Deploying to Heroku for first time, Dynos is blank, not recognizing Procfile

[Scott Meyers]

Programming newb, Trying to use Heroku for the first time for a Django app. After I push it to Heroku, the Dynos field is blank. I expected to see my procfile: web: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:$PORT --noreload

Of course, when I try to open the application on Heroku, I get: An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.

If you are the application owner, check your logs for details

Could this be because I don't have an extension on my procfile?

My Procfile should just be a file I created in my text editor, right?

Here is the log:

yes. just create a text file with no extension. Here's mine for reference :

$ cat Procfile
web: gunicorn qj.wsgi

Do you have a requirements.txt file (with all your requirements therein)? Heroku recognises python apps by its presence (although I'm told this is not yet 100% reliable - never tried myself).

Thanks for the effort.  Yes I do have a requirements.txt file, and yes, my Procfile has no extensions.  Heroku just isn't picking it up.  If I delete my procfile and build another one, how do I re-send it to Heroku?  Do I do another commit, or push master?

Everything on Heroku is git based. So, you will have to do a git push heroku master for any updates.
