heroku app crashes but works great locally

my app works perfectly fine locally and I see no errors when I type git push heroku master. However when I type heroku open and visit the url I see:

Application Error

An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details.

In heroku logs I get the following:

there's a load error and some deprecating warnings I havn't managed to fix. I just updated to rails 3.2.11 not sure if it's related.

gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.2.11'
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '2.0.4'
gem 'bcrypt-ruby', '3.0.1'
gem 'faker', '1.0.1'
gem 'will_paginate', '3.0.3'
gem 'bootstrap-will_paginate', '0.0.6'
gem 'jquery-rails', '2.0.2'
gem 'pg', '0.12.2'
gem 'rails_autolink', '~> 1.0.9'
gem 'rinku', '~> 1.5.0', :require => 'rails_rinku'
gem 'auto_html', '1.6.0'
gem 'acts_as_votable', '~> 0.4.0'
gem 'thumbs_up', '~> 0.6.2'


group :development, :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails', '2.11.0'
end

group :development do
  gem 'annotate', '2.5.0'
end

group :assets do
  gem 'sass-rails',   '3.2.5'
  gem 'coffee-rails', '3.2.2'
  gem 'uglifier', '1.2.3'
end

group :test do
  gem 'factory_girl_rails', '4.1.0'
  gem 'capybara', '1.1.2'
  gem 'cucumber-rails', '1.2.1', :require => false
  gem 'database_cleaner', '0.7.0'
end

This is the first time im pushing to heroku on this (new) computer not sure if this contributes to the problem.

I also get this error when typing git push heroku:

   Running: rake assets:precompile
   rake aborted!
   could not connect to server: Connection refused
   Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting
   TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

Now looking into: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails3x-asset-pipeline-cedar

It looks like you are using the default WEBrick server. Heroku recommends using the 'thin' server. Try adding something like this in your Gemfile:

gem 'thin', :group => :production

Then run bundle install, commit the files with Git and push again to your heroku app. If you haven't done so, you'll need to precompile assets by tryping the following in your command line:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Then, don't forget to run your git commands:

git add .
git commit -m "added precompiled assets"
git push heroku master
