Deploying of todos example fails

[mikkom]

Hi,

I tried to follow the instructions at http://www.managingsoftwaredebt.com/2015/03/25/deploying-meteor-apps-to-cloud-foundry/ the best I could, but did not manage to get the todos example running on Cloud Foundry. One thing I needed to change was the command for creating the MongoDB service. I used cf create-service mongolab sandbox todos-mongo since at least the Pivotal CF was not offering a mongodb service.

These are the contents of manifest.yml

---
applications:
- name: meteor-todos
  memory: 512M
  buildpack: https://github.com/csterwa/cf-meteor-buildpack.git
  services:
    - todos-mongo

And here's the tail of log output:

Any ideas what's going wrong? I'll be happy to provide you with more information if needed.
