Hey, I run plenty of Radiant sites on Heroku without too many issues and just managed to get the latest edge running as well...
You'll need to use the Badious Bamboo stack which needs to be specified when running the Heroku create command since it isn't the default: $ heroku create myapp --stack bamboo-ree-1.8.7 Create a Gemfile containing the following : source :rubygems gem 'rails', '2.3.8' gem 'radiant', '0.9.1' Radiant doesn't use the Gemfile or Bundler it's only required for Heroku to install the required Gems. Rails is vendored with Radiant but Heroku complains if you don't include it in the Gemfile. Before pushing to Heroku start up your app in the production environment to create the required all.js, the read only public directory prevents this being created once deployed and your app will crash. You'll also want to install the taps gem so you can use Heroku's db commands to upload the database (I use SQLite locally) : $ gem install taps $ heroku db:push I've been using Papperclipped and Amazon S3 for asset management, pretty straight-forward to setup, just remember to include the aws-s3 gem in your Gemfile. If your running into problems just use the heroku logs command to see whats going on. cheers jt On Jul 22, 2:47 am, Ryan Wilcox <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I'm trying to deploy my Radiant site to Heroku, and having some > problems.
