Deploy Nodejs on Heroku fails serving static files located in subfolders

Question

I\'m deploying a NodeJs application using Heroku. Everything works fine except a little issue serving static files.

I have the following configuration

Answer 1

Apparently, as explain in this question: Heroku(Cedar) + Node + Express + Jade Client-side javascript files in subdirectory work locally with foreman+curl but not when pushed to Heroku, you can't use __dirname with Heroku.

The alternative seems to be:

// At the top of your web.js
process.env.PWD = process.cwd()

// Then
app.use(express.static(process.env.PWD + '/htdocs'));
