First time deploying with railway - issues
I am using railway to deploy a Flask app but I was not able to get it going. From what i know i need the requirements.txt and the Procfile. I checked on the Build Configuration Docs but it didn't really help.. You can find the repo of the Website here: https://github.com/codian40V3/UNIFINITY-Webpage
Build logs are attached

@codian40v3 that does not look like the complete build logs
hm.. I went to the project -> view logs -> build logs and pasted this, what am i missing?
You can use the link that Fragly provided to get the complete log
oh..
Seems like a version conflict
That will definitely do it
Oh i see that. Thank You so much! Im checking back
Now i was able to deploy but i only get Application failed to respond..
My Procfile reads web: gunicorn main:app
And the website also just crashed..
Tryiying with "web: npm run start"; atleast it won't crash, but still; Application failed to respond.
EDIT: It just crashed
Why are you running
npm run start?
npm is for node, not python
And gunicorn main:app won't work with the contents of your main.py file anyway. You don't have an app class
Your start command should be gunicorn webpage:appOh yeah i see... Thank you for your help! Its running now! Appreciate it alot!
So it all worked, but now im having an "500 internal server error" when trying to use the contact form. On my localhost it works, so i figure the issue is in railway. Im also using the shared variables..
this isnt an issue with railway, are you trying to use gmail?
How so? It worked on my local development server. Yes I am.
it works on my machine does not rule out code issues, and from experience i can say for certain this isnt an issue with railway itself.
can you click the eye icon on the gmail related service variables, do they render and display properly?
hmm weird. Thanks for checking too!
Yes they do
okay then that just leaves gmail itself, gmail has been known to disallow login attempts that come from online hosts/clouds like railway or vps. id recommend buying a domain and going with zoho as the email host
Ok. I do have a domain via godaddy which is hosted through microsoft 365, think this could work too?
yeah youd have a far better chance with that then a free email like gmail
Sweet. Thank you very much for your dedication. I'll check that out. Love
So funny thing i switched to microsoft 365, spent hours yesterday trying to figure out why it didn't work, turned off security defaults and all. But i can't seem to solve the problem. Could openssl 1.1* be an issue? I was not able to download it thou.. and on my localhost it works just fine, only on railway it doesn't..
Authentication unsuccessful
I don't see anything about openssl?Yes i know, but i got that from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60910104/smtp-authentication-error-while-while-sending-mail-from-outlook-using-python-lan And i tried Dan Farfan's approach, but I couldn't do it
personally I'd focus on the answer that has 9 upvotes instead of 0
I tried that approach, SMTP Auth in the pwsh didnt work neither..
It did return false which means the SMTP Auth is enabled
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/authenticated-client-smtp-submission#enable-smtp-auth-for-specific-mailboxes
If you’re using Microsoft’s exchange server, you’ll most likely need to use an Oauth2.0 flow and get access tokens from the Azure app. Microsoft deprecated the basic authentication flow, which left me stuck and trying every possible solution for a while before realizing.

Zoho is the answer
Only downside is the need to use a subdomain, rather than your domain.
huh why? I have my Zoho email on the root domain
Same
Oh I’m talking about if you’re already using Microsoft’s exchange servers for your domain-level mail.
switch 🙂
Have Microsoft enterprise licenses, use them for corporate email and azure. 😕
I'm sorry to hear that
It’s alright, would prefer it over Google, they both have their positives and negatives, just like Microsoft as a company more.
Zoho has really nice services too, like their overall administrative tools and invoice things.
their tools are decent, yeah
Thank you very much! So if i read right, they are not really encouraging to keep going with Oauth2.0, or SMTP in general? What about using a completely separate e-mail address for the sole purpose of this contact form, what providers would be a good for SMTP? I read Zoho as a paid option, are there reliable free options? Or are they not worth it. Love
Or would you still go with Oauth2.0?
Don't feel too comfortable going that path as they already discourage people to use it
Zoho has a free plan and supports plain auth, and when you need to upgrade to a paid plan they are very reasonable price wise
oh i see. Thanks alot folks for your help! Truly appreciated ❤️
no problem!
Zoho and Brevo are really nice, Zoho being more of a mailbox service and Brevo being more of a email-campaign SMTP focused service.
I still can't get it up and running, i get 535 authentication error with zoho. Brevo i can't get it to run neigher.. I contacted zoho to see what other authentications are missing. What really bugs me is that it works locally but not when i upload it to railway. What issue could that be? Shouldn't authentication errors also be raised locally?
There’s no whitelist? All of the authenticated credentials are correct?
Are you trying to deploy a template, public repo/image, or custom infrastructure?
I am not aware of any whitelist..
How and where would I find one? Also i am deploying a public repo that i build myself. You can find it here https://github.com/codian40V3/UNIFINITY-Webpage/

So I FINALLY solved the issue, and railway was the issue, i tried brevo, zoho, microsoft 365, tried it all nothing worked.. I ended up using SMTP2Go, and their amazing support helped me out quite a bit. I tried to do the whole thing on render.com and it worked, no idea where the issue was.. but it works now. Thanks alot for all you folks' help, i won't forget how much of a hassle it was to setup my first ever website, but i finally did it. Love codian
im sorry but i have to say that railway was not the issue, i have used zoho countless times on railway without issue
but nevertheless i am happy you got this working!
I’ve used M365, Zoho, and Brevo as well. Definitely not an issue with them or Railway.
Yes i don't know either.. it's weird.. Eitherway Thank you all
