I would like to run docpac with the help of the forever module (https://github.com/nodejitsu/forever). I am on a debian server with docpad 6.53.0 and node.js 0.10.15. But when I do
cd mydocpad-website
forever start <path_to_docpad>/docpad run
I find the following errors in the log files:
info: Welcome to DocPad v6.53.0, local installation
info: Contribute: http://docpad.org/docs/contribute
info: Plugins: eco, highlightjs, marked, paged
info: Environment: development
error: Something went wrong with the action
error: An error occured:
Error: Could not start the web server, chances are the desired port 9778 is already in use

When I start docpad without forever, everything works fine.
My plan ist to put forever with @reboot in a crontab file. Or is it better to use inittab?
Thanks for any hints.
Have you tried passing the env argument?
Try:
forever start ./node_modules/docpad/bin/docpad run --env static
