I downloaded forever module from the following link
https://github.com/nodejitsu/forever
I extracted the zip file and placed it in my node_modules folder. and from my command prompt went into the node js path and gave
forever filename.js as instructed.But i received the error as below
C:\Users\290495\Desktop\newnode\Manoj\Node\nodejs>forever testing.js
'forever' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Don't know where i am goin wrong.Anyhelp will be much appreciated
Forever needs to be installed globally. Install it with the -g flag i.e. npm install forever -g
Correct syntax is forever start app.js, but for some reason it doesn't work on Windows. No error message, but the application doesn't run.
There was a bug in forever (on windows). Forever-win is a windows compatible version for it. Try below commands on windows command prompt, hopefully you should be able to run it successfully.
Install 'forever' and 'forever-win' globally
npm -g install forever
npm -g install forever-win
Start app using forever
cd <<project directory>>
forever start <<app.js>>
