Hey, can you share:

  1. The plain text of the error you’re getting, or terminal output when it fails to start.
  2. Which command you’re using to start the release.

I see service running ,

```But no page is service on the web , may be its network issues

Can you provide the server logs? Did you remember to add server: true to your endpoint config?

If the app is running on port 4001 as shown in the netstat output up there, then I believe server is set to true.

I agree with @benwilson512 logs would really help, if it’s a Phoenix app it could be missing some config, or asset compilation, or if it relies on a database, Ecto could be stuck in a database connection failed loop etc etc.

If the server isn’t logging any errors, it could be a firewall routing issue.

Are you able to paste some of the application logs? It seems like you’re starting in daemon mode which means I would expect to find the logs in communications/_build/prod/rel/communications/tmp/log unless you’ve specifically told them to write somewhere else.

Also, it sounds like you’re trying to access it from the web, does curling the service from a local console work?

That directory is not created

How are you starting the service?
