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

In my case, I was using example from https://hapijs.com/

To fix the problem I replaced

server.connection({ 
    host: 'localhost', 
    port: 8000 
});

with

server.connection({
    port: process.env.PORT || 3000 
});
