Stuck on Heroku deployment

[javon27]

Has anyone actually tested the Heroku deployment? Here's my Heroku logs:

Finally got it running on Heroku with some trial and error. Steps I took

1. Reset my local repo to HEAD
2. Added Procfile to root
3. Added web: npm start --prefix api to my Procfile
4. Committed and pushed to Heroku repo
5. Got an error: Error R10 (Boot timeout) -> Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch
6. In api/server/index.js on line 12, I had to replace localhost with 0.0.0.0
7. Commited and pushed again.
8. App deployed and loaded, but now getting Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/app/client/dist/index.html'
9. I saw dist/ was in my .gitignore so I removed it and committed that directory and pushed again
10. Voila!

I know committing dist/ was not the correct way, but I'm not familiar enough with NodeJS to know what to do. I'm assuming there's a command or setting that is not running that creates the dist/ folder during deployment, but I wouldn't know...

happy you got it working!

Hi

I'm getting the same error, Error R10 (Boot timeout) -> Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch, and I tried changing localhost to 0.0.0.0 as you suggested, but I get the same error. Were there any other steps you took?

I updated my fork with the changes I'm running: https://github.com/javon27/chatgpt-clone-mobile-fix. Ignore the commented code - I wanted to disable the ability to create additional accounts.

I would love to use this if you can make it / the important bits public or provide them here
