How to run node.js app from directory via vorever?

Question

Node.js

Hello, tell me, what could be the problem, forever refuses to run the application from the directory, and if it is in the directory, then everything is fine, all actions are performed from under root, and it
cd /dirname/ -> forever start app.jsstarts . It
forever start /dirname/app.jssays that it started, but in fact it doesn’t.
What could be the problem?

Answer 1

Well, the first thing that comes to mind is require not one will not work. I didn’t work with forever, I work with supervisord, it has the ability to specify the directory in which the script works. Actually a cursory glance at forever's documentation says that it has a --workingDir key
