ssh connection refused when deploying meteor app from nitrous.io to Linode server using meteor up - ssh

Question

See https://github.com/arunoda/meteor-up/issues/171
I am trying to deploy my meteor app from my nitrous box to a remote server in Linode.
I follow the instruction in meteor up and got
Invalid mup.json file: Server username does not exit
mup.json
// Server authentication info
"servers": [
{
"host": "123.456.78.90",
// "username": "root",
// or pem file (ssh based authentication)
"pem": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
"sshOptions": { "Port": 1024 }
}
]
So I uncomment the username: "roote line in mup.json and I did mup logs -n 300 and got the following error:
[123.456.78.90] ssh: connect to host 123.456.78.90 port 1024: Connection refused
I suspect I may did something wrong in setting up the SSH key. I can access my remote server without password after setting up my ssh key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
The content of the authorized_keys looks like this:
ssh-rsa XXXXXXXXXX..XXXX== root#apne1.nitrousbox.com
Do you guys have any ideas of what went wrong?

Answer 1

Problem solved by uncommenting the username and changing the port to 22:
// Server authentication info
"servers": [
{
"host": "123.456.78.90",
"username": "root",
// or pem file (ssh based authentication)
"pem": "~/.ssh/id_rsa",
"sshOptions": { "Port": 22 }
}
