Deployment of MeteorJS and React app on Azure

Question

I've just deployed my app on Azure Ubuntu server following this tutorial https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/walkthroughs/deploy/meteor/aws/apache/oss/xenial/deploy_app.html

Localhost: node v6.9.4, Meteor 1.6.0.1 Server: v6.12.2, Meteor 1.6.0.1

I've pushed absolutely the same files to heroku and it works. I've pushed a different project to Azure following the same steps and it also works. Therefore, there is something particular in this project that Azure does not like :(

On my local server everything works fine, but on the server it does not work. In Apache /var/log/apache2/error.log I get the following error: What could it be?

This is the content of shops.js file

import {Meteor} from 'meteor/meteor';
import {Mongo} from 'meteor/mongo';
import SimpleSchema from 'simpl-schema';

export const Shops = new Mongo.Collection('shops');

if (Meteor.isServer) {
  if (Shops.find().fetch().length == 0) {
    console.log('Shops collection was empty, adding shops from scratch...');
    Shops.insert({
      organisation: 'Shelter Scotland',
      address: "134 Nicolson St, Edinburgh EH8 9EH",
      openingHours: {
        'Mon': '10.00am - 5.45pm',
        'Tue': '10.00am - 5.45pm',
        'Wed': '10.00am - 5.45pm',
        'Thu': '10.00am - 5.45pm',
        'Fri': '10.00am - 5.45pm',
        'Sat': '10.00am - 5.45pm',
        'Sun': '11.00am - 4.00pm'
      },
      secretCode: 6543652765
    })
  } else {
    console.log('shops collection is not empty');
  }

  Meteor.publish('shopsPublication', function() { 
    return Shops.find({});
  });

}

Answer 1

I've updated all dependencies on the server and my app. Now it all works! Especially npm and node packages.
