Uploading node.js app in bluemix

I created a Node.js app that works locally. It contains various routes as well as a login/registration system. Everything is fine. I can login,register,and apply all requests(GET,POST,PUT,DEL) through postman!

Now I want to post that app in bluemix. I created a manifest.yml file as shown. 

applications:
name: larissa-capstone
memory: 256M
disk_quota: 512M 
buildpack: nodejs_buildpack
domain: mybluemix.net
command: node server/web-server.js

However after running the push command cf push,I get the following error.

Incorrect Usage. The push command requires an app name. The app name can be 
supplied as an argument or with a manifest.yml file.

But I have the app's name in the manifest file. Why is this happening?

Thanks,

Theo.

Solution

  • The manifest.yml does not have the required format. The name needs to be preceded with a dash and the other lines need to be indented. Try something like this:

    applications:
- name: larissa-capstone
  memory: 256M
  disk_quota: 512M 
  buildpack: nodejs_buildpack
  domain: mybluemix.net
  command: node server/web-server.js
