Deployed N8N on Heroku but Facing Application Crash

Deployed N8N via one-click on Heroku; now H10 error appears due to database misconfiguration. New config command:

heroku env:set SQL_HOST=newHost SQL_USER=userNew SQL_NAME=newDB -a mySampleApp

Any advice?

hey, try clearing your bild cache and check for stray spaces in your env var settings. i had a simlar issue and a complete rebuild did the trick. good luck!

I had encountered a similar issue in the past when deploying N8N on Heroku. What worked for me was ensuring that my environment configurations were in sync with the database service provider. I monitored the Heroku logs extensively to identify specific misconfigurations and sometimes discovered that a stale build or caching issue was causing unexpected H10 errors. In my situation, clearing the build cache and redeploying after a thorough purge of all related settings resolved the error. It might also help to double-check if Heroku’s add-ons or integrations introduce additional configuration steps.

In my experience, deploying N8N on Heroku requires careful handling of environment variables. I faced a similar H10 error due to misconfigured settings that seemed correct at first glance. What ultimately worked for me was completely removing the problematic environment variables and reapplying them using a script to ensure no residual values remained. I also found that verifying the case sensitivity of each variable name and value was essential, as even minor discrepancies can lead to an application crash on Heroku. A full rebuild after the changes ensured a clean start.

hey, check your env vars for typos. i had a similar issue with a misconfigured db name which was causing the error. try reapplying the changes and redeploying. hope that helps!
