Resolved node.js not finding script

[robetus]

I'm testing node.js in Onyx and with a simple hello.js script:

console.log('Hello World');
​

When I run the script I get the following errors in npm-debug.log (please also see attached for how I'm trying to run the script):

The Application URL, Application Root, and Application Startup File are all correct and showing no errors. Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. Running on:

OS ‪CentOS 6.8 (Final)‬
Product Plesk Onyx
Version 17.0.17

Tooltip for "Run script" is "Run a command specified in the 'Scripts' section of the 'package.json' file."
This button allows you to run scripts registered in your package.json file.

If you want run hello.js file over this functionality you must add the following code into your package.json file:

  "scripts": {
    "hello": "node hello.js"
  },

You can read https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scripts for more details.

Thank you for your reply. What do you mean by "this" functionality? Is there another way I can run the app or start the app in Onyx?

 

[Alexey Sinko]

"this" functionality

- "Run Script"

Following example will be a simple HTTP server that responds to every request with the plain text message "Hello World"

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(80);

Please read something about Node.js. For example https://nodejs.org/en/about/

Okay so when I just click Run I get this (I changed the name of the app to server):

Lifecycle scripts included in node-example:
  start
    node server.js

available via `npm run-script`:
  server
    node server.js

Does this mean it's running?

Okay, I got it working. If I define the Application Root location within the app do I need to also change my Document root in the domains Hosting Settings to match the apps Application Root? I guess I could just test it but I wanted to ask for future readers. Being able to run node.js apps within plesk with a GUI is super sweet!
