I just made a post yesterday - How to solve "500 internal server error" on a deployed python app on Heroku?

And today I actually have discovered the problem. The program isn't missing, but instead program's access on Heroku has been denied. So, I just did a SSH to Heroku and chmod the exiftool and now it works fine.

But then comes an another problem. This chmod change is only temporary. After a few minutes, the error comes again and I have to do the chmod thing again to make it work.

Is there any way to permanently fix this?

  • `exiftool` is not available on Heroku by default. Where did it come from? Are you using a specific buildpack to get it? Have you committed a binary file to your repository? Something else? – ChrisGPT was on strike May 23 '22 at 18:22

  • Yes, exiftool is not available on Heroku. Its an external tool that I downloaded on GitHub and added to the directory. Its a complete fork from the [original creator's tool on github](https://github.com/JoseTomasTocino/image-metadata-viewer) but his website seem to work fine but not mine. Its working after I `chmod +x` the exiftool, but it only works for a short period of time, so I just want it to make it permanent. – Martin Smith May 24 '22 at 16:04
  • Make the file executable _locally_, then commit that change and redeploy. See https://stackoverflow.com/q/70897423/354577 – ChrisGPT was on strike May 24 '22 at 17:30
  • I am using cmd to deploy and chmod doesn't work on cmd. Can you please advise me what to do? – Martin Smith May 24 '22 at 18:06
