Hi, How can I solve the CSRF on Railway.
Everything is doing well in local. I can even access to my online Database and push or pull data in local. But it is not possible in production. The mater is that I cannot login to my admin page. I can see the login page, but I cannot login. When I try to login, here is the error that is occuring.

Forbidden (403)
CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.

Help
Reason given for failure:

Origin checking failed - https://andemus.up.railway.app does not match any trusted origins.

In general, this can occur when there is a genuine Cross Site Request Forgery, or when Django’s CSRF mechanism has not been used correctly. For POST forms, you need to ensure:

* Your browser is accepting cookies.
* The view function passes a request to the template’s render method.
* In the template, there is a {% csrf_token %} template tag inside each POST form that targets an internal URL.
* If you are not using CsrfViewMiddleware, then you must use csrf_protect on any views that use the csrf_token template tag, as well as those that accept the POST data.
* The form has a valid CSRF token. After logging in in another browser tab or hitting the back button after a login, you may need to reload the page with the form, because the token is rotated after a login.

What can I do to fix this problem on railway?

Need to set in settings:


CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS = [
    'https://your-base-domain'
]

Hi, How to know my "your-base-domain"

Yabesh • Nov 22 '22

"your-base-domain" is your project name

Rodrigue Roland CODO • Dec 9 '22

You base domain is the root address of your app. In railway you find it in your domains setting for you django application.

I have the same problem! What did you do to solve it? thanks

Gustavo Henriquez • Aug 26 '22

I have a error about utf-8

Gustavo Henriquez • Aug 26 '22

Error: stream did not contain valid UTF-8

Osahenru • Aug 31 '22

I guess it's an error from your HTML file, we'll do justice to properly debugging if I can see a snippet of your code

_pazqua • Dec 7 '22

How can I do that?

McConnell • Oct 13 '22

I have this error too. how did you solve it

Nigismo • Jun 25 '23

Use whitenoise

Davide Fiorini • Jun 2 '23 • Edited

seems it works only if debug=1, with debug=0 it doesn't see static files

Samilly da Silva Nunes • Apr 5 '24

Thank you so much! Really good article

Francis Billa • Sep 9 '22

Osahenru • Sep 12 '22

I need a help. I am meeting an issue with static files.
Here is my settings.py

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
]

After collecting staticfiles and pushing the project to GitHub, Railway can't find the static files, even if they have been pushed on GitHub. Can anyone help me?

In local, everything is working ok.

Albert Gubanja • Oct 24 '22

Everything is ok now.
The whitenoise was missing. I added the whitenoise to the middleware and everything is ok now.
Thanks

Osahenru • Oct 26 '22

Thanks for your feedback

I get this error on my deployed Django webapp. I used bootstrap and also customized my own CSS but the deployed webapp does not seem to find this style.css.

Not Found: /static/css/style.css

My static settings are:

STATIC_URL = 'static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [ os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static")]
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedStaticFilesStorage'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')

I keep getting this error and then it crashes. I have gunicorn in the requirements.txt file and have the Procfile setup as instructed. Not sure what I'm doing wrong

Sebastian Herrera • Dec 25 '22

i had the same. In the step 2, the format of the requirements file should be ".txt" so the command should be pip freeze > requirements.txt

Fox-In-A-Box • Dec 27 '22

Yeah, my requirements file is requirements.txt but I'm still getting the same error

Sagar Prateek • Feb 14 '23

I faced a similar error. Use web: gunicorn 'name-of-application.wsgi' in Procfile, and deploy in a new service because the deploy configurations gets saved.

Sylivester Mberenge • Dec 4 '22

got this error

11 ERROR: executor failed running [/bin/bash -ol pipefail -c python -m venv /opt/venv && . /opt/venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt]: exit code: 1

Do i have to upload my Venv folder?

Sylivester Mberenge • Dec 4 '22

had it resolved, had included a requirement "pywin" which couldn't be installed

Danilo Santana • Apr 11 '23 • Edited

Hi, guys!
I have the same problem with my application. When I run local, it works perfectly. But after deploy on Railway, it does not find the static files.
I tried to use whitenoise in middleware but the problem continues.
I have other site runs good, but my second one has this problem and I don’t know how solve.
My Code can be seen on my github
