Error: EACCES, Permission denied - When using forever

[kcar]

I am running nodejs on an Amazon EC2 instance without root user
access. I therefore use 'sudo' to run nodejs.

However when I try and fun my nodejs server with Forever usuing 'sudo'
like this:
"sudo forever start -c node app.js"

I get this error:
"/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory"

Without using 'sudo' with Forever, I get this error in my log file:
"node.js:134
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first
tick
^

What is the best way to run a nodejs server using forever and sudo?

You probably shouldn't run Node as root. Either use authbind or
forward traffic from port 80 to some unprivileged port and have your
app listen on that. Example:

$ sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT
--to-port 8080
$ forever start -c node app.js
