I have a project on heroku working fine. Now I want to create same project with different url (same code) as the one I have working now. So that I can give the new url to the customer as a 'test' site. I know in heroku i can just rename the url but I want to completely separate development from test (database wise). What is the be...

I am looking to refuse connections from inside a rack app. Now I currently do this in a middleware (lowest level) by simply checking: env['REQUEST_METHOD'] and if it one I don't desire I pass back either a 301 or a 404 etc... However I was wondering if there was a lower level mechanism for doing the same thing within rack itself? I kn...

Hi, I just deployed my Rails app to Heroku, but the Javascripts that were using Sprockets plugin don't work. I understood that, because my Heroku app is read-only, Sprockets won't work. I've found this sprockets_on_heroku plugin that should do the work, but I don't really get how to use it : I added config.gem sprockets in config/env...
I have a script file for parsing through a SQLite database. I now need to create a CRON job that will download and unzip said database from a third-party (already hosting as SQLITE). I understand this can be done using WGET and UNZIP, but given Heroku's read only file system, is this possible entirely in memory? Thanks. ...
I have configured my domain to heroku IPs 75.101.163.44 75.101.145.87 174.129.212.2 But it's not redirecting my app to my domain. The error says There is no app configured at that hostname. Perhaps the app owner has renamed it, or you mistyped the URL. Does each Heroku app have its own IP address? If so how to get the unique IP and ho...

Hi All, I am new to the world of Git, GitHub and Heroku. So far, I am enjoying this paradigm but coming from a background with SVN, things seems a bit complicated to me in the world of Git.

I'm interested as sometimes I get friends who are developers telling me about their Ruby deployments, and most of them are in large enterprises which are using Java mainly, but have some small projects in Ruby on Rails. ...
Attempting to pull my database from Heroku gives an error partway through the process (below). Using: Snow Leopard; heroku-1.8.2; taps-0.2.26; rails-2.3.5; mysql-5.1.42. Database is smallish, as you can see from the error message. Heroku tech support says it's a problem on my system, but offers nothing in the way of how to solve it. I...
I fired up a sample application that uses Amazon S3 for image hosting. I managed to coax it into working. The application is hosted at github.com. The application lets you create users with a profile photo. When you upload the photo, the web application stores it on Amazon S3 instead of your local file system. (Very important if you host...
A bad side of pushing to Heroku is that I must push the code (and the server restarts automatically) before running my db migrations. This can obviously cause some 500 errors on users navigating the website having the new code without the new tables/attributes: the solution proposed by Heroku is to use the maintenance mode, but I want a...

I have created two very simple heroku apps to test out the service, but it's often taking several seconds to load the page when I first visit them: Cropify - Basic Sinatra App (on github) Textile2HTML - Even more basic Sinatra App (on github) All I did was create a simple sinatra app and deploy it. I haven't done anything to mess wi...
I've seen that Heroku charges $15/mo to run Delayed Job, and $3/mo to run cron tasks daily. Is it possible to skip that entirely and run my own cron tasks manually? Or are they somehow figuring out that I'm running cron tasks? ...
