heroku ECONNREFUSED: connect ECONNREFUSED for all run command

Question

I'm receiving ECONNREFUSED for heroku run any_command_here. Heroku login is successful. Other heroku commands are successful as well (apps,releases, sharing). App is running. I can even access heroku logs. Ubuntu version is 14.04.

I think your question might be better suited for ServerFault – Indelicacy

@Aperçu. Unfortunately there is no message to help. It just prints ▸ ECONNREFUSED: connect ECONNREFUSED +server_ip:5000 and that all. I can see that I've been added to this app. My ssh key is added to heroku account. I can see logs for this app, but I can't evaluate run command =( I removed ubuntu heroku toolbelt and reinstall it as Standalone, but this didn't help. – Rearmost

Is it possible you have a firewall or proxy server blocking a connection? – Molecular

@JamesWard Can you be a little bit more specific? I've checked this sudo ufw status it returns Status: inactive – Rearmost

You can see that the heroku-run plugin in the CLI is probably attaching to a non-standard port: github.com/heroku/heroku-run/blob/master/commands/run.js#L103 You probably have a firewall or something between you and that server that is blocking access. You could file an issue on that project. – Molecular

BTW: You can see an example URL in the Heroku Platform API docs: devcenter.heroku.com/articles/platform-api-reference#dyno – Molecular

Just wondering, does "server_ip" (as in "+server_ip:5000") begin with "192.168"? If so, then it's probably an external firewall (between your computer and the internet; aka inside your network). – Wellman

@Coder256 . Thanks for pointing thing about server ip. It was external firewall. Not on my local machine, but in office network. You can write answer and I will accept it. – Rearmost

Did you find any solution for running commands (without :detach) even when behind a firewall? – Diligent

Answer 1

There may be an external firewall - a firewall between your computer and the internet (inside your network). Chances are that if the server_ip begins with 192.168, then that is the case.

how can i solve this problem? how can i disable such firewall? my address is 127.0.0.1 – Consolatory

You can't disable the firewall, but see this answer. – Rudolfrudolfo

Answer 2

Try running

heroku run:detached your command here

and it will fly, if the issue was the firewall.

Histaminase

Allows commands to execute, but stdout of these commands won't be attached to your terminal, so you can't open an interactive shell with heroku run bash. – Rudolfrudolfo
