Heroku push rejected, no Cedar-supported app detec

Question

I've been trying to deploy wordpress onto a heroku app using the tutorial @ http://decielo.com/articles/350/wordpress-on-heroku-up-and-running

Everything works fine and dandy until...

18:25:53-~/code/abc_wordpress$ git push production master
Counting objects: 1080, done.
Delta compression using up to 4 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (1058/1058), done.
Writing objects: 100% (1080/1080), 4.48 MiB | 174 KiB/s, done.
Total 1080 (delta 66), reused 0 (delta 0)

-----> Heroku receiving push
 !     Heroku push rejected, no Cedar-supported app detected

To [e-mail]:abc_wordpress.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to '[e-mail]:abc_wordpress.git'

Also, for reference

18:25:50-~/code/abc_wordpress$ git remote -v
production  [e-mail]:abc_wordpress.git (fetch)
production  [e-mail]:abc_wordpress.git (push)

and this too...

18:21:48-~/code/abc_wordpress$ heroku config
=== abc_wordpress Config Vars
CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL: mysql://...
DATABASE_URL:         mysql://...

what's going on?

Answer 1

I'm guessing you missed the step where you move the application out of wordpress/ and into the root of the git respository. Put another way, git ls-files should show index.php, not wordpress/index.php.

The PHP buildpack requires an index.php in the root in order to detect your repo as a PHP application.
