Hi I developed a small application in nodeJs and angular using the angular-fullstack generator for grunt, following the instruction on: https://npmjs.org/package/generator-angular-fullstack, when I finished the developement run:
3) yo angular-fullstack:deploy heroku
4) cd heroku && git push heroku master
my application now is on heroku and the dynos starts, but when I visit the domain where heroku put my application: http://dollsdresses-gnosis.herokuapp.com/
I can see that some files are missing: main.css, script.js , all I can see is a white page with my favicon, when I use my application on my computer, running: grunt server, it works, so I think there is something that I do not know or do wrong on deploying on heroku.
You may not have added main.css, script.js et al to git, so they are not pushed to Heroku when you run git push heroku master. Make sure to git add them.

I'm trying to create two applications(NodeJS backend and ReactJS Frontend) using a VPS server with Dokku (mini Heroku) configured.
Basically, that's what i did so far:
Created a folder for the project on my VPS server for my project
Entered inside the folder previously created
Executed the following command:
git clone:<project_url_backend>
Then I entered the backend's folder created by the git clone command and then executed:
dokku apps:create backend-proj
git remote add dokku dokku#<my_ip>:backend-proj
git push dokku master
Everything looks fine until here and when I open the link that dokku created for the backend, it opens fine and I can use the backend correctly.
So I repeated the process for the frontend.
Inside the project's folder, i run:
git clone:<project_url_frontend>
I entered on the subfolder created by git and then run:
dokku apps:create frontend-proj
git remote add dokku dokku#<my_ip>:frontend-proj
git push dokku master
It builds fine, but when I open the created link for the frontend project, it opens the backend, not the frontend.
Ps: I had issues with the react project(frontend), so I had to fix the Procfile, and run the frontend project by a server.js with express.js, serving the react application. I don't know whether this might have some influence on the process but I had to say anyway
The problem was that I needed to put express.js as one of the required dependencies inside the package.json file. Then I recreated the application on Dokku and then it worked fine
I have a node.js app in a git repo that looks like this:
/docs
/server
.gitignore
The actual node app is in the 'server' folder, but both it and the docs are in the git repo seen above.
I went through heroku's instructions for creating an app, and have the heroku cli installed on my laptop.
I went into the server folder of my repo and ran heroku create and made sure there was a new remote for heroku afterward-- there was. I also made sure to run heroku buildpacks:set heroku/nodejs and it did so successfully. (I can see that in my heroku dashboard.)
But when I try git push heroku master I get the error in my post title.
Just for fun, I deleted my app on heroku and this time ran heroku create from the root folder, and not the server one. I also ran heroku buildpacks:set heroku/nodejs again. I double-checked the new heroku app name and remote and tried to push again. Unfortunately I got the same "App not compatible with buildpack" message.
Is all this because my git repo's root folder doesn't have a package.json file? Is there a way I can tell heroku, 'hey, look in the server folder for package.json when you're building'?
I built a Meteor app, and it runs on my local machine, where I have meteor installed.
I have never deployed an app online, and am trying to put the app on heroku.
I first tried to use buildpack/jordansissel/heroku-buildpack-meteor.git, but I got an error "Meteor requires Node v0.10.41 or later"
I then tried to use buildpack/michaltakac/meteor-buildpack-horse.git but it failed to push because it couldn't unpack Node.
Lastly I've tried kevinseguin/heroku-buildpack-meteor.git but I get lots of warnings about npm depricated http://prntscr.com/bewzak
When I look at the logs it says "Slug compilation failed: failed to compile Node.js app"
I also get Error: MONGO_URL must be set in environment
I don't know enough to understand what the errors are, or how to get my app deployed
Image of errors: http://prntscr.com/bex0av
my goal it to get the site on gr-fireworks.herokuapp.com
I contacted Heroku helpdesk and they said they couldn't help me because the issue was outside the scope of Heroku Support.
I tried to reach out to Snap CI who said they were successful in deploying it, but when I try to type in exactly what they did, I am still getting the error about Node https://snap-ci.com/ankitsri11/Fireworks/branch/master/logs/defaultPipeline/1/Heroku?back_to=build_history
My repository I'm trying to deloy is on git at github.com/jschwarzwalder/Fireworks
From description of your problem I can conclude you need to do 2 things on your app's Heroku dashboard (Settings tab):
Add MONGO_URL environment variable that points to your Mongo DB database. You can create mongo instance on external service or use mLab Heroku addon (it has free plan).
So your environment variables may look like:
Also, you may need to add METER_SETTINGS if you use --settings settings.json and ROOT_URL - URL of you app gr-fireworks.herokuapp.com (is required).
Set this buildpack:
Ensure you have .git at the end of url.
Now you can deploy your app using single command (if you setup Heroku Toolbelt and heroku remote points Heroku's app repository):
$ git push heroku master
I have a great working website built with MEAN and works great locally.
i wish to deploy it on my server,
but i never deployed a website
other than uploading the files to my website ftp.
Tutorials anyone?
Another good starting point would be Digital Ocean, they offer a one click install MEAN stack, with tutorials. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-the-mean-one-click-install-image
I have just deployed my MEAN Stack application on Heroku cloud application environment. The deployment steps are easy.
Steps to deploy:
Your mean stack project structure should be like this. This is very important step. The bottonline is your package.json and server.js should be under your root directory. Have a look at the link to know more about the structure.
Clone your remote repository locally i.e. git clone https://github.com/heroku/node-js-getting-started.git
Go inside the cloned repository e.g. cd node-js-getting-started
Run git add .
Run git commit -m "Sample"
Run Heroku login (It will ask you to press any key and then open up the browser and ask you to click login. After logged in closed the browser instance.
Run heroku create myApp --buildpack heroku/nodejs. Note: Buildpacks are responsible for transforming deployed code into a slug, which can then be executed on a dyno. More information
Run git push heroku master. Your deplyment will start.
Once deployment is done, you will see the complete deployment logs on command prompt terminal
The application is now deployed. Ensure that at least one instance of the app is running: heroku ps:scale web=1
Run heroku open. It will run your deployed instance.
Run heroku logs to view information about your running app. More information

What operating system do you plan to host it on?
I'm trying to deploy a simple Geddyjs (node.js) app to Heroku.
When I make a push a recive that error:
git push heroku master
Heroku receiving push
Heroku push rejected, no Cedar-supported app detected
What I have to do to that heroku detect the nodejs app?
couple of things did you do this for cedar you need to explicitly say this (I am sure you have done this but here for completeness)
heroku create --stack cedar
ensure that your package.json is at the root
heroku have a good article on this
You should now be able to
git push heroku master
Have you added Procfile and package.json to your local git repo. and committed them?
I had created them but forgot to add & commit them so when pushed these files weren't uploaded hence Heroku didn't know the type of app.
Adding, committing & re-pushing fixed this.
Obvious when you know:-)
