(More) CloudFoundry problems and upgrading to 6.x

[semmypurewal]

CloudFoundry has changed significantly in version 6, and -- sadly -- it looks like it did not maintain compatibility with version 5 (which we used for the book). This means some of the narrative in the book won't work as described (specifically, seeing logs and troubleshooting).

To make matters worse, if we update to CloudFoundry 6, we lose the interactive push command.

You can see the differences here:

Fortunately, my friend Mike Hennessey has posted some instructions on getting CloudFoundry 6 to work with the code examples in the book. To start, you'll need to download and install the CloudFoundry 6 client on your host machine (instructions are in the link above).

Next, you can find a sample manifest and some additional instructions on Mike's blog here:

And some specific instructions for getting the tweet counter to work in these two links:

I'll post this as official errata and rewrite Chapter 8 for a future ebook update. Let me know if you have any questions or problems.
