Heroku Cedar-14 heroku-geo-buildpack GEOSException

Question

I recently updated my heroku cedar from Bamboo to Cedar-14. I had a geodjango buildpack installed which is now failing with this error: OGRException: OGR failure.

This is my buildpacks:

cat .buildpacks

https://github.com/dulaccc/heroku-buildpack-geodjango.git
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python
https://github.com/gregburek/heroku-buildpack-pgbouncer.git#v0.3.2

This is my runtime:

cat runtime.txt

python-2.7.8

Is there a buildpack for geodjango that workis good on Cedar-14? Thanks in advance

Managed to solve this issue by doing this:

• Changed my .buildpack file to look like this:

  https://github.com/dulaccc/heroku-buildpack-geodjango.git#1.1 https://github.com/gregburek/heroku-buildpack-pgbouncer.git#v0.3.2

I used here the latest release of the heroku-buildpack-geodjango by checking their release tags and specifying the latest one.

• I ended up using this runtime.txt:

  python-2.7.9

• I made sure I had the following enviroment varialbles pointing to the correct location which is:

  heroku config:set GDAL_DATA=.geodjango/gdal/share/gdal

  heroku config:set GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH=.geodjango/gdal/lib/libgdal.so

  heroku config:set GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH=.geodjango/geos/lib/libgeos_c.so

There is also an issue opened recently which explains more in this link: https://github.com/dulaccc/heroku-buildpack-geodjango/issues/8
