node.js - Heroku Node App Resources Not Loading -

i have express node app runs fine locally, when deploy heroku files under /public , /bower_components not found.

this post seemed have similar problem, solution did not work me.

here relevant part of app.js:

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public'))); app.use('/bower_components',  express.static(__dirname + '/bower_components')); 

here package.json file:

{   "name": "myapp",   "version": "0.0.0",   "private": true,   "scripts": {     "start": "node ./bin/www",     "postinstall": "bower install"   },   "dependencies": {     "express": "~4.9.0",     "body-parser": "~1.8.1",     "cookie-parser": "~1.3.3",     "consolidate": "~0.10.0",     "morgan": "~1.3.0",     "serve-favicon": "~2.1.3",     "debug": "~2.0.0",     "bower": "^1.3.12",     "dustjs-helpers": "~1.4.0",     "dustjs-linkedin": "~2.5.0",     "node-compass": "0.2.3"   },   "engines": {     "npm": "2.7.1"   } } 

in browser console can verify files present

this leads me believe there issue heroku reading __dirname correctly.

this issue solved post. node.js express app crashes on heroku, works locally

i had move following lines above other app configuration lines in app.js

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public'))); app.use('/bower_components',  express.static(__dirname + '/bower_components'));
