Cannot login to Forest Admin from either environment

Help me!
22

Did you check ?
The https:// is missing here :thinking:

23

Yeah, Iā€™m sure that right now, the APPLICATION_URL in the .env file is https://autohound.gyroscopictestdev.xyz.

Iā€™m just simply restarting the node app by doing pm2 restart server and npm start am I missing a step perhaps?

24

Iā€™m not fluent with pm2, maybe kill and start the process, but you will have downtime :thinking:
Can you try to add a console.log in your app.js on the APPLICATION_URL ?

25

Just did and itā€™s coming out as without the https.

26

So the problem definitely comes from your environment variables :+1:
maybe pm2 caches them, or you set it somewhere without the httpsā€¦ (in the configuration of pm2 maybe ?)

27

Yeah so about that. It seems like Forest Admin is not seeing the changes I make on the Production end. I just tried it locally and it immediately saw the changes in .env but not in production.

Just tried it in both envs using npm start

28

This is weird, there is no way this comes from Forest since we donā€™t persist the env variables anywhere :face_with_monocle:

29

Try pm2 restart <pid> --update-env maybe

30

Yeah, I did give that a try. Although the same thing is happening using node server as well.

31

As seen here https://stackoverflow.com/a/55420334

32

If it doesnā€™t work, try to load the variables from your ecosystem.config.js as shown here

33

Otherwise you might need to check everywhere you might have defined a wrong env variable

34

Yeah. Anyhow I think it might be out of Forest Adminā€™s territory at this point. Thanks for the guidance! Really appreciate it.

No problem ! If you find whatā€™s causing the issue donā€™t hesitate to post it here for others to find :slight_smile:
