any ideas as to how to resolve this?

Answer 1

I have not done it with Heroku before, but may be this can be helpful:

Answer 2

I found that this link is an excellent guide (After the fact for me sadly): http://ondrej-kvasnovsky.blogspot.cz/2013/05/how-to-deploy-meteor-on-heroku-with.html

For your question I would use the buildpack they mention above: https://github.com/oortcloud/heroku-buildpack-meteorite

Add it to Heroku:

heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/oortcloud/heroku-buildpack-meteorite.git  -a app-nam

and then I found that since I had an existing partial app, it hadn't set the paths correctly for node or main.js, leading to a command not found error.

I DID have to add this section to the Procfile after I tooled around the actual instance:

web: .meteor/heroku_build/bin/node .meteor/heroku_build/app/main.js

and that did the trick.

** Updated **: The original Buildpack mentioned may be a little out of date. The buildpack meteor-buildpack-horse is still getting updates: https://github.com/AdmitHub/meteor-buildpack-horse
