runtime.database_ssl

SSL settings of the database connection do not match

A mevcore app hosting error at the “start / health check” stage.

What it means

One side requires SSL and the other does not use it.

The build passed, but the app did not start or did not answer the health check.

Typical causes

The app does not listen on 0.0.0.0 and the port from the PORT variable
An environment variable is missing, or the database or Redis is not connected
The start command is wrong or the process exits right away

How to fix it on mevcore

For an external database that requires SSL add sslmode=require (PostgreSQL) or ssl options to the connection string. For the database from the «Services» tab remove sslmode=require / ssl=true from the variables on the «Environment» tab.

1 Open the app in the mevcore panel: the Problems card on the overview shows this error and the log line it was found in.
It is fixed on the “Environment” tab of the app.
2 After the fix, deploy again. If it fails again, the log ends with [mevcore] lines naming the new error code.
3 The "Ask AI" button next to the error prepares a request for ChatGPT or Claude: the error code, the end of the log without secrets and the app settings.
