Meteor: "Error deploying application: Your account is not authorized to deploy to Galaxy"

Question

As Meteor is discontinuing its free hosting I'm migrating to Galaxy. I'm following their migrate tutorial but get stuck in the penultimate step, "Deploy your app to Galaxy". I created a galaxy account (let's say my username is "appname") and cd'ed to my meteor app directory, and did this:

$ DEPLOY_HOSTNAME=galaxy.meteor.com meteor deploy appname.meteorapp.com --settings ./settings.json

With this result:

Error deploying application: Your account is not authorized to deploy to Galaxy.

Variations of the command with full or relative path, and with quotes around the strings made no difference.

I'm logged in in my web browser, and meteor's documentation (e.g. How do I deploy an app to Galaxy?) mention no specific requirements. Do I need to authorize myself somehow to deploy this?

Answer 1

With some help from Dan Ahmadi of Meteor I solved this (thanks Dan!). Answering here for anyone that has the same problem.

It turns out I had confused a Galaxy subdomain with a Meteor Developer account. I didn't need to create a developer account for meteor, as I already had one (must've created it during free hosting deployment) and so I was still logged in to that one.

To solve it:

$ meteor whoami
oldusername
$ meteor logout
Logged out.
$ meteor login
Username: appname
Password: 

Logged in as appname. Thanks for being a Meteor developer!
$ DEPLOY_HOSTNAME=galaxy.meteor.com meteor deploy appname.meteorapp.com --settings ./settings.json
Deploying to appname.meteorapp.com.       
Now serving at http://appname.meteorapp.com
