Most of the guides here are outdated, and I can't comment (with my low rep). Also I don't understand how you can just do asked 12 Jan '12, 23:28 drozzy |

you need to install forever and then run your application with forever read dave stevens' fine tut on "real world node.js apps" answered 17 Oct '12, 19:57 marcoslhc Wish I could upvote this. I hate this whole "have to have rep before you can participate" crap.

But how to install forever globally (-g) when you don't have root permissions? Am I right that usually Webfaction accounts have only access to their own home directory + /tmp? Update: now I understand that when node and npm are installed to with python2.7 configure --prefix=$HOME, then npm install -g installs packages to $HOME/lib/node_modules. Clever.

I'm using forever to run my node app. but after my app run out the memory, webfaction will kill the process, and forever will not restart my app. Any ideas ?

@ryanouyang Make a cron job to restart forever if it isn't running.

Node.js starts itself in daemon mode (see If you want to run Node in the foreground but keep it running, it would be done by running it in a screen session. Screen is installed on our systems, and if you spend a lot of time in the SSH terminal, you definitely should check it out. It's essentially a full-featured window manager for the command-line environment. answered 12 Jan '12, 23:42 ryans ♦♦ Hi Ryans. Is there an easy way to understand this guide? Something simpler?

Are you referring to the Node.js installation guide? It's essentially just a bash script, so each line has its own meaning and the installation of software on linux in general is discussed in some very excellent books, such as this one. However, the actual installation should be very simple - you more or less copy-paste the code line-by-line into an SSH session on the server. Because of that installation guide, developing under node should require far more command-line familiarity than installation does.

I do maintain the primary WebFaction Community Node.js installation guide. Are you seeing any particular issues with it that I can fix?
