    <p>I just deployed a meteor js app on an EC2 ubuntu server. I installed <a href="https://npmjs.org/package/forever" rel="nofollow">forever</a> and added the following startup script to /etc/init/meteor.conf</p> <pre><code>start on (local-filesystems) stop on shutdown script cd /home/ubuntu export PORT=80 MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost27017/parties ROOT_URL=http://ec2-54-235-1-185.compute-1.amazonaws.com exec forever start bundle/main.js end script </code></pre> <p>When I go to start my app using: <code>sudo service meteor start</code>, it reads:</p> <pre><code>meteor start/running, process 12481 ubuntu@ip-10-98-57-161:~$ </code></pre> <p>But when I enter the public DNS in my browser, nothing.</p> <p>So I then type the command <code>forever list</code> and it list three rows with some information and a column for log files. So I then open the last log file in vim to see it's contents and I'm seeing the following error:</p> <pre><code>/home/ubuntu/bundle/programs/server/boot.js:184 }).run(); ^ Error: MONGO_URL must be set in environment at Object.&lt;anonymous&gt; (packages/mongo-livedata/remote_collection_driver.js:32) at Object._.once [as defaultRemoteCollectionDriver] (packages/underscore/underscore.js:704) at new Meteor.Collection (packages/mongo-livedata/collection.js:66) at packages/service-configuration/service_configuration_common.js:8 at packages/service-configuration.js:43:4 at packages/service-configuration.js:52:3 at mains (/home/ubuntu/bundle/programs/server/boot.js:153:10) at Array.forEach (native) at Function._.each._.forEach (/home/ubuntu/bundle/programs/server/node_modules/underscore/underscore.js:79:11) at /home/ubuntu/bundle/programs/server/boot.js:80:5 error: Forever detected script exited with code: 1 </code></pre> <p>I've tried about ten different ways of starting the app and everytime I get the same error. One thing worth mentioning: When I run my app using: </p> <pre><code>sudo PORT=80 MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/parties ROOT_URL=http://ec2-54-235-1-185.compute-1.amazonaws.com node bundle/main.js </code></pre> <p>It starts up, and I can access it through my public DNS, but of course, as soon as I close my terminal the app dies.</p> <p>Does anybody know how I can fix this?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
