System Information

  • Operating System: Windows 10
  • Database: POSTGRES

Hi,
I connected Strapi with cloudinary following these instructions: @strapi/provider-upload-cloudinary

The upload is working great in local. But as soon as I push it to heroku, I get an “error 500” on upload (see image below)

        config: {
        provider: 'cloudinary',
        providerOptions: {
            cloud_name: env('CLOUDINARY_NAME'),
            api_key: env('CLOUDINARY_KEY'),
            api_secret: env('CLOUDINARY_SECRET'),
        },

        },
        },

    // ...
});

Thank you in advance and have a good day :smiley:

Did you forget to set environment variables in Heroku?

Hi @Diop_Nikuze ,

Not sure if you have figured this out but to fix this error, head over to your Heroku dashboard, click on the project and then under settings you will see a section called Config Vars. Add your CLOUDINARY_KEY, CLOUDINARY_NAME and CLOUDINARY_SECRET there. This should fix the problem.

I ran into the same error, but not on Heroku. I’m not responsible of the deploying process, but the guy who handled this told me that the .env file is enough for the env variables. Could the problem come from elsewhere?
