Heroku + node.js error (Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch)

Question

I have my first node.js app (runs fine locally) - but I am unable to deploy it via heroku (first time w/ heroku as well). The code is below. SO doesn\'t let me write so much

Answer 1

It's worth mentioning that if your code doesn't specify a port, then it shouldn't be a web process and probably should be a worker process instead.

So, change your Procfile to read (with your specific command filled in):

worker: YOUR_COMMAND

and then also run on CLI:

heroku scale worker=1
