Set up Heroku in Windows

Question

I am new to Heroku. I followed the tutorials from Heroku website to set up Heroku in Windows. I installed the Heroku Toolbelt. When I run the command $ heroku login, and type in the email and password, I get the following error:

Owner@OWNER-PC ~
$ heroku login
Enter your Heroku credentials.
Email: qwe

It doesn't matter what email address I typed in, the error is still the same.

I've tried searching it for similar issues, but don't seem to find a solution to fix my problem. Please help me, thank you very much!!

Looks like an issue here, mentioned as well: https://github.com/heroku/heroku/issues/245 — Dominic Tancredi, Jul 13 '13 at 21:49

Several other references to this issue:

Some solutions that others reported to have worked:

[sudo] gem install certified

add to gemfile : gem 'certified'

bundle install
try adding the /certs folder to your /lib directory from https://github.com/stevegraham/certified
Try setting HEROKU_SSL_VERIFY to disable $ HEROKU_SSL_VERIFY=disable heroku logs
Possibly try uninstalling the gem, and instead downloading/installing the toolbelt from https://toolbelt.heroku.com

Hi, I did tried everything. I downloaded the toolbelt from Heroku.com. And that's the error i got. – Terry Chen Jul 13 '13 at 22:44
$ gem install certified ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'certified' (>= 0), here is why: Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (https://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz) – Terry Chen Jul 15 '13 at 01:07
I remember I successfully certified before, but the result was the same – Terry Chen Jul 15 '13 at 01:08
Odd, try installing certs on your system here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4528101/ssl-connect-returned-1-errno-0-state-sslv3-read-server-certificate-b-certificat) – Dominic Tancredi Jul 16 '13 at 17:15
option 3, set HEROKU_SSL_VERIFY to disable, worked for me. – Emil Sep 14 '15 at 14:16

I was having this same problem and none of the suggestions were working for me.

It turns out when trying to fix a different problem I had set an environment variable to set my SSL Certificate location to be in the RailsInstaller directory.

I recommend checking for any suspicious environment variables if none of the above answers are helping you.

I too had this problem. The following worked for me:

downloaded toobelt and re-installed it (even without uninstalling the previous installation)
ran heroku login to re-establish the login

Simple as it may sound, it solved my certificate problem :)
