How do I deploy my RoR app on Heroku?

I’m going through the 4th edition of Agile Web D. With
Rails
. I tried to deploy my depot app on createadistro.com (hosted
by RS Hosting) but couldn’t figure out how to do so. I have been
directed to deploying on Heroku first, but I’m stuck.

I’m following the instructions on
http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/quickstart
. Everything is OK until it’s time to push my application onto
Heroku. My Heroku push is rejected, because no Rails or Rack app is
detected. The output is:

The authenticity of host ‘heroku.com (50.19.85.156)’ can’t be
established.
RSA key fingerprint is 8b:48:5e:67:0e:c9:16:47:32:f2:87:0c:
1f:c8:60:ad.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added ‘heroku.com,50.19.85.156’ (RSA) to the list

-----> Heroku receiving push
! Heroku push rejected, no Rails or Rack app detected

To [email protected]:stark-summer-7605.git
! [remote rejected] master → master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to ‘[email protected]:stark-
summer-7605.git’

WHAT’S WRONG? I’m sure that there’s one little step that’s left out
of the procedure. What is it?

very hard to diagnose, but try the following:

git add . -A
git commit -m “blah”
git push heroku master

all in your apps folder. Seems that some files are not in your git
repository, but that is just a wild guess.
