Heroku, Ruby on Rails, GitHub

  1. I get the following message after I have run ‘$git push heroku
    master’ at the command line:

This is the message:

An error occurred while installing sqlite3 (1.3.8), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.8' succeeds before
bundling.

!
! Failed to install gems via Bundler.
!
! Detected sqlite3 gem which is not supported on Heroku.
! SQLite on Heroku | Heroku Dev Center
!

! Push rejected, failed to compile Ruby app

  1. Prior to running ‘$git push heroku master’, I ran ‘$heroku create’,

which gave me the following url:

http://stark-fjord-8580.herokuapp.com/

  1. In my browser this message was generated, before I ran ‘$git push
    heroku master’

Heroku | Welcome to your new app!
Refer to the documentation if you need help deploying.

  1. I have commented #out the sqlite3 gem in my gemfile and I have run
    ‘$bundle’

  2. I have yet to see Heroku work properly

  3. this is the final part of the error message:

To [email protected]:stark-fjord-8580.git
! [remote rejected] master → master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to ‘[email protected]:stark-fjord-8580.git’

Does anyone know what occurred and how I can fix this?

I thought that heroku made the substitution automatically for you. Dim
memory. Do they try anything like that?

Heroku doesn’t do SQLite. Use Postgres, at least in production.

I also recall that from a very long time ago, but AFAIK it hasn’t
been the case for quite a while.

What heroku does do is provide pretty good documentation on
how to deploy to their platform, e.g.

Getting Started with Rails 3.x on Heroku | Heroku Dev Center

which is the first result of googling ‘deploying rails app to heroku’
(and specifically discusses DB requirements) …
