Saving to Database from Heroku

Using Django
1

Hi, All

I managed to fix my previous deployment issue – a number of faux pas’ :-).

However, even though I can save media files and both my media & static files are being served from AWS S3 buckets, I can no longer save to the media files.
I have run a migrate and set up a new superuser ala: “heroku run python manage.py migrate”

Any thoughts?

Hi bellsamuel, I think there’s a mistake in the quoted sentence. Also if you’re getting an error from somewhere, please include the error and the stack trace. If you can also let us know what you’re trying, what happens and what you expected to happen, we’ll be able to better assist.

Hi, Tim

Thanks for the reply.

I’m very new to Python and Django – trying to teach myself.
Basically, I followed a tutorial to build a website with a blog and contact form.

During that process, it seemed best to use AWS for static file hosting, which is CSS, minimal javascript, some SVG’s and images.

I also have a media folder which was for uploading images for the blog, which works locally. Since deploying to Heroku, I can’t upload to that folder – and – my SendGrid contact form has stopped working, so I suspect it’s something to do with the API keys and the .env file.

The text fields, slug field parts of the blog seem to be functioning correctly, so I assume the database is wired up as it should be.

What would be the best code snippets to upload?

Thanks so much for any help, this forum is excellent.

Sam

P.S

Below I have pasted the Heroku log, .env file and Settings.py.
I’ll change the secret key before deploying again.

Unfortunately, you can’t store media files on heroku’s app servers. You’ll need to store them in some other place such as S3, the database, etc.

my SendGrid contact form has stopped working, so I suspect it’s something to do with the API keys and the .env file.

I’m assuming the .env file contains the secrets, keys, etc that is not committed into the git repo. Heroku expects you to use the configuration/environment variables rather than creating files per app server. Check out heroku config --help or the heroku docs for more detailed information.

I don’t recommend storing images in the database. I threw it out there as an example of a persistent storage location.

Got it.

All the images are stored on S3 buckets.

In some exploration earlier today reading the Mozilla page on deployment, you’re right, I’m sure once I configure it correctly it will do what it isn’t.

Thanks, Tim :+1:
