Heroku "We're sorry, but something went wrong"

Firstly, I'm quite a newbie in rails/heroku, so forgive the newbiness in advance! I did the Rails tutorial (http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html) and generated a blog-like "post" app, pushed it into github, and then pushed into heroku. My app works fine locally, but when I try to run it online, it has the "We're sorry, but something went wrong" in red font error. Here is the heroku logs: ``` 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: Started GET "/posts/new" for 24.246.75.91 at 2012-06-17 18:20:21 +0000 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: Processing by PostsController#new as HTML 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: Rendered posts/_form.html.erb (19.4ms) 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: Rendered posts/new.html.erb within layouts/application (32.8ms) 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 39ms 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: 13: 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `name' for #<Post:0x000000043b8e00>): 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: 14: <div class="field"> 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: 15: <%= f.label :name %><br /> 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: 18: <div class="field"> 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: 17: </div> 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: 16: <%= f.text_field :name %> 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: 19: <%= f.label :title %><br /> 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: app/views/posts/_form.html.erb:16:in `block in _app_views_posts__form_html_erb___4393344465537738631_33651200' 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: app/views/posts/_form.html.erb:1:in `_app_views_posts__form_html_erb___4393344465537738631_33651200' 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: app/views/posts/new.html.erb:3:in `_app_views_posts_new_html_erb___263954971377171473_37473500' 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:35:in `new' 2012-06-17T18:20:21+00:00 app[web.1]: ``` In a nutshell, f.name is an object representing an entry in the database (so is most of the information for f) The "undefined method `name'" error seems strange to me, as it works perfectly locally. My hypothesis is that the database is not linked properly between heroku and my app. However, I don't know how I can solve/check this problem. My app is using the 'shared database' by default right now. Any hints on what check? Something I missed? EDIT 1: migrating database. The table 'posts' seems to be already 'detected'. Here is a trace: ``` Running rake db:migrate --trace attached to terminal... up, run.1 DEPRECATION WARNING: You have Rails 2.3-style plugins in vendor/plugins!
