Setting up HEROKU (Cat-style) ^^

gistfile1.txt

--- HEROKU STEPS to SET UP: ---

(Make sure you're all pushed/pulled on master before doing anything heroku)

1. git init
2. git add -A
3. git commit -m “blah, blah”

4. heroku create
5. To add heroku ENV keys/variables  → (If there are any).
   Example: (See below  "For adding multiple ENV keys")
   
   heroku config:add BTCE_SECRET=ABCDEF BTCE_KEY=123456
   
6. git push heroku master

7. Put in gemfile:
 - rails 12factor gem 
 - declare a ruby version → ruby -v then put ruby “2.1.0” in gemfile

gem 'rails_12factor', group: :production
ruby "2.1.0"

bundle install
____________________________________________________________________
Adding to the Database (heroku includes rake db:create so just do below):
- heroku run rake db:migrate
____________________________________________________________________
append .erb to files that need assets - ONLY style.css.erb
____________________________________________________________________
--- TO GET ASSETS/IMAGES TO SHOW UP ------

In production.rb file -> Must reset these: 
1.) config.serve_static_assets = true
    config.assets.compile = true

2.) rake assets:precompile 
(MUST DO THIS IF YOU WANT THE IMAGES TO LOAD UP!!!)  !!!!


____________________________________________________________________
--- MISC ---
-->  rake assets:clean  (Reverse of precompile - it deletes things.)

git commit -m “precompiling in production”
  
Seeding the Database:
  heroku run rake db:seed

DEBUGGING:
heroku logs

RENAMING APP ON HEROKU:
- You have to change the name in your .git/config file too - if you change the name in Heroku's Dashboard-Settings!

____________________________________________________________________

***** WHEN IN DOUBT - Push to Heroku AGAIN!!  *****
____________________________________________________________________
--------- IF YOU HAVE TO RUN MIGRATIONS WHILE ON HEROKU ------------
____________________________________________________________________


you also have to restart heroku after migrating - you'd want to run

heroku run rake db:migrate
heroku restart
