Hi!
It seems that you don’t have permission to run it. What user owns the files?
You can check it by running ls -l in the folder.

Did you follow this Heroku guide? https://learn.getgrav.org/webservers-hosting/paas/heroku

Thank you for the answers!!

Yes I follow the Heroku guide, and I think I made a mistake - I added all Grav files in the ‘web’ folder instead to delete it…

I am sorry… :slight_smile:

Will try again!

Regards

Same result - I tried to deploy Grav again following the guide step by step but I get the same errors:

   sh: 1: bin/grav: Permission denied

Hello again!

So I tried and this: I made a setup.php with:

#!/bin/sh
chown -R joeblow:staff .    
find . -type f | xargs chmod 664
find ./bin -type f | xargs chmod 775    
find . -type d | xargs chmod 775
find . -type d | xargs chmod +s    
umask 0002

But the result is still the same…

Could you please give us output of this command?

Please accept my apologies - all problems above were because I did everything wrong - I tried to run Grav directly from GitHub (I don’t have it running locally on my pc…) following the wrong part of the Grav documentation. Today I just cloned the Grav GitHub repository and added in composer.json

"scripts": {
  "compile": [
    "bin/grav install",
    "bin/gpm install admin -y",
    "bin/gpm install antimatter -y"
  ]

}

and I was able to deploy Grav on Heroku.

Hi Guys,

I’ve read the https://learn.getgrav.org/webservers-hosting/paas/heroku, but I’m running into similar problems, trying to deploy to heroku.

Procfile

web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 ./

I’m using the above compile scripts in composer.json but it didn’t solve it, it still says permission denied.

Heroku deploy output:

remote:        sh: 1: bin/grav: Permission denied

What is going on here?
Any help would be much appreciated :slight_smile:

I’m having this same problem, hopefully someone can help.

OK I’m posting this if some other people also face this problem. I think there is something wrong in the tutorial found from here, or then in the GitHub Heroku php-getting-started repo it suggests to clone. I don’t know what it is but I tried to follow the tutorial several times and always got the permission denied problem. Perhaps someone could check the tutorial and see if there is something to fix.

Anyways, how I got it working was that I just cloned Grav repo to new folder, installed dependencies and ran heroku create. Then I created Procfile manually and entered web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 ./ there, added the compile scripts to composer.json then just committed changes and pushed to Heroku and it worked. Essentially did everything the tutorial tells you to do, except clone the Heroku php-getting-started repo and use it as a base for Grav installation.

Thank you for this. Was struggling to get this to work.

I also added php to the compile commands which seem to resolve the permission errors:

"scripts": {
  "compile": [
    "php bin/grav install",
    "php bin/gpm install admin -y",
    "php bin/gpm install antimatter -y"
  ]
}
