I recently upgraded to meteor 1.4.1.1 from an older version. But now I cant seem to start my app anymore!

Help!

After upgrading, I get into the directory of my app then run "meteor --port 7123" which used to (work) fire-up my app in the previous meteor version, but cant seem to get past this error message:

This is a screenshot of the error message that I get while trying to start my app

After running meteor --port 7123 I get: Downloading meteor-tool@1.1.10... this process never completes, then comes the error message indicated in the attached message.

A little research shows that the ENOENT in the error means Error NO ENTity. and I might have a problem with the file, or maybe my path or name of file is wrong. How do I correct this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adding "54.192.225.217 warehouse.meteor.com" to my host file fixed the issue.

If your environment is Ubuntu, then open the terminal and paste 

sudo -i gedit /etc/hosts

Paste: "54.192.225.217 warehouse.meteor.com" at the end of the file. save and close. Now run your app.

    Worked. Any reason for it not to work without this fix? Is the file broken on the blocked IP? – Abhishek Biswal Sep 24 '16 at 17:38

    Why this is a solution? – Wojciech Bednarski Oct 14 '16 at 19:50
  • sudo echo "54.192.225.217 warehouse.meteor.com" >> /etc/hosts # will append that line to /etc/hosts ! Thanks for the solution, it works for me. This was a funny one! – kroe Oct 21 '16 at 16:00
  • Thanks, worked for me on mac as well. How did you find out this solution? Who are you? – vantesllar Oct 27 '16 at 07:53
  • @vantesllar You are welcome. Mmm... I cant remember how I worked out the solution, as it was quite a while back. All I remember was that the error after the meteor upgrade was eating into my deadline so I did extensive research on how to downgrade the meteor version, I think that was how I stumbled on the solution.

  • @SirBT just kidding, wondering how can a human know something like that. – vantesllar Nov 01 '16 at 18:54
  • @vantesllar lol Thanks, It was nothing really I was just in a desperate position ding to fix my app... – SirBT Nov 02 '16 at 09:32
  • For those less experienced with CLI, this also works fine using nano, etc. in place of gedit. – Bemisawa Apr 16 '18 at 19:18
