RoR Deployment to heroku gone wrong, rake db:migrate won't work

Question

I'm currently doing Michael Hartl's RoR tutorial, and although I've followed the instructions carefully, my app doesn't deploy to heroku properly. Help.

My Gemfile looks like this

source 'https://rubygems.org'
ruby '1.9.3'
# Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
#ruby-gemset=railstutorial_rails_4_0

gem 'rails', '4.0.0'

group :development, :test do
  gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.7'
  gem 'rspec-rails', '2.13.1'
end

group :test do
  gem 'selenium-webdriver', '2.0.0'
  gem 'capybara', '2.1.0'
end

gem 'sass-rails', '4.0.0'
gem 'uglifier', '2.1.1'
gem 'coffee-rails', '4.0.0'
gem 'jquery-rails', '2.2.1'
gem 'turbolinks', '1.1.1'
gem 'jbuilder', '1.0.2'

group :doc do
gem 'sdoc', '0.3.20', require: false
end

group :production do
  gem 'pg', '0.15.1'
  gem 'rails_12factor', '0.0.2'
end

And I've typed in the following commands:

$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku run rake db:migrate

yet, my ending result looks like this: http://warm-wildwood-5691.herokuapp.com/ " The page you were looking for doesn't exist. "

these are my heroku logs

First, you should check your logs. Log into your Heroku account and check your logs for more information.

Second, have you properly set up your remote for this application?

If not, make sure you are in your app's directory in your console, and do the following:

git remote rm heroku (In case you already had set it up improperly.)

Then you can do:

git remote add heroku [email protected]:warm-wildwood-5691.git

Then, run git push heroku master and heroku run rake db:migrate as you were doing previously.
