so @heffneil, you weren't able to get it running at all? Are you using port 80? it should run as root so it should fire up no problem
i modified my post to included the chown statement

You should be able to look at the log files to see what the program is doing too.. /PATH/TO/ha-bridge/stdout

I don't believe LaunchAgents fires off as root, but would have to look into it. I use LaunchDaemons and didn't have any issues. If you're using port 80, then it needs to run as root. As it's a daemon, that's where I felt appropriate to put it.heffneil said:
I have no clue where your paths point to. You're supposed to decide that and update the plist, not me."/PATH/TO" should be updated to wherever you want to put things.
Mine is in /Users/mark/ha-bridge, but that's just where i decided to put it.
All of this shouldn't be that difficult
I had lots of errors. I went back to my file but I am putting this in /Users/neilheuer/Library/LaunchAgents

there's a whole lot of wrong in those logs, but you seem to have multiple plists and I can't really tell what directory you're running these from. I will say one thing - if you run the web port on 80 and try to put in in /Users/neilheuer/Library/LaunchAgents, it won't work right as the app will start as user 'neilheuer' and won't be able to bind to 80. That's why i suggested putting it in /Library/LaunchDaemons as it will start as root.
If you're following a guide elsewhere, I guess you should continue to follow that, as the directions we provided in the thread obviously aren't working for you for some reason. I've never used launchd before and had it working in about 5 minutes doing my method. I didn't really consult the internet other that to figure out the format of the plist xml. You might also try to install "LaunchControl" at http://www.soma-zone.com/LaunchControl/ to try and troubleshoot your plist.

Its not port 80 thats the problem here. I have that part all resolved. The issue is something your file right now. Not sure why but it keeps throwing errors when I try yours. Here is what I am using:

What sort of errors is it throwing? Is yours working now?

That could be a problem. LaunchAgents I believe runs in the user context, whereas LaunchDaemons is root. *nix is picky like that
the 0xd at the end of the error log suggests Permission Denied, so that's likely your issue. Make sure the permissions on the plist are set to root:wheel. (ie ls -la /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ha-bridge.plist ; chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ha-bridge.plist). Also you can probably check perms on the ha-bridge files themselves. My guess is some of them are owned by root and starting in the user context prevents said user from accessing the files, hence the 0xd.
