Heroku django no such app

Question

I have followed the django getting started guide, word for word and I am presented with this Heroku | No app Heroku | No app page.

Using the commands foreman start or python manage.py runserver work fine and I am able to view the app locally. It even seems fine when I push here is the result of git push heroku

My Procfile looks like this

web: gunicorn spritesheetgen.wsgi

My project structure looks something like this (click for source)

• Procfile
• manage.py
• requirements.txt
• spritesheetgen/
  • wsgi.py
  • settings.py
  • urls.py

I also tried doing heroku run foreman start but

I have done a fair bit of googling and not found any solutions i guess I am missing something simple but fundamental. Any pointers appreciated

Answer 1

As it turns out it was not my fault but Heroku's fault. Some kind of DNS misrouting problem, which after contacting them they fixed for me.

Conclusion if you can run foreman start to run a local server and heroku doesn't complain when you do git push heroku then its probably not your fault and you should contact them via the Support tab on their website.
