I don't know the solution but. The problem is related to a circular dependency. Node version 14+ is no longer supports circular dependency. Example In fileA

var fileB = require(fileB);

In fileB

var fileA = require(fileA);

I've had similar problems and I think it may be some sort of incompatibility with NPM/Node versions (see discussion here.

I switched to https://github.com/Unitech/pm2 instead and things started working immediately.

try this command:

forever start -c "npm start" ./

running your application's specific directory:

forever start -c "npm start" /path/dir/

or use this command:

forever --sourceDir /path/dir/ -c "npm start" /
