Heroku errors with Meteor 1.4.1.1 - node.js

Question

I was following this guide in order to deploy my app. There are no errors with my push, however when I open the app on my heroku dashboard I am met with an application error page.
This is what the logs show:

I have tried both the https://github.com/AdmitHub/meteor-buildpack-horse.git and https://github.com/jordansissel/heroku-buildpack-meteor.git buildpacks. Any ideas what I could try to get this running?

Answer 1

Hope I will helps.
That is the guide I used to do it, and every things was Ok for me:
https://medium.com/#leonardykris/how-to-run-a-meteor-js-application-on-heroku-in-10-steps-7aceb12de234
With this buildpack(https://github.com/dassiorleando/heroku-buildpack-meteor), I forked from (https://github.com/jordansissel/heroku-buildpack-meteor) and edit the node engine version to allow me to deploy my app made with the new version of meteor(1.4.X.X).
If it was helpful, just mark it as the best answer, if not give us for example a github repository with a simple version of the app you want to deploy on heroku, then we will try to do it and better figure out what is wrong.

Answer 2

To get meteor to deploy on Heroku I had to use https://github.com/AdmitHub/meteor-buildpack-horse.git#beta for my buildpack and update meteor to 1.4.2.3

Answer 3

I had this issue and I had to edit the "name" package.json to match the name of the app on heroku. This is why it is recommended that you use the same name of the app when you run "meteor create" when you create the app via Heroku (either command line or in the Heroku Console)
