Using the below code from an example I found, my Heroku Node.js app crashes. It is not responding when I navigate to [myapp].herokuapp.com<\/p>\n

var http = require('http');\nvar port = process.env.PORT || 8000;\n\nvar counter = 0;\n\nhttp.createServer(function (req, res) {\n\n\/\/ increment the counter for each visitor request\ncounter=counter+1;\n\nvar path = req.url;\nconsole.log(\"requested=\" + path + \" counter=\" + counter);\n\nres.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text\/html'}); \/\/ prepare response headers\n\nres.end(\" :) \"); \n\n}).listen(port);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
my procfile is<\/p>\n
web: node thenameofmyapp.js\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
I have done heroku ps:scale web=1<\/code><\/p>\n
I had some dependencies but removed them to try to get a simple app to work. My current package.json is<\/p>\n
{\n  \"name\": \"thenameofmyapp\",\n  \"version\": \"0.0.3\",\n  \"dependencies\": {\n  },\n  \"engines\": {\n    \"node\": \"0.10.x\",\n    \"npm\": \"1.2.x\"\n  }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Why can’t my app bind to the port?<\/p>\n
EDIT: It looks like even after multiple updates and running heroku restart<\/code>, my app is still running code that doesn’t exist anymore. What’s going on here?<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. \n
    I’m not completely sure what happened, but it looked like Heroku was not restarting when I pushed new code or ran heroku restart<\/code>. I created a new app with the same code and it works.<\/p>\n
    One difference someone else might want to test is that I removed node_packages from my git repo before pushing to the new app.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
