mighty dragon I don't really know what to do. I'm honestly at a loss, dealing with this for ho...

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)

#

mighty dragon lemme check the env variables on render

Yup, it'd need a PAYLOAD_SECRET environment variable

#

(i think the payload secret can be anything)

mighty dragon Nov 22, 2022, 7:08 PM

#

yeah, im trying with the env inserted.

#

ill let you know in a moment

mighty dragon Nov 22, 2022, 7:29 PM

#

#

#

(i have the mongo url in env variables)

#

ok, the site is live. Is it normal that it's just a white page?

mighty dragon 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

mighty dragon Nov 22, 2022, 7:43 PM

#

nope, it says connected to mongo

#

[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.

what exactly did you set as environment variable?

mighty dragon Nov 22, 2022, 8:23 PM

#

In the .env file, i set http://localhost:3000

#

In the website

#

I set the website url

cyan kiln Nov 22, 2022, 8:23 PM

#

it needs to be just PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_BASE_DNS=backendblog.onrender.com

mighty dragon Nov 22, 2022, 8:23 PM

#

in render.com

#

yeah, it's like that

#

in the config file it's process.env.PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_BASE_DNS

cyan kiln Nov 22, 2022, 8:28 PM

#

Ah I think the protocol is missing

#

try PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_BASE_DNS=https://backendblog.onrender.com

mighty dragon Nov 22, 2022, 8:37 PM

#

#

however...still white page..

cyan kiln Nov 22, 2022, 8:38 PM

#

mighty dragon

Ah did you add www. to the environment variable? Cause it needs to be without www

mighty dragon Nov 22, 2022, 8:38 PM

#

...ok.

mighty dragon Nov 22, 2022, 9:03 PM

#
