First off, props to robmoggach for creating a script that attempts to do the job, however I'm working on a Meteor app that requires Mongo and found that the script wasn't setting everything up to completion. Here's an attempt to catalog all the steps I performed, in the hopes it might save someone a bit of headache someday:

1. Use the WebFaction web dashboard to provision your app directories

  • Log in, go to Domains/Websites > Applications, click to add a new application
  • Name this one for your Meteor app (for the rest of this doc let's use myapp as your moniker), e.g. myappmeteor
  • Change the app category to Custom, type to Custom websockets app (listening on port), check to open a port in the firewall
  • Save and note the port number you get (let's say it's 20000, you'll need this later)
  • Click to add a second application
  • Name this one for the Mong

What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics
  • elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
