It doesn't work under Mac OS X 10.6.6. Should it? about forever HOT 5 CLOSED

It should work under 10.6.6. Can you confirm this issue is only happening on that build?

from forever.

If you mean Mac OS build I don't have another one, so I can tell nothing about other builds.
If you mean forever build, I've installed it with 'npm install forever'.
This issue happens if I start 'forever start server.js'. Starting in the same directory 'node server.js' normally starts the server.

It looks like a problem in your script, not necessarily with forever. Can you try running forever with a simple example like this:

  var util = require('util');
  var n = 0;
  setTimeout(function () {
    util.puts(++n + ' time this was called');
  }, 200);

Let me know what you find.

Unfortunately your code doesn't work for me. I've tried with the simplest server from nodejs.org example

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(8124, "127.0.0.1");
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8124/');

It works fine with

node server.js

but if I start

forever start server.js

I have the same problem:

I've been running into very similar issues (bad chars) on my os x system with other projects that I've installed with npm recently. zappa was causing the same problem for me just yesterday. The way I got around it was to clone the repo and run 'npm install' from the base dir, ie install locally vs the npm package. Hope this helps.
