Hello!
im mobile and I'm trying to migrate my Discord bot (Python) from Replit to Railway for 24/7 hosting.
I pushed my updated code to GitHub and set up the Procfile, requirements.txt, and main.py as recommended for Railway deployment.
However, when I try to connect my GitHub repo on Railway, it keeps asking me to “Configure GitHub App,” even though all permissions are given, and the repo is accessible.
I’ve tried clearing my browser cache, switching browsers/devices, revoking and reconnecting the Railway GitHub App, and making sure I’m logged in with the correct account, but nothing works.
How can I fix this and deploy my bot?
Thank you!

Is the GitHub repo under your GitHub account or an org?
My repository is on Github, and when I create it, it appears that it has access.

where on GitHub though, is it under your personal account or an organization?

Selecting All Repositories will let Railway list all your repos, otherwise if you dont want that then you'd need to add the repo you want through Select Repisitories
In my personal account, I have only one repository, and it contains all the necessary files as I mentioned before. At first, I gave access to only that specific repository in the Railway GitHub App settings, but the deployment did not work. Then, as a test, I changed the setting to all repositories to see if it would make a difference, but I still couldn't deploy.
So, even though Railway has access to my only repository and all permissions are set, the deployment is still not happening. This makes me think the issue is not related to repository selection or permissions, but something else with the integration or deployment process.

at first you said:
However, when I try to connect my GitHub repo on Railway, it keeps asking me to “Configure GitHub App,”
-# But i can see from your video that your application is listed and you can deploy from there
but now you're saying:
but the deployment did not work
so what is the actual root level problem you're facing then?
is your deployment failing to build?
Srry if I wasn’t clear before! The main problem is that when I try to connect my GitHub repo on Railway, it always asks me to “Configure GitHub App”, even though I already set all the permissions and selected the repository. I even tried choosing all repositories just to be sure, but Railway still keeps showing the same configuration screen and never actually gets to the deployment part.
So the issue isn’t that the deployment is failing to build — it’s that I can’t even get to the deployment step, because it just keeps looping back to the “Configure GitHub App” screen every time.

I have the same problem
rag I managed to resolve my situation!
the problem I faced is that when selecting the repository I have to hold it.
In other words, it was never a bug, it was always my mistake!
forgive me!
