Meteor 1.4: App not running

XTA · July 28, 2016, 11:30am

I’ve deployed my app via pm2-meteor and get the following error after trying to start the app:

app-0 TypeError: Cannot read property 'slice' of null
app-0     at packages/meteor/url_server.js:11:1
app-0     at packages/meteor/url_server.js:19:1

app-0     at /opt/pm2-meteor/app/app/bundle/programs/server/boot.js:133:5

Any idea what’s going wrong? I’ve deployed via MacOS to Ubuntu 16.04 with --architecture os.linux.x86_64 flag.

Sounds like an issue with your ROOT_URL:

github.com

meteor/meteor/blob/bbc9b75267eb07e899c1a9c257001df41f1aea4b/packages/meteor/url_server.js#L5-L11


var parsedUrl = Npm.require('url').parse(__meteor_runtime_config__.ROOT_URL);
// Sometimes users try to pass, eg, ROOT_URL=mydomain.com.
if (!parsedUrl.host) {
  throw Error("$ROOT_URL, if specified, must be an URL");
}
var pathPrefix = parsedUrl.pathname;
if (pathPrefix.slice(-1) === '/') {

Are you sure it’s set properly?

Yep, you are right. I had a typo within my url.
