted so if I try to connect to Heroku it won't even recognize me. What can I do in this situation to download the app and export the database?
Are you still able to log into heroku.com? If so, you should be able to set up the heroku CLI again with a new public key. Then you should be able to use heroku git:clone APP to get the code from heroku.
With your database, there should be options for managing it on heroku.com or via the heroku CLI (e.g. heroku pg:pull if you're using postgres).
