failing meteoric deploy

[bd]

I followed the instructions as closely as possible but meteoric deploy fails in the following manner:

Starting forever
error:   Error restarting process: bundle/main.js
error:   Cannot find forever process: bundle/main.js

running forever list as ubuntu and su user shows no running forever processes.
following the instructions here: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager, I updated node to v0.10.25 (was originally v0.8.12 after running meteoric setup) but failed in the same manner. I was looking at issue #18, but closer inspection makes me think they're unrelated.

I am able to start my app with sudo PORT=80 MONGO_URL=mongodb://uzr:[email protected]:10097/ways ROOT_URL=mypublicdns.ec2.amazonaws.com nohup node bundle/main.js &

just spitballing at this point, but here's the permissions for the path mentioned above drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 14 19:23 .forever/. chmod u+w .forever/ doesn't help...

Let me know what else I can do to investigate or help out with this, and thanks for putting meteoric together in the first place.

Shot in the dark, but have you tried chmod +w /home/ubuntu/.forever/?
Also, you can always run supervisord instead.
Let me know if it helps.

changing the directory write permissions doesn't seem to do anything. supervisord instead of what? forever?

I got deploy working by changing line 118 to
sudo -E forever restart bundle/main.js || sudo -E forever start bundle/main.js;

Ah, yeah. PITA that forever still doesn't support conditional restarts.

Care to submit a pull request?

Thanks!
