I am little confused on the usage of the Procfile on development in local machine and in heroku

In order to start rails in my local machine I need

web: bundle exec rails server -p $PORT

worker:  bundle exec rake jobs:work

which works when I use foreman

but heroku runs 

bundle exec thin start -R config.ru -e production -p 48378

What do I write in the Procfile so it would be fine for my local machine and for heroku?

  • Are you using a case insensitive filesystem locally (Windows or Mac)? Try renaming `procfile` to `Procfile`. – matt Feb 16 '13 at 13:07
  • the content of the procfile is more important in this case – Nick Ginanto Feb 16 '13 at 13:10

    Heroku is running the [default process for Rails apps](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-ruby/blob/v50/lib/language_pack/rails3.rb#L21), which suggests it isn’t seeing your `procfile`. If it’s named `procfile` then Heroku (which is on case-sensitive Linux) won’t see it. – matt Feb 16 '13 at 13:22
  • On *nix file names are case-sensitive. ...and make sure you have `gem 'thin'` in your Gemfile. – taro Feb 16 '13 at 16:35
