Issue Description

[DELETE EVERYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR ISSUE]

I am with the latest version of Parse-Dashboard that is deployed to Heroku. I have also had a few Parse-Server instances of various versions running on Heroku. I noted that I was unable to upload a file to a Parse-Server version 2.2.24 and above via the Parse-Dashboard. I use Amazon S3 for file storage.

The following messages were logged on Heroku while the file uploading was attempted to a Parse-Server with version 2.2.24 or 2.2.25.

Jan 06 10:00:13 {APP_NAME_ON_HEROKU} heroku/router: at=info method=OPTIONS path="/parse/files/MY_FILE.jpg" host={APP_NAME_ON_HEROKU}.herokuapp.com request_id=e2e6f10a-99ce-4b93-a94d-9a7ed8f0ca41 fwd="183.78.173.3" dyno=web.1 connect=1ms service=4ms status=204 bytes=278

Jan 06 10:00:15 {APP_NAME_ON_HEROKU} heroku/router: at=info method=POST path="/parse/files/MY_FILE.jpg" host={APP_NAME_ON_HEROKU}.herokuapp.com request_id=2de8a8c6-fed6-498f-9bd8-c2dbb897a08c fwd="183.78.173.3" dyno=web.1 connect=2ms service=1137ms status=403 bytes=466

However, it was working well when I tried to upload the same file via a cURL command.

curl -X POST -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: {APP_ID}" -H "X-Parse-Master-Key: {MASTER_KEY}" -H "Content-Type: image/jpeg" --data-binary '@MY_FILE.jpg' https://{APP_NAME_ON_HEROKU}.herokuapp.com/parse/files/MY_FILE.jpg

The file was successfully uploaded to my Amazon S3 bucket.

Can you verify you have configured Parse-Server with a javascriptKey and provided that same javascript key when launching the Parse Dashboard?

[grassland-curing-cfa]

Thanks @apersaud .

I have set up the javascriptKey in index.js on the Parse-server on Heroku.
...
javascriptKey: process.env.JAVASCRIPT_KEY || '',
...

How can I configure the javascriptKey for the Dashboard?

[apersaud]

You can create a config.json (as explained here) with the javascriptKey when you launch the parse-dashboard:

config.json:

{
  "apps": [
    {
     "serverURL": "http://localhost:1337/parse",
      "appId": "myAppId",
      "masterKey": "myMasterKey",
      "javascriptKey": "yourJavascriptKey",
      "appName": "MyApp"
    }
  ]
}

Then:

    $ parse-dashboard --config config.json
