Bundling commands:

meteor bundle bundle.tgz 
mv bundle.tgz ..
cd ..
tar -zxvf bundle.tgz
sudo cp -a bundle/. ../<project_name>-production/bundle/
cd bundle
rm -rf programs/server/node_modules/fibers/

package.json

{
  "name": "appName",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node main.js"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "fibers": "1.0.1",
    "forever": "*"
  }
}

Does this work with Meteor 1.3? I can't seem to get it working.

Same here :(

I've gotten it to work Meteor 1.3. Sort of... It all deploys no problem at all. The trick for me was to run npm install inside of bundle/programs/server folder then remove bcrypt and fibers from node_modules.

Although there are problems with using Meteor.settings, as EBS doesn't allow JSON to be used for the env variables.

The other problem I'm having is none of my subscriptions are working as WebSockets seem to be blocked. I keep receiving the error below.

WebSocket connection to 'ws://app-name.ap-southeast-2.elasticbeanstalk.com/sockjs/173/coo8rji6/websocket' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 400

@JacquesRobin I developed this on Windows and ran it on Linux on AWS EBS.

@justindra i found a google group here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/meteor-talk/VxMQzpVFpME they talk about the websocket setup. and there is also a stackoverflow tip for the nginx config that can serve the websocket here:
