Cannot run sails on Pivotal Web Services

Question

So I tried to load a super simple demo with blank sails template using this

https://github.com/danielkennedy/sailsjs-demo

$ sudo npm install sails -g
$ sails new sailsjs-demo
$ cd sailsjs-demo

Modified config/local.js:

port: process.env.VCAP_APP_PORT || 1337

If I do cf push -c "sails lift" -m 150M my-sailsdemo and go to my-sailsdemo.cfapps.io or my-sailsdemo.cfapps.io:1337 from the browser, there is nothing and the browser kept spinning.

Then I visited this site

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/nodejs-buildpack

and changed command line to

cf push -c "sails lift" -m 150M -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry/buildpack-nodejs.git my-sailsdemo

It is still the same issue.

Although the app is running just fine.

I am assuming either node.js or sails.js did not load right. What did I miss?

Probably the order of the parameters in the command, try this order: `cf push my-app -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry/nodejs-buildpack"` — securecurve, Sep 11 '15 at 18:22

Turned out I missed creating manifest.xml file. I thought it was optional. Basic mistake.
