The page you were looking for doesn't exist - heroku+rails

Question

Good day. I am trying to deploy rails-application on heroku according to Hartl's book Ruby on Rails tutorial. I did $ git push heroku master and it was done correctly. But when i use $ heroku open there is a text

`The page you were looking for doesn't exist.

You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved. When I start rails locally with $ rails s there are no mistakes and 127.0.0.1:3000 works nicely. But if I use $ rails s -e production there is a similar mistake

The page you were looking for doesn't exist. You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved.

Btw, according to similar's issues I tried to change

config.assets.compile = true

It's just created project with rails new. There is the same message if I try to get another pages.

Solution

I just ran into some similar issues a few weeks ago - it could be many things but here are some things that I forgot when doing this for the first time

Migrate your prod db heroku run rake db:migrate

make sure heroku has your precompiled assets - rake assets:precompile and push again to heroku

Also, check this section, Hartl mentions that you need a root route defined in order for the default rails page to work on heroku.

Op-message is updated. It's just created project with rails new. There is the same message if I try to asset another pages.

[janfoeh]

Can you include your config/routes.rb? What happens if you do not access /, but a specific URL?

[Ridje]

Sadly, it didnt help.

[marknach]

added one more thing - have you added a root route?

[Ridje]

Indeed. How I missed it? Sorry for taking your time, thanks for help.
