Nodejitsu while while starting node.js app - node.js

Question

I am very new to node.js, I just followed the steps to create a simple node.js application. Here it is on github
I ran the command jitsu deploy from the terminal to deploy it on nodejitsu, however I got this error right here, please any help on what could be wrong with code files?
Here is the code on git hub
Here is the error that is appearing:

Answer 1

You're server.js is exporting a function, but that doesn't get run. Just the body of your start function as top-level code directly inside the server.js module so that it executes when nodejitsu starts your application.

Answer 2

Nodejitsu is very picky about how quick your deployments listen on the system. There is a certain time frame between the start of deployment and end of deployment before your deployment is considered a failure. When it doesn't listen on a port for so long, it ends up giving you this error.
Rather than using your current start function, why don't you try creating your HTTP socket in index.js and then passing it into your start function as well, since you're already passing routes and handle to it?
For example, in index.js:
var http = require('http'),
server = http.createServer().listen(8080);
start(server, router.route, handle);
Then, rather than using http.createServer(onRequest).listen(8080) in your server.js file, you can use something like:
var start = function (server, route, handle) {
function onRequest(request, response) {
/* Your request stuff here */
}
server.on('request', onRequest);
};
This would most likely solve the whole problem.
