Error when trying to deploy to OpenShift

[raju-bitter]

Followed this guide https://github.com/rauchg/slackin/wiki/OpenShift to get slackin up and running on OpenShift. When running locally with node.js, everything is working fine.

Spitsbergen:slackin raju$ git remote add openshift `rhc app-show slackin | grep Git | sed 's/^.*ssh/ssh/'`
RSA 1024 bit CA certificates are loaded due to old openssl compatibility
Spitsbergen:slackin raju$ git push openshift master --force

same problem for me

[joshuatuscan]

same over here!

[benflinn]

try adding in this env variable and try again:

rhc env-set -a slackin BABEL_CACHE_PATH="~/app-deployments/current/repo/.babel.json"

that line should also be added to the wiki for deploying on openshift
