Unable to deploy REST based Node.js APP on heroku

Question

I build a Node.js REST implementation using this tutorial .And now i am having problems deploying it on heoroku , local works fine .

Heroku logs :

I believe the problem is with my directory structure. The "main" key of package.json and and the rest endpoints in index.js are not right

Next I was successfully able to deploy my app on Heroku but I am getting the error.My implementation is as follows :

EDIT : I removed the Procfile , compared to shown in following pics ,as I added the "start" key in package.json

Local :

Directory Structure - /webapp is the root directory :

I have package.json file at root directory and /server with different version (about which i am not sure how they should be actually for my ngClient and heroku confiurations )

Files contents of root , /webapp : package.json

  {
      "name": "web_first_package",
      "version": "0.0.0",
      "description": "first node package for project storm",
      "main": "index.js",
      "scripts": {
        "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
        "start":"/myRESTApp/server/server.js"
      },
    "engines": {
        "node": "6.9.x",
        "npm": "3.10.x"

Try using this path in start script ./myRESTApp/server/server.js. You missed the dot. — Anurag Awasthi

@AnuragAwasthi you meant in value for key "start" in package.json of root dirdctory ? — Divyanshu Jimmy

Having two package.json would do you no good. Only first package.json would be processed (which is in outer folder). — Anurag Awasthi

@AnuragAwasthi if i will delete inner package.json then to test in my local i need to run nodemon from root directory ? — Divyanshu Jimmy

@Softxide Change start script to node ./myRESTApp/server/server.js. — Anurag Awasthi
