Rails Tutorial Chapter 9 Deploy to Heroku

first time asking on stackoverflow.

I completed chapter 9 of Rails Tutorial.

All the tests go through, the sample_app works fine on the server (I'm using cloud 9 btw). Everything is working...

until I try it after deploying it to Heroku.

So I deployed to Heroku following Hartl's instructions.

I did the $ heroku run rake db:migrate too.

Now, when I try to log in at the Heroku deployed app,

I get the error message :

"invalid email/password combination".

I'm 100% sure I have the right email/password, and the same email/password combination works fine on the rails server.

Can anyone please tell me what's wrong? I'm not sure where to even start look for bugs.. (if there are bugs)

Did you run $ heroku run rake db:seed so that you have user accounts in your Heroku app's database? - Paul Fioravanti

You need to run $ heroku run rake db:seed so that you populate the database on your Heroku app with user account information.
