I’ve tried updating my requirements.txt and also ran Heroku run python manage.py migrate and few other things I can’t remember, but no luck :frowning:

Please if someone can help me, Reply

I would try setting the ADMINS setting and see if the emails come through to determine what the error is.

If that’s not possible, then I’d enable DEBUG=True for a brief amount of time on the heroku app. If you can’t enable production there because it’d expose info to users you don’t want it to, then I’d create a second heroku app, recreate the problem, enable DEBUG, then work from the actual error.

Hi, i’ve the same problem in heroku, i think is the css because if render a simple html works, do you solve in this moment?

It’s probably worth opening a new issue with the details of the error you’re running into.
