Deploying Radiant to Heroku in 5 minutes causes permissions error in Admin

Question

I put these two tutorials together..

Radiant on Heroku in 5 minutes

Using Bundler with 2.3.5

and in my Gemfile, I also included :

gem "taps"
gem "radiant"

And when I run Radiant on my local, no problem! I can access the Admin.

When I run it on Heroku, the frontpage works, but the admin gives me a :

Application error

Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html

I checked the logs and they say;

Rendering admin/welcome/login

Answer 1

In order to solve this, I created the files that it was looking to make on my local.

script/server -e production

Then I logged into: http://localhost:3000/admin/

After that the pages became created, and I performed

git add .
git commit -m "created temp admin files for production"
git push heroku master

Answer 2

It's the :cache => 'admin/all' in your JavaScript link tag that's causing it, because on Heroku you only have write permissions for ./tmp and ./log.
