Running a meteor app on Nodejitsu

Question

Deployed a meteor app to a Nodejitsu trial environment but failed to get it to run. Upon executing jitsu deploy from my meteor app directory I get the following error: ReferenceError: Meteor is not defined .

If you have gotten a meteor app up and running on Nodejitsu, please highlight the steps you took and dependencies I might be missing. I will use your suggestions and try to get my app to run. Thanks.

// package.json contents
{
  "name": "test123-meteor",
  "subdomain": "user123.test123-meteor",

/*
* Really not sure about this line here...
*/
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node client/controllers/GeneralController.js"
  },
  "version": "0.0.1-2",
  "engines": {
    "node": "0.8.x"
  }
}

Answer 1

I tried this today and didn't have a problem when using demeteorizer. I wrote the following small article about it on Meteorpedia which includes my custom build script which greatly simplifies deployment.

Meteor won't run on nodejitsu until this bug is fixed: node-fibers won't build on SmartOS . If you want it, you should star the bug or even look into fixing it. (Naively, it looks like the kind of thing that needs more persistence than brilliance; a build issue on just that one OS for a package which builds unmodified on over 5 other OSs.)
