Having looked into this, the issue appears to be in your application code or configuration rather than the Railway platform itself, which puts it outside what Railway support can resolve directly.

This is exactly the kind of problem the Railway community is good at, so we'd like to open your thread as a community bounty. Railway pays a bounty to the community member who solves it, and threads like this usually get picked up quickly.

Opening it makes this entire thread public, including everything already posted. Nothing becomes public until you decide. Use the buttons below.

• Open to the community - Before you click, take a moment to edit or remove anything you'd rather not share. The thread becomes publicly visible right away.
• Keep it private and close the thread - Nothing becomes public. The thread closes, since this isn't something Railway support can take further.

Have you tried relinking the repository source? What do you mean by "refuses"?

Go to your Railway Dashboard select your service Deployments tab click the failed deployment to expand Build Logs or Deploy Logs.

Why Your GitHub Project Refuses to DeploySince Railway is waiting on your decision, we can try to fix the deployment error right now.

GitHub deployments on Railway usually fail for a few specific reasons.

Check your configuration for these common culprits:

1. Missing Start CommandRailway needs to know exactly how to run your app.Look at your logs. If it says No start command found, Railway doesn't know what file to boot.The Fix: Add a start script in your package.json (for Node.js), a Procfile (for Python/Ruby), or manually type the start command into the Settings > Deploy > Start Command box on your Railway service dashboard.
2. Wrong Port ConfigurationRailway dynamically assigns a network port to your application. If your code hardcodes a port like 3000 or 8080, the deployment will crash or fail health checks.The Fix: Change your application code to listen to the environment variable.Example (Node.js): const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;Example (Python): Ensure your server binds to 0.0.0.0:${PORT}.
3. Root Directory MisalignmentIf your project files live inside a subfolder (like /frontend or /backend) rather than the main root directory of your GitHub repository, Railway will fail to build it.The Fix: Go to your Railway service Settings, look for Root Directory, and change it to match your subfolder name.
4. Missing Environment VariablesIf your code relies on a database URL or an API key to even build or start, the deployment will crash immediately if those keys are missing.The Fix: Copy your keys from your local .env file and paste them into the Variables tab of your Railway service.

What does your deployment log say?To pinpoint the exact error, look at the Deployments tab on your Railway dashboard and click on the failed build.

What is the last error message or crash log written in red text? If you share that error message here, we can likely debug it before the community bounty even opens.
