I have a number of these simple upstart scripts that work fine on other droplets. This is a new droplet and /var/log/upstart/acc.log is filled with /proc/self/fd/9: 4: /proc/self/fd/9: : not found
I can run the script ‘by hand’ and my app comes up just fine. The script is just
start on startup
respawn
script
cd /opt/acc
export PORT=4321
export ROOT_URL='the ip here'
node main.js
end script
I’ve tried adding export PATH and NODE_PATH … same error in the log.
This is a new droplet, but as I said I can run this ‘by hand’ and its fine.
Ideas as to what is wrong or what I can do to find out what is really ‘not found’?

Upstart uses
/bin/sh
while running ‘by hand’ will usebash

thanks for the response. The problem here is/was multiple version of node as well as multiple names ‘node’ vs ‘nodejs’. Ubuntu is a mess. upstart couldn’t find the node app. After many hours of trashing around with
apt-get --purge remove node
and installs. I finally got the single version of node required for this project (Meteor).
