Question

I have a small node.js app running at heroku. Everything was fine until today.

I made a tiny change in one of my .jade files and re-deployed. Now I am getting this in my heroku logs:

I have confirmed that the doniewebapp.js file is still there, and I can even run the app if I use

heroku run node doniewebapp.js

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

I had the same trouble.

Starting process with command `node ./doniewebapp.js <– Backquote does not exist.

$ vi Procfile
:set fileformat=unix
:w

I have solved the problem.
