I have gone through so many questions regarding forever module for nodejs APP, but did not find my answer.
Forever module is working fine on a Linux box but now I am putting my APP on Windows 7 and trying to run it with forever.
First i installed forever module as
npm install forever -g
after that i ran my app as
forever start app.js
it's running fine by saying file app.js is running with forever and I am accessing my app successfully.
When I execute a command forever stop app.js I get the error
no forever file is running
Please suggest me if anyone has used forever on windows that how can i stop my application on Windows.
use forever list
then forever stop with the id, e.g. forever stop 0
I had this same issue and found that it was because I was running forever start with sudo (on Linux) so that I could run a production site on port 80. This did the trick:
sudo forever list
It is bug for windows https://github.com/nodejitsu/forever/issues/337 If you need stop app, open task manager and find node.js process and kill it. Hard but working.
