Hapi server on heroku fails to bind port

Question

I'm working on a Hapi server for a ReactJS app but when I try to deploy to Heroku, I get the R10 error "Failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch". What is going on? I'm using process.env.PORT. I also tried parseInt() around it. Also tried disabling varying packages. The build is successful always.

In the Heroku logs, I see the console log from the index.js ("Hapi running on ...") but then the R10 error shows up and the server restarts, then crashes.

==> 🌎 Hapi Production Server (API) is listening on http://localhost:14316 2016-01-22T15:10:33.947571+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Stopping process with SIGKILL 2016-01-22T15:10:33.947571+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Error R10 (Boot timeout) -> Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch 2016-01-22T15:10:34.737554+00:00 heroku[web.1]: State changed from starting to crashed 2016-01-22T15:10:34.724233+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Process exited with status 137

This all runs fine locally when I run with NODE_ENV=production

import Hapi from 'hapi';

    const server = new Hapi.Server();

    server.connection({

    // routes: {

    server.connections[0].name = 'API';

    server.register([

            };

          const store = configureStore();
          const routes = createRoutes(store);

          // this gets called if server side rendering/routing has problems and errors
          function hydrateOnClient() {
            reply('<!doctype html>\n' +
              renderToString(<Html assets={assets} store={store} />)).code(500);
          }

          match({ routes, location: request.path }, (error, redirectLocation, renderProps) => {

            if (redirectLocation) {

              res.redirect(301, redirectLocation.pathname + redirectLocation.search)

            } else if (error) {

              hydrateOnClient();

            } else if (!renderProps) {

              // in some cases this would act as a 404 but that should be handled in the routes
              hydrateOnClient();

            } else {

              const component = (
                <Provider store={store}>

              );

              reply('<!doctype html>\n' +

                    );
            }
          });
        });
    });

    return server.start((err) => {

        if(err) {
            console.log(err);
            throw err;

    });

  }
});

process.env.HOST was undefined on Heroku, and for some reason it didn't like localhost as the host, which caused the issue.

I simply removed the host var all together, so connection looks like:

server.connection({
  port: process.env.PORT || 3000,
  labels: ['api'],
})

thank you! this was starting to drive me nuts because I had the process.env.PORT set up just fine. it was indeed that Heroku didn't like server.connection({ port: PORT, host: 'localhost' }); removing the host param entirely, as you suggested, worked. as such: server.connection({ port: PORT }); cheers!

I had the same problem and I also resolved it by not defining the host property

~2 hrs wasted today trying to fix this. Thanks!

I'm curious to know how did you find this? It was even breaking my MySQL connection.
