Troubleshooting Deployment Errors

I understand you're encountering deployment issues. Without specific error details, I'll provide a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common Next.js deployment problems.

Common Deployment Issues and Solutions

1. Environment Variables

2. Build Errors

3. API Routes Issues

4. MongoDB Connection Issues

5. Middleware Issues

Deployment Checklist

1. Verify Environment Variables:

   • Ensure all required environment variables are set in your deployment platform
   • Check for typos in variable names
   • Verify that client-side variables are prefixed with NEXT_PUBLIC_

2. Check Build Output:

   • Run npm run build locally to catch errors before deployment
   • Review build logs for warnings and errors

3. Verify API Routes:

   • Test all API endpoints locally with tools like Postman
   • Ensure proper error handling in all API routes

4. Database Connection:

   • Verify MongoDB connection string is correct
   • Check network access settings (IP allowlist)
   • Test database connection locally

5. Static Asset Handling:

   • Ensure all static assets are properly referenced
   • Check for case-sensitivity issues in file paths

6. Middleware Configuration:

   • Verify middleware is not blocking legitimate requests
   • Check for infinite redirect loops

7. Dependency Issues:

   • Check for conflicting or outdated dependencies
   • Verify compatibility with your Node.js version

Next Steps

If you're still experiencing issues, please provide:

1. The specific error message from your deployment logs
2. The deployment platform you're using (Vercel, Netlify, etc.)
3. Any recent changes made to the codebase before the deployment failure

This will help me provide more targeted assistance to resolve your deployment issue.
