Install fails with a node exception

[benschwarz]

I installed the latest node using updated brew, then installed npm from curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

Here is the output that I receive.

⚡ curl get.pow.cx | sh

Please try again with the latest version of Pow and reopen if it's still an issue.

This issue still persists on 10.7 with the latest version of Pow.

I am also seeing this issue on 10.7, after uninstalling and reinstalling Pow.

Actually, re-running the installed seems to get further, before finally failing at the network configuration. Here's a gist: https://gist.github.com/1211551

I have the same issue on 10.7 also on reinstalling Pow.

I'm seeing this on 10.7.2 as well.

I found a way to fix this (well not really a fix just "WTF i just want it to work " work around)

Run the install, let it fail.
Then
cd in to the $POW_BIN folder (check install.sh for location)
sudo ./pow --install-system
sudo launchctl load -Fw /Library/LaunchDaemons/cx.pow.firewall.plist 2>/dev/null

rerun the install.sh and everything will install normally.

@CodeMonkeyKevin: Could you paste the output of sudo ipfw list por favor? I suspect the user-installed (normal) version is having some issue configuring the Lion firewall for forwarding 20559 -> 80. (In fact, it turns off my WiFi. #241)

Mahalo.

Seeing this issue on a fresh copy of OS X 10.7.2

Had the same issue. Completely removing the $POW_ROOT and ~/.powconfig (which had broken config btw) solved the issue.

[maca]

same issue here, I previously had pow running

  execvp(): No such file or directory

[allaire]

How I got rid of this error:

1. Run the uninstall
2. Delete ~/Library/Application Support/Pow
3. Reinstall

Success.

[mmzoo]

Weird enough, following allaire's steps (above) and then running the installer twice did the trick.

FYI, removing my ~/.powconfig file uninstalling and reinstalling Pow fixed this for me (running 10.7.3)
