rhizome with forever?

[tatecarson]

I'd like to use forever to run rhizome on EC2 so I don't have to use the terminal to start it before a performance, so there's less things to worry about. Forever runs your script using forever start app.js so I can't figure out how to get it to use rhizome config.js. forever rhizome config.js doesn't work. Have you ever used this? Maybe there's a way I can change the way rhizome is called back to start in order to use forever?

thanks again.

hey! Sorry for slow answer. I also use forever, and I usually call the whole path for example forever node /path/to/rhizome/bin/rhizome.js config.js . To get the path to rhizome, you can run which rhizome

I can't quite get it to work.
This starts rhizome fine:
node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/rhizome-server/bin/rhizome.js config.js

but this:
forever node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/rhizome-server/bin/rhizome.js config.js

throws

error:   Cannot start forever
error:   script /home/ubuntu/node does not exist.

Any idea why? That's obviously the correct path because it starts rhizome, but just doesn't work with forever in front of it.

thanks again.

aah sorry my mistake. Here is probably what you should run forever start /usr/local/lib/node_modules/rhizome-server/bin/rhizome.js config.js

[tatecarson]

Hmm can you think of any reason why this wouldn't be working:
sudo ~/.nvm/versions/node/v4.4.2/bin/forever start /usr/local/lib/node_modules/rhizome-server/bin/rhizome.js config.js

It runs forever but doesn't start rhizome.

[sebpiq]

Hmm no ... not really. What error message do you get?

[tatecarson]

Unfortunately there is no error. Forever says it's started but it just doesn't start rhizome. This is what happens:

warn:    --minUptime not set. Defaulting to: 1000ms
warn:    --spinSleepTime not set. Your script will exit if it does not stay up for at least 1000ms
info:    Forever processing file: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/rhizome-server/bin/rhizome.js

then you have some other bug ... activate logging to see it :

 sudo ~/.nvm/versions/node/v4.4.2/bin/forever -a -l /tmp/rhizome.log start /usr/local/lib/node_modules/rhizome-server/bin/rhizome.js config.js

and check out what's in the log with :

tail -n 30 /tmp/rhizome.log
