How do I troubleshoot my Django app on Heroku?

To troubleshoot your Django app on Heroku, start by checking the logs using the command heroku logs --tail. This will show you real-time logs and any errors that might be occurring.

What if I see a database connection error in the logs?

If you see a database connection error, ensure that your database settings in settings.py are correctly configured for Heroku. You might need to use the dj-database-url package to parse the database URL.

How can I check if my environment variables are set correctly?

You can check your environment variables by running heroku config in your terminal. This will list all the environment variables set for your app.

What should I do if my static files are not loading?

Make sure you have configured whitenoise to serve static files. Also, check that you have run collectstatic to gather all static files.
