First Heroku deploy failed `error code=H10`

Question

I deployed my app to Heroku. It's a node.js + express + socket.io app and this is the package.json file

{
  "name": "game_test",
  "author": "Ilya",
  "description": "A test app for our board game",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node app"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "3.0.6",
    "jade": "*",
    "socket.io" : "*"
  },
 "engines": {
      "node": "0.8.14"
  }
}

This is the log I get:

heroku[router]: at=error code=H10 desc="App crashed" method=GET path=/ host=game-test-1.herokuapp.com fwd=37.26.146.185 dyno= queue= wait= connect= service= status=503 bytes=

What does it mean?

Answer 1

Found solution for me here: Heroku + node.js error (Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch)

In my case, my app crashed because it was hard setting the PORT, instead of using the port that heroku dynamically sets, which can be accessed with process.env.PORT

app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000, function(){
  console.log("Express server listening on port %d in %s mode", this.address().port, app.settings.env);
});
