Auth and Login Issues

  • Missing AUTH_GOOGLE_ID or AUTH_GOOGLE_SECRET
  • NEXTAUTH_URL mismatch with your live domain
  • Callback route blocked by proxy misconfiguration

PM2 and Build Issues

  • No initial commit before push to main
  • Environment changes not applied without --update-env
  • Build artifacts stale after dependency changes

Fast Recovery Plan

Rebuild, restart PM2, inspect logs, and run endpoint checks in sequence. This catches most deployment failures quickly.
