deploy nodejs to heroku

Question

I've followed the getting started guide to deploy a nodejs application to heroku: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/nodejs

It worked fine until git push heroku master. This terminated with the following output:

git push heroku master

error: failed to push some refs to 'git@heroku.com:morning-plateau-9747.git'

I don't know how to fix this. The application is still a barebone. I decided to get it up and running on heroku and then incrementally add the features I wanted. It runs great on localhost, npm installs all the dependencies without an error and with a Procfile it even works with foreman. I've used github to create the repo and cloned it on my machine. Deploying to my github account works without problems. Here's the link to the repo https://github.com/lhk/zwillenhomepage

What can I do ?

Relevant package.json:

{
  "name": "zwillen-webseite",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "server.js"
  },
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "engines": {
    "node": "0.6.x"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "3.0.x",
    "socket.io": "0.9.8",
    "jade": "0.27.0"
  }
}

Basically the hiredis module in context is being used by socket.io.

If you refer to the thread mentioned in eis' answer, you'd see that both of you are using socket.io 0.9.8.

Try using 0.9.6 (I use it on heroku and have never had such problems).

Quite odd. I had the same error with socket.io 0.9.10, downgrading to 0.9.6 fixed it. Thanks! According to this https://github.com/LearnBoost/socket.io/issues/1030 they've removed redis in a recent commit, so that error should go away soon. – codemonkey Oct 04 '12 at 10:34
Thanks for that, would have had no chance – Adam Waite Oct 09 '12 at 15:25

You need to remove node_modules/hiredis from source control by adding it to your .gitignore file. See the full answer at socket.io + node.js on heroku

Basically it is trying to compile hiredis and failing. Is this intentional, do you need it? Do you have a reference to hiredis in your app? If so, that might be the culprit. If not, I'd try contacting Heroku support.

deploy nodejs to heroku
