Environment Setup

Heroku + MongoLab

Steps to reproduce

I have deployed parse on Heroku and I'm able to call the all cloud functions.

When call with '/' it's working showing 'I dream of being a web site.'
But when I call https://myapp-dev2.herokuapp.com/test in browser, it showing error

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.status(200).send('I dream of being a web site.');
});

app.get('/test', function(req, res) {
   //res.sendFile('/app/public/index.html');
   res.sendFile('public/index.html', { root: __dirname });
});
