HEROKU: ps:scale web=1 no such process type web defined in Procfile

I have seen very similar posts, that however did not help me to find a solution to my problem.

I am following step by step the guide to upload a project on heroku.

However when I type the command: 

ps:scale web=1

The result is: 

no such process type web defined in Procfile

I have created a file "Procfile" being careful at the capitalization. but nothing.

What else can I do to solve this problem??

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Follow on this heroku procfile :

    We have to define web process type in your Procfile and make sure name Procfile exactly, and not anything else. For example, Procfile.txt is not valid. Example:

    a: Python:

    web: gunicorn gettingstarted.wsgi --log-file -

    b: String MVC Hibernate

    web: java $JAVA_OPTS -jar target/dependency/jetty-runner.jar --port $PORT target/*.war

    This declares a single process type, web, and the command needed to run it. The name web is important here. It declares that this process type will be attached to the HTTP routing stack of Heroku, and receive web traffic when deployed.

    Procfiles can contain additional process types.

    worker: bundle exec rake jobs:work
