New to the MEAN stack and most of this stuff and have been struggling getting this to work the past couple of days. Just noticed this Issue - glad I found it. Thanks so much for putting this together. For newbies like me, it might be nice to put a disclaimer in the Readme that this version will not work locally, and point to your other version. Again, thanks!

I had the same issue, and agree with bruggles8293.

But if can't run it locally how am I suppose to develop on it? There is no point of having mean-on-openshift if you can't develop on it..

For me, I gave up mean-io at this stage, and turned to IONIC platform:

1. I am just using the cloud database and
2. client platform
   to fulfill my goal.

It works!

Hi,
I juste change a few things in my config/env/development.js :
db: ............MONGO_OPENSHIFT_URL || 'mongodb://localhost:27017/mydatabase-dev',
port: process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT || '3001',
hostname: process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP || 'localhost',

grunt doesn't work but i can start my app locally with "node server"

good luck...;)

Already tried @lleoooell work around. Still struggling to make grunt to work with this.

Any suggestions on deploying the original meanjs repo https://github.com/linnovate/mean on openshift?
