Trying to run meteor up mup setup - meteor

It appears mup setup can't run without a mup.json file. But, it appears the mup.json file is primarily used for mup deploy. Reason I ask is I'm trying to execute mup setup on the host server and it fails without the server credentials but considering that I'm already logged onto the server executing the setup I don't understand why the mup.json is being required in the first place? I'm not deploying an application so none of the application-specific settings would apply, right? If I don't have a mup.json on the server then mup setup throws an error that the mup.json file does not exist. It didn't seem really clear on the meteor up web site. Thanks!

You should run Meteor Up from your local machine as that's what it's designed for. I wrote about how to deploy with meteor up a while back and that should help you.
In a nutshell I believe you're thinking about this the wrong way. With mup, meteor deploy and soon galaxy deploy, you no longer need to "upload" your files and then go and manage them from the server. Instead your files stay local, you deploy (which will upload them) and deployment sets up your server and file structure.

Misunderstanding on my part. mup setup is something you run on your remote machine, not the host machine.

How to view Meteor server errors on production server

Is there a way to access the Meteor server logs on a production server? All I needs is something that records what I'd see as the server console output on my dev machine, in a log file on the server. I would have expected Meteor to log them somewhere by default but I can't find anything.
I'm running Meteor 1.6 on a Digital Ocean droplet, Ubuntu 16.04.3. Deployed with Phusion Passenger.
I've hunted around and there are a bunch of logging packages for Meteor but I can't figure how to use any of them; there don't seem to be any basic examples or instructions.
This must be a really common requirement - anybody know how to do this? Thanks!
Remember that Meteor runs on Node.js. Therefore, many things valid for Node.js is also valid for Meteor like location of the default root folder of the built-in web server. You should check the path "/var/www/html", first for the server logs.

MUP Deployed Site Not Displaying After Update

I used Meteor Up (MUP) to deploy my meteor app to a Digital Ocean droplet. I had some problems with deploying it the first time but I solved all of them and I got it working. I then made some updates to my app but when I deployed it again the page says "This webpage is not available". I have tried re-deploying the app on new droplets with different IP addresses but the same happens. I have run mup setup on each new droplet. It always says success for the setup and for the deployment but nothing shows up.
Can anybody tell me what I have done wrong?
It's likely there is some kind of error with your app, probably not related to deployment if it the issue occurs in the way your describe it.
You'll have to check your app's server side logs for a bit more info:
mup logs -f

How does Meteor Up work?

I recently created a droplet on Digital Ocean, and then just used Meteor Up to deploy my site to it.
As awesome as it was to not have to mess with all of the details, I'm feeling a little worried and out of the loop about what's happening with my server.
For example, I was using the console management that Digital Ocean provides, and I tried to use the meteor mongo command to investigate what was happening with my database. It just errored, with command not found: meteor.
I know my database works, since records are persistent across accesses, but it seems like Meteor Up accomplished this without retaining any of the testing and development interfaces I grew used to on my own machine.
What does it do??? And how can I get a closer look at things going on behind the scenes?
Meteor Up installs your application to the remote server, but does not install the global meteor command-line utilities.
For those, simply run curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh.
MUP does a few things. Note that this MUP is currently under active development and some of this process will likely change soon. The new version will manage deployment via Docker, add support for meteor build options, and other cool stuff. Notes on the development version (mupx) can be found here: https://github.com/arunoda/meteor-up/tree/mupx.
mup setup installs (depending on your mup.json file) Node, PhantomJS, MongoDB, and stud (for SSL support). It also installs the shell script to setup your environment variables, as well as your upstart configuration file.
mup deploy runs meteor build on your local machine to package your meteor app as a bundled and zipped node app for deployment. It then copies the packaged app to the remote server, unbundles it, installs npm modules, and runs as a node app.
Note that meteor build packages your app in production mode rather than the debug mode that runs by default on localhost when you call meteor or meteor run. The next version of MUP will have a buildOptions property in mup.json that you can use to set the debug and mobileSettings options when you deploy.
Also, since your app is running directly via Node (rather than Meteor), meteor mongo won't work. Instead, you need to ssh into the remote server and call mongo appName.
From there, #SLaks is right about how it sets things up on the server (from https://github.com/arunoda/meteor-up#server-setup-details):
This is how Meteor Up will configure the server for you based on the given appName or using "meteor" as default appName. This information will help you customize the server for your needs.
your app lives at /opt/<appName>/app
mup uses upstart with a config file at /etc/init/<appName>.conf
you can start and stop the app with upstart: start <appName> and stop <appName>
logs are located at: /var/log/upstart/<appName>.log
MongoDB installed and bound to the local interface (cannot access from the outside)
the database is named <appName>

deploying wabapps (e.g. moodle) on heroku

What is the proper way to deploy webapps on Heroku? I'm installing Moodle, but the same procedure should apply to e.g. Drupal or Wordpress. What I hace done is to unzip Moodle locally, then uploaded it using git to Heroku. When I then visit my site I get the option to install it and select the database, which works fine. The problem is that the install procedure saves information in the filesystem on the server, which gets overwritten next time I deploy my app. So what is the proper way of doing this?
You have to pre-configure your app with all of the database settings before you deploy to Heroku. So either do a fake "install" on your local environment, or manually edit your php config files.
As you've discovered, Heroku's filesystem is not persistent: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos#ephemeral-filesystem.

How to delete web modules from virtual server in glass fish 3.1.2

I went to directory C:\glassfish3\glassfish\domains\domain1\eclipseApps and delete all the files. I also went to
Then i click on the server. In the default Web module option i have following entries
How can i delete these modules from here. Whenever i tried to deploy webservice i get this message. How can i get rid of this message? I also delete the deployed module from the Application option after which this default Web module option become empty. But then if i try to deploy any webservice , i get the error. Please help
Thank you.
you shold undeploy the old web moudle
use the flow command to do this:
./bin/asadmin --port $port undeploy $app
$port means the "glassfish admin port". when you use start-domain you will see it
$app means the name of the old moudle you want to undeploy, you can use ./bin/asadmin --port $port list-applications commands to see all the web moudles had been deployed to this domain
I had the same problem and I found exist:
go into server/glass fish server (node)/application. And there You've got app blocked Your work. Just delete it, and ready :)
I was having the same problem. I was able to fix it by restarting glassfish. Go to services->Servers. Right click on glassfish and restart. Hope that helps.
