Meteor build does not work on windows

1

hi

meteor 1.4 project. I created meteor build bundle on my windows 10 machine:meteor build C:\Users\MBJ\Documents\GitHub\meteorBundles

node 4.4.7 installed

unpacked the bundle and run the command,

(cd programs/server && npm install)
MONGO_URL=mongodb://user:pw@aws-us-east-1-portal.9.dblayer.com:15417/DBQRSMeteor http://52.50.134.241 node main.js

and I get this error on windows 2012 server

After building the app, edit the package.json in programs/server:

{ 
  "main": "../../main.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node ../../main"
  }
}

Then run npm start (from that directory)

OR

You can automate the process:

meteor build output --directory
cd output\bundle\programs\server
npm install -g json
json -I -f package.json -e "this.main='../../main.js'"
json -I -f package.json -e "this.scripts={ start: 'node ../../main' }"
npm install --production
npm start

No problem,

You might also want to check-out IISNode for managing the app process.

(Or consider a Windows PAAS like Azure)

Thanks, my company makes a product (qlik sense) that for now only works on windows. So I created a demo server on amazon. At first I used the dev client to run it. Runs pretty ok. But is not meant for this job. and on my t2 I had no resources left… so now we have m1.

I want to run it using node 4.4.7 and also install forever. I also looked at using modulus.io but I got a (mongo driver error I guess), funny thing, the same mongo url did work when I used galaxy…

I had to update your proposal to include JSON " like

	{ 
	  "main": "../../main.js",
	  "scripts": {
		"start": "node ../../main"
	  }
	}

next step is to include the mongo url, something like this in my .bat file

cd C:\Users\Qlik\Documents\deployments\QRSMeteor.tar\QRSMeteor\bundle\programs\server
set ROOT_URL=http://saasdemo.qlik.com 
set MONGO_URL=mongodb://uk:p@aws-us-east-1-portal.9.dblayer.com:15417/DBQRSMeteor
set PORT=80
npm start --settings settings-production.json

Not sure where you got the idea npm start accepts a settings option :slight_smile:

That is actually a feature of the Meteor build tool,

You need to parse the json and set as the environment variable “METEOR_SETTINGS”,

Something like this (assuming batch):

json -0 -f settings.json > temp.txt
SET /P METEOR_SETTINGS=<temp.txt
DEL temp.txt

Hi, I get this error

You need to make sure the package is installed (or use an alternative parser):

npm install -g json
