Meteor has changed, and is missing a production deployment in docs.meteor.com.
I have a pretty nice working meteor app in dev mode. So I bundle it with the new command since bundle has been deprecated:
meteor build ./build/ --architecture os.linux.x86_64
On the production server, I install the latest version of nodejs (currently 0.12), copy and decompress the build. The Mongo DB is on an other server, so I just redefine PORT, ROOT_URL, MONGO_OPLOG_URL and MONGO_URL environment variables.
But quickly end-up with the too frequently seen fibers missing error:
module.js:338
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'fibers'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:336:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:278:25)
...........
So, here is what I tried:
- npm install fibers@1.0.1 -g # but it fails.
- npm install fibers -g succeeds and installs the version 1.0.5
Here is the situation:
root@server:~# npm version
{ npm: '2.5.1',
http_parser: '2.3',
modules: '14',
node: '0.12.0',
openssl: '1.0.1l',
uv: '1.0.2',
v8: '3.28.73',
zlib: '1.2.8' }
root@server:~# npm ls -g | grep fibers
├── fibers@1.0.5
root@server:/opt/meteor/authmonitor-src# meteor list-platforms
browser
server
But I still have the same : Error: Cannot find module 'fibers'
Questions:
- Is there an up to date manual on how to deploy meteor applications on local production server?
- Why / how should I install fibers module, and which version?
- export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ partly helped, but after installing with npm install xxx -g the required modules such as underscore and semver, it ends with an other fiber error: "Error: Module did not self-register."
- What would you recommend?
Thanks,
