Resolved Node.js support

M

MeekSqueek

New Pleskian
Hi all,

I have attempted to use the interface to enable node support on a website. I have followed the help pages but I am unable to get the application to work - even if it is a simple hello world. I have tested the application by calling node directly and it works fine.

I set the application root, application start-up file and enable node in the interface. When I go to the website I get a 403 forbidden and there is nothing in the logs... I'm wondering what the permissions need to be on the file structure (/public, /tmp and my-app.js).

Any help or pointers would be gratefully received.

Thanks.
 
Can you provide the output of "plesk version" command (via ssh under the root user)?
Also please check if SELinux is enabled. If yes, try to disable it and check again.

Product version: Plesk Onyx 17.0.17 Update #1
Update date: 2016/10/11 13:42
Build date: 2016/10/05 19:00
OS version: CentOS 6.8
Revision: 6425897b6c8fd41a8a3239c6ff2d7583df9b3de0
Architecture: 64-bit
Wrapper version: 1.2

I've tried with selinux enforcing and also permissive and there is no difference. :-(
 
Can you provide the content of /var/log/nginx/error.log (last 20-30 lines)? There should be something about Passenger.
 
Also try to use the following code snippet as a "Hello world" app:
Code: 
const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.statusCode = 200;
  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
  res.end('Hello World\n');
});

server.listen(0, '0.0.0.0', () => {
  console.log('Node.js app is running...');
});

Tried with the hello world app as well, I thought that this my customers app might be an issue so I had thought that I would use this as the test app... same result.


Here are the logs from httpd/error.log after a service httpd restart and attempt to load the app.

again tried the hello world app and still same result :-(

Update: The Hello World app works fine when called like this:
root@lightning my-app]# /opt/plesk/node/4/bin/node ./app.js
And when the listening port is changed from 0 to 8080 (firewall opened on 8080 also)

After the investigation on the server I found the following. You have an .htaccess file in the docroot of domain (httpdocs directory). This file has strange enough permissions (webserver could not read it). I didn't fix the permissions on the file, but renamed it into .htaccess.bak (because it contains some rewrite rules related to PHP app). After that Node.js app become happy :)
 
Hello , I have the same error but i haven't .haccces on my domain root , any idea to resolve it

thanks
