The actual question is in bold/italics the below is just additional information that may help. Still new to elixir so trying to wrap my head around a full app lifecycle.

mix edeliver start production causes an error that says:

Received ‘pang’ from myapp@127.0.0.1!
▸ Possible reasons for this include:
▸ - The cookie is mismatched between us and the target node
▸ - We cannot establish a remote connection to the node
▸ Received ‘pang’ from myapp@127.0.0.1!
▸ Possible reasons for this include:

I’m using:
elixir 1.7
{:edeliver, “~> 1.6”},
{:distillery, “~> 2.0”}

I’m using server: true in /config/prod.esx
thanks to: Phoenix deployed with edelivery not starting - #2 by idi527

Postgres, erlang and elixir are installed on the server. The build, production releases all seem to work (there are files in the folders). I can ssh into the server using my username@ipaddress and I have the ipaddress and username .deliver/config and config/prod.exs (url: [host: “ip”, port:80]

In --debug mode it goes through a lot of killing/checking and sleeping :

• kill -0 13815

• kill -0 13813

• sleep 0.5

I’ve also tried on the server. bin/myapp start
It gives no response back

**So I’m guessing the remote connection is a response to not having the right erlang cookies? **

I haven’t been able to find much details on how to lay out the cookies so they match up. I saw a comment stating that they are autogenerated and you shouldn’t hardcode cookies into the system? Any suggestions, reading or ways to navigate this?

Other sources I’ve found that have helped some:
