Question

Deploy app twice in same environment

0

Hello, Is it possible to deploy an app more than once in the same environment? I recently deployed an app twice on the same environment. The second deployment succeeded but, unfortunately, the app won’t start. When I look in the logs I see the following. (screenshot below) Does anyone have a clue about the cause? Kind regards, Tom Franckaert.

Tom,

Apps can be deployed as many times as needed on the same node (environment).

Redeploying the app will overwrite the old instance and will leave the data in the database untouched. When columns or entities are remove these will of course lead to data being removed as well.

The error states that your new app (deployment) crashed the environment, this is something for support to have look at. So I suggest to file a ticket with Mendix support and hope I answered your question on deploying
