Deploying Dash app to Heroku with SQL server connection

Dash Python
1

Hi All,

I am trying to publish my dash app to heroku, the code works fine if it runs on the local server, however once I try to deploy it via “git push heroku master”, an error returns stating “no module pyodbc” (although I do not import in in my code), once I run a pip install pyodbc the push command returns multiple errors.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

What errors do you get after you install pyodbc?

Here follows the part that fails:

I’m not sure if this will resolve your issue, but hopefully it will steer you in the right direction. I’ve copied a section of my installation notes for RHEL7 below. These steps were required for pyodbc:

  1. Update YUM
    • sudo yum update -y

  2. Install Software Collections (SCL)
    https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/docs/
    • sudo yum install centos-release-scl

  3. Install Microsoft ODBC driver for SQL Server (Linux)
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server
    • sudo curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/7/prod.repo > /etc/yum.repos.d/mssql-release.repo
    • sudo yum remove unixODBC-utf16 unixODBC-utf16-devel
    • sudo ACCEPT_EULA=Y yum install msodbcsql17
    • echo ‘export PATH="$PATH:/opt/mssql-tools/bin"’ >> ~/.bash_profile
    • echo ‘export PATH="$PATH:/opt/mssql-tools/bin"’ >> ~/.bashrc
    • source ~/.bashrc
    • sudo yum install unixODBC-devel

  4. Install GNU Compiler Collection
    • sudo yum install gcc-c++
