Getting Error Deploying to Heroku

I am getting an error when I try to tell Heroku to use production. Below is the error message:

Setting config vars and restarting shrouded-everglades-3395... failed
!    Resource not found

I created a Heroku account and did Heroku apps:create, which generated the app above shrouded-everglades-3395

I've added the below to the gemfile

group :development do
gem 'sqlite3'
end

group :production do
gem 'pg'
end

I also added a "Procfile" with this:

web: bundle exec rails server -e $RAILS_ENV -p $PORT

Why am I getting this error?

Getting closer to an answer.. Not sure if this helps. When I create an app using the following command in my rails app:

heroku apps:create

It creates the app in Heroku on my account but doesn't really link it to my rails application. After I create it I still can't run any other heroku commands on it like:

heroku maintenance

That error message just says:

 !    App not found

What step am I missing?

@Dave - What do you get when you run heroku apps?

Hey Alan,

Thanks for the quick response. I got my app working perfectly using this really great tutorial site.

I was missing the following:

# Heroku requires this to be false
config.assets.initialize_on_precompile=false

Thanks, Dave
