PM2 (Node.js) not listening on specified port
I am trying to get a Node/Express application up and running on PM2. I can start the application fine with this command: npm start
This starts the app fine on port 3000.
If I try to start the application with pm2 start app.js I get the following in the log:
{ online: true, success: true, pid: 10714, pm2_version: '0.8.15' }
2014-06-12T19:52:06.789Z : [[[[ PM2/God daemon launched ]]]]

2014-06-12T19:52:07.115Z : /home/user/test/app.js - id0 worker online
In my bin/www file I have the following specifying the port:
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);
I have also tried running export PORT=3000
As well as the following in bin/www:
app.set('port', 3000);
If I run a netstat -an | grep 3000 I get nothing back.
Answer
The answer to this, for anyone using Express, is to run this command:
pm2 start ./bin/www
I had been running pm2 start app.js which did not work.
