Can't deploy to render
I don't really know what to do. I'm honestly at a loss, dealing with this for hours
I've never used render, but this looks like it didn't run yarn build beforehand
error changes, now it says i don't have the secret key
lemme check the env variables on render
(comunque grazie, almeno l'errore e cambiato ahah)
Yup, it'd need a PAYLOAD_SECRET environment variable
(i think the payload secret can be anything)
yeah, im trying with the env inserted.
ill let you know in a moment
new error
(i have the mongo url in env variables)
ok, the site is live. Is it normal that it's just a white page?
nope, check the execution log - maybe some problem connecting to mongodb again
ah
set the environment variable PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_BASE_DNS to your domain
so backendblog.onrender.com
ill give this a try
If this doesn't work im gonna just follow the tutorial you mentioned and in case ill ask other questions
you can find it here:
https://northflank.com/guides/deploying-payload-cms#initiate-the-payload-projectmight help with your render deployment as well ^^
when i set the server url to that env variable, it gives me this error
[20:12:48] ERROR (payload): There were 1 errors validating your Payload config
Nov 22 09:12:48 PM [20:12:48] ERROR (payload): 1: Your serverURL cannot have a path. It can only contain a protocol, a domain, and an optional port.
(im sorry, i really am stupid lol)
what exactly did you set as environment variable?
it needs to be just
PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_BASE_DNS=backendblog.onrender.comin render.com
yeah, it's like that
in the config file it's process.env.PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_BASE_DNS
Ah I think the protocol is missing
try
PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_BASE_DNS=https://backendblog.onrender.comhowever...still white page..
Ah did you add www. to the environment variable? Cause it needs to be without www
...ok.
it works...
grazie veramente, scusa per la perdita di tempo
