Pow.cx Rails Assets Not Loading (IOError: Closed Stream)

Question

Assets are timing out for my Rails app served locally through Pow. When I visit an asset's url directly (eg. '/assets/home.css') I'm presented with this error:

{
    "name":"IOError",
    "message":"closed stream",
    "stack":"/Users/XXX/Library/Application/ Support/Pow/Versions/0.4.0/node_modules/nack/lib/nack/server.rb:158:in `close'
    /Users/XXX/Library/Application Support/Pow/Versions/0.4.0/node_modules/nack/lib/nack/server.rb:158:in `ensure in handle'
    /Users/XXX/Library/Application Support/Pow/Versions/0.4.0/node_modules/nack/lib/nack/server.rb:158:in `handle'
    /Users/XXX/Library/Application Support/Pow/Versions/0.4.0/node_modules/nack/lib/nack/server.rb:99:in `rescue in block (2 levels) in start'
    /Users/XXX/Library/Application Support/Pow/Versions/0.4.0/node_modules/nack/lib/nack/server.rb:96:in `block (2 levels) in start'
    /Users/XXX/Library/Application Support/Pow/Versions/0.4.0/node_modules/nack/lib/nack/server.rb:86:in `each'
    /Users/XXX/Library/Application Support/Pow/Versions/0.4.0/node_modules/nack/lib/nack/server.rb:86:in `block in start'
    /Users/XXX/Library/Application Support/Pow/Versions/0.4.0/node_modules/nack/lib/nack/server.rb:66:in `loop'
    /Users/XXX/Library/Application Support/Pow/Versions/0.4.0/node_modules/nack/lib/nack/server.rb:66:in `start'
    /Users/XXX/Library/Application Support/Pow/Versions/0.4.0/node_modules/nack/lib/nack/server.rb:13:in `run'
    /Users/XXX/Library/Application Support/Pow/Versions/0.4.0/node_modules/nack/bin/nack_worker:4:in `<main>'"
}

I'm using Pow 0.4.0, Rack 1.4.5 and Rails 3.2.12.

I've tried restarting the Pow site, restarting Pow, uninstalling and reinstalling Pow, and restarting my machine.

reformat the error, it's one long line – RadBrad Feb 20 '13 at 20:51 — RadBrad, Feb 20 '13 at 20:51
I fixed it, but I'm not sure how or when. Sorry. – Zane Shannon Apr 09 '13 at 20:16 — Zane Shannon, Apr 09 '13 at 20:16
did you try upgrading node? – codenamev Sep 16 '13 at 16:04 — codenamev, Sep 16 '13 at 16:04

Looks like you might need to update node.js. If you installed via Homebrew, you can use:

brew update
brew upgrade node
npm update npm -g

This will update Homebrew and Node Package Manager.
