title: Node.js MEAN Stack App working locally, but can't deploy to Heroku
body: <p>My MEAN App is organized:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MyApp
    &gt;client
      &gt;app
      &gt;node_modules
      &gt;public
      &gt;views
      &gt;bower.json
      &gt;Gruntfile.js
      &gt;package.json
    &gt;server
      &gt;config
      &gt;models
      &gt;node_modules
      &gt;routes
      &gt;app.js
      &gt;package.json
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Everything works well serving app.js locally. However, I haven't been able to successfully deploy to Heroku. I have some confusion regarding package.json and suspect this may be at the root of my problem. I have two package.json files... one in client that looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "name": "******",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "description": "******",
    "main": "Gruntfile.js",
    "directories": {
      "test": "tests"
    },
    "dependencies": {
      "grunt": "^0.4.5"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
      "grunt-contrib-concat": "^0.5.1",
      "grunt-contrib-watch": "^0.6.1"
    },
    "scripts": {
      "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" &amp;&amp; exit 1"
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And, one package.json in >server:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "name": "**********",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "description": "*********",
    "main": "app.js",
    "scripts": {
      "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" &amp;&amp; exit 1"
    },
    "author": "*******",
    "license": "ISC",
    "dependencies": {
      "bcrypt": "^0.8.5",
      "body-parser": "^1.13.2",
      "connect-flash": "^0.1.1",
      "cookie-parser": "^1.3.5",
      "ejs": "^2.3.3",
      "express": "^4.13.1",
      "express-session": "^1.11.3",
      "mongoose": "^4.1.0",
      "mongoskin": "^1.3.20",
      "morgan": "^1.6.1",
      "passport": "^0.2.2",
      "passport-local": "^1.0.0"
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've initialized the heroku git in the MyApp folder and pushed. The build succeeds, but opening the App does not work. The logs throw many npm ERR!s</p>
  
  <p>I tried writing a new package.json in the MyApp folder without success. I'm not sure if that's necessary:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "name": "*******",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "description": "*********",
    "main": "server/app.js",
    "scripts": {
      "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" &amp;&amp; exit 1"
    },
    "author": "********",
    "license": "ISC"
  }
  </code></pre>
