Unable to run this project on "Node JS - AWS Lightsail instance"

[rohitcoder]

Hi @lovasoa ,

Thanks for creating this awesome project and making it public!
Can you please help me with installation on a remote server?

I installed this on my localhost and everything seems working. I used

Git clone https://github.com/lovasoa/whitebophir/
npm install
npm start

But, when I do this same on my AWS instance. its just listing all files and directories "index of/"

I also got this kind of response on my CLI

server started	{"port":8080}

Can you please help me fixing it ASAP?

Thanks,
Rohit Kumar

It looks like the server started successfully on your remote instance, on port 8080, but you are trying to access the server on port 80, where something else (probably a default apache or nginx installation) is running.

You can start WBO on a custom port by setting the PORT environment variable

@rohitcoder Did this solve your issue ?

Hi @lovasoa ,

I was busy with something else. I'm checking it right now, and I'll let you know the status in comments :)

Hi @lovasoa ,

I am not getting any output its just keep loading http://X.X.X.X:9090/

this command i used

export PORT=9090
cd whitebophir
npm install
npm start

Response:

server started{"port":9090}

Any suggestions?

[lovasoa]

Is port 9090 accessible from the outside on your server?

[lovasoa]

anyway, the issue doesn't seem to be related to wbo.

Hi @lovasoa ,

Problem solved! We can close this report. After setting PORT i configured my firewall to allow PORT 9090 and it fixed this issue.

Again many many thanks for this project. Keep rocking bro! :)
And be safe from Corona Virus :)

We can close this report now.

Thanks,
Rohit
