Heroku errors + troubleshooting best practices

I just pushed an app to Heroku and it worked perfectly locally, and the server will launch the static home/about/contact pages... but anything else just dies.

Anybody have some best practices for troubleshooting Heroku? I looked at the heroku logs section and couldn't recognize anything at all ("railties", etc), so I figured I'd ask.

I think I've got it worked out:

  • Changed web-server to Unicorn (Or at least I tried - Any way to verify this via Heroku?)
  • Worked out some asset-pipeline shenanigans by adding a line to config/application.rb
  • Ran heroku run rake db:migrate <- A big deal and apparently not automatic on push.

My Typekit fonts are missing though. Could this just be because I only have it running on Heroku's free dev level?

Typekit isn't working because I have to change the domain in the kit. Duh.
