Deploying Cloudfoundry meteor buildpack on Bluemix

Question

I'm trying to follow the instructions for the cloudfoundry meteor buildpack to deploy onto bluemix ( see https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/cf-meteor-buildpack). It is failing with the following message:

-----> Downloaded app package (2.7M)

fatal: unable to access 'https://gitub.com/cloudfoundry-community/cf-meteor-buildpack.git/': Failed connect to gitub.com:443; Operation now in progress

        from /var/vcap/packages/dea_next/buildpacks/bin/run:10:in `<main>'

a 'git clone [email protected]:cloudfoundry-community/cf-meteor-buildpack.git' successfully accesses the repository.

Thanks

Looks like it's saying gitub. Did you do cf push my_app -b https://gitub.com... by any chance, instead of github.com? — Amit Kumar Gupta
Can you please post the command you used to push your app to Bluemix? — Jeff Sloyer

To use the Meteor buildpack you need a Meteor app. If you want to use a sample one run the following.

#create example app
meteor create --example leaderboard
cd leaderboard
#upload app to bluemix
cf push leaderboard-changeme -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/cf-meteor-buildpack.git --no-start
#create a db
cf create-service mongolab sandbox leaderboard-mongolab
#attach the db to the app
cf bind-service leaderboard-changeme leaderboard-mongolab
#start the app
cf start leaderboard-changeme

You need to replace leaderboard-changeme with a unique name for your app.

If you have an existing Meteor app you just need need to run cf push leaderboard-changeme -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/cf-meteor-buildpack.git --no-start. If you are using a DB use the above commands to create a DB and attach it to your app.
