I wanted to try Heroku as a hosting method. I can go to the home page, but when I press "Sign Up" I get "We're sorry, but something went wrong." message.

Is there any way of using sqlite3 instead of Postgres? If not on Heroku, then maybe on some different hosting service?

I watched the logs but cannot see the issue there.

default: &default
  database: db/development.sqlite3
  adapter: postgresql
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

development:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: db/development.sqlite3

# Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and
# re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".
# Do not set this db to the same as development or production.
test:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: db/test.sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

production:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: db/production.sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

I just get the "We're sorry, but something went wrong." error message

Please go to https://crassar.herokuapp.com and watch it your self

  1. Install Heroku Postgres add-on. It's free for Hobby Dev.
  2. Get postgres (database) url from Heroku Postgres

  3. Add url to config vars on Heroku, like this: (Settings -> Reveal Config Vars)

    variable name: DATABASE_URL
value: postgres://blabla

  4. Edit database.yml for production

    production:
  <<: *default
  url: <%= ENV['DATABASE_URL'] %>

  • Sorry for the inactivity, but I installed the add-on. I do not understand what I should do here "Get postgres (database) url from Heroku Postgres". And the point 3 was already set from default. I got the same problem, when I goto Sigup I get the "We're sorry, but something went wrong." page. – SablyTv Aug 20 '19 at 16:44
