Forever Node.JS Express 4

问题:

How do you run the Express 4 app with Forever? (or is there a new package?)

I am running my Express 3 apps with Forever installed locally with the package manager. I use the command:

forever -a start app.js

回答1:

Try this:

forever start ./bin/www

Let's take a look to package.json:

"scripts": {
    "start": "node ./bin/www"
},

I guess when we call npm start, ./bin/www will be executed at some point. Then look at the content of./bin/www:

var server = app.listen(app.get('port'), function() {
  debug('Express server listening on port ' + server.address().port);
});

so we are ready to listen for connections.

回答2:

forever start --minUptime 1000 --spinSleepTime 1000 ./bin/www

Try node app.js first, for me, I added a new module in code base, but i did not run npm install in my AWS box, forever is not giving you the error, it just stopped silently, but node will give you the error

If you use npm start to run your app, this works in place of it:

forever start -c "npm start" /path/to/app/dir/

http://expressjs.com/guide.html

in Expressjs guide doc,

use 'npm start'

I want use 'forever' but can not too

so,

add code at 'app.js'

var server = app.listen(3000, function() { console.log('Listening on port %d', server.address().port); });

and

$node app.js

can use it.

and forever can use too
