Heroku + node.js error (Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch)

Question

I have my first node.js app (runs fine locally) - but I am unable to deploy it via heroku (first time w/ heroku as well). The code is below. SO doesn\'t let me write so much

Answer 1

I realized that I don't need the port number in the request endpoint, so the endpoint was herokuapp.com and not herokuapp.com:5000.

The listen() call can be without host and callback:

server.listen(5000);
