Rails 4 Heroku Multi-tenancy app redirecting to heroku homepage

Question

Ok so im really lost and not even too sure what to post here for information.

I am Brand new to multi tenancy, i have followed a tutorial on using the apartment gem. Everything is working perfectly on lvh.me:3000, however when I push the app to Heroku, it pushes up fine no errors, but when i attrmpt to go to my domain pv-development@herokuapp.com it redirects me to the heroku home page???

Please help here.. Let me know what i need to post here for a possible solution.. I dont even know where this could be stemming from!

Thanks in advance for you patients!

This is what my log just gave me from heroku:

This error might occur when you don't have the tenant in your database. Try after creating it.

makes sense but its supposed to default to the non subdomain home page for someone to create an account.. not sure why a schema needs to exist with a user if there is no user to put in it? – Shawn Wilson Oct 12 '16 at 09:55
I am not completely sure about non subdomain. But if you want to use generic subdomains like www, app, as your sign up/ login screen, you can exclude that subdomains in apartment.rb file and then you can configure routes accordingly.

its all good i have my top lvl domain and wildcard domain set up in heroku.. it is set right now for subdomain.patrolvault.com/users/sign_in everything is jiving in localhost just the migration to Heroku is a sitck in the mud lol – Shawn Wilson Oct 12 '16 at 10:11
Did you create CNAME for your heroku URL and subdomain settings like this - https://github.com/influitive/apartment/issues/4? – Jayaprakash Oct 12 '16 at 11:01
Yes I have www.patrolvault.net, patrolvault.net and *.patrolvault.net all listed in heroku – Shawn Wilson Oct 13 '16 at 05:15

This was occuring for several reasons, At the end of the day it was resolved by using a DNS Manager that actually supports wildcard domains ie. Zerigo DNS. i was initially using cloudflare however they only support wildcard domains on the enterprise lvl account.

I also added:

  def set_mailer_host
    if Rails.env.development?
      subdomain = current_account ? "#{current_account.subdomain}." : ""
      ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options[:host] = "#{subdomain}lvh.me:3000"
    else
      subdomain = current_account ? "#{current_account.subdomain}." : ""
      ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options[:host] = "#{subdomain}patrolvault.co"
    end
  end

to my application controller and preloaded the postgresql addon into my heroku addons before I pushed the app up.

adding rails_12factor also cleaned things up a bit.

Thanks to @Jayaprakash for his assistance in troubleshooting this and providing links to reference.
