Node.js: Simple app not working on Heroku
deployment, heroku, node.js
Solution
Have you scaled the heroku app?
$ heroku ps:scale web=1
This is a required step. The `1` is the number of processes you want spawned for your app.
Problem
I've written a basic node.js application and I've managed to deploy it on Heroku without having any problem. I've created my package.json and Procfile, however from logs I see that there is no running processes, thus cannot get any response. What could be the problem? PS: I do not want to use the Express framework My Code: ``` var http = require("http"); http.createServer(function(request, response) { response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"}); response.write("Hello World"); response.end(); console.log("I am working"); }).listen(8888); ``` My package.json: ``` { "name": "node-example", "version": "0.0.1", "dependencies": { }, "engines": { "node": "0.8.x", "npm": "1.1.x" } } ``` Logs: ``` 2012-10-22T12:36:58+00:00 heroku[slugc]: Slug compilation started 2012-10-22T12:37:07+00:00 heroku[slugc]: Slug compilation finished 2012-10-22T12:40:55+00:00 heroku[router]: Error H14 (No web processes running) -> GET aqueous-bastion-6914.herokuapp.com/ dyno= queue= wait= service= status=503 bytes= 2012-10-22T12:50:44+00:00 heroku[router]: Error H14 (No web processes running) -> GET aqueous-bastion-6914.herokuapp.com/ dyno= queue= wait= service= status=503 bytes= ```
