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

I had the same issue because I didn't define Procfile. Commit a text file to your app's root directory that is named Procfile without a file extension. This file tells Heroku which command(s) to run to start your app.

web: node app.js
