heroku cannot work with my python script

Question

I'm new to python and flask. The flask's document says you can deploy your app to heroku for public access. So I turned to heroku site. I followed the getting started guide step by step. I deployed the app successfully, but when I tested with the given url like https://mighty-falls-2223.heroku.com/, it said there was error.

The error message is:

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.

I tried heroku logs command:

I also tried heroku ps:scale web=1 command:

Scaling dynos... failed ! No such process type web defined in Procfile.

the python code(in the file named index.py) :

from flask import Flask, make_response, request, json
import json

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/test', methods = ['POST'])
def test():
    resultJson = json.dumps(request.get_json())
    response = app.response_class(resultJson, mimetype = 'application/json')
    return response

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.debug = True
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0')

the Procfile:

web:gunicorn app:app

(I have followed dirn's suggestion to change Procfile content to web:gunicorn index:app, But the error is still here.)

the requirements.txt :

Flask>=0.9
Jinja2>=2.7.2
Werkzeug>=0.9.4
gunicorn>=18.0

Since I am new to these things, so I just copy and paste others' Procfile and requirements.txt .

All the files are in one directory.

In the local environment, I just need to open terminal, and run command: python ~/index.py, and the terminal shows:

* Running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/
* Restarting with reloader

Then everything is working as it is. From the client app, I can post to url:http://0.0.0.0:5000/test with some json data, and the client app will receive the same json data.

I don't know how to fix it. I just want to run this script in a server and the script can response to the client app's request from the Internet.

The problem is with your Procfile.

web:gunicorn app:app

This tells gunicorn to run the WSGI application named app that can be found in a module or package named app. Your module, however, is named index.

You can either rename index.py to app.py or change the contents of your Procfile to

web:gunicorn index:app

heroku cannot work with my python script
