I'm having trouble with setting up ACORE API's and then having them work on a website.
Background:
Azerothcore running 3.3.5 on a debian standalone server, this has the Database, Core files and runs both the world and auth server basically a standard setup that is shown in the how-to wiki.
I also have a standalone web server, on the same subnet, but it's a separate server running linux and normal web server stuff, this has a wordpress installation with azerothcore plugin for user signup etc.
I'm trying to add the player map (https://github.com/azerothcore/playermap) and the ACORE-API set of functions (server status, arenastats, BG que and wow statistics) (https://github.com/azerothcore/acore-api)
Problem:
I understand the acore-api must be run in a container (docker or whatever) on the server, which I have done and it binds to port 3000, I can then go to the local ip:3000 and it brings up this error. (all db's etc are connecting and soap is working)
error 404 when navigating to IP:3000
I do get a few errors when running NPM install seen here: I'm not sure if they would be causing any issues or not.
screenshot of NPM errors on install
But further that, when I put say 'serverstatus' on the webserver (separate server) and configure the config.ts file I can't seem to get anything to display.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but is the same scenario for all of the different functions for the acore-api
How are these meant to be installed and function? I feel I'm missing a vital step.
Likewise, with PLAYERMAP I have edited the comm_conf.php and set the realmd_id, but when loading the page, I do get the map, but the uptime is missing and no players are shown?
Could someone assist if possible?
Seems like an issue with NodeJS version. Update your NodeJS to latest LTS version 16.13.0 (https://nodejs.org)
Phusion Passenger has a great ecosystem for running webapps behind a webserver. I have experience with it from Ruby and Node.js apps. Now I rewrote a webservice to use Go, and it's time to deploy it. It seems natural to put Passenger+Nginx in front of the go webserver (using net/http). Searching around it seems that nobody has tried this, or asked about this anywhere...
I can't seem to find a configuration option to attach a custom binary, instead of passenger_ruby/passenger_node etc.
Can (should?) I use Phusion Passenger to run my binary created using go build?
No, you can't. Passenger doesn't actually use HTTP internally; it uses a custom protocol (like FastCGI or SCGI but incompatible with both) to communicate with your app and requires its own code in the application for management and dispatching requests. They don't provide such support code for Go.
This is actually possible now, Passenger 6 has added generic language support. You can find the tutorial here: https://www.phusionpassenger.com/docs/advanced_guides/gls/go.html
Basically:
Compile your Go program and put the binary somewhere convenient. The application needs to accept configuration to choose what port to run on.
passenger start --app-start-command 'env PORT=$PORT ./main' assuming main is your program name.
Passenger will try to tell the application what port to start on so that it can have port 80/443.
How to install phantomjs in Meteor js?
I want to use in conjunction with Iago Spiderable.
o/s: Windows 7 64bit
Just make sure you add the directory where Phantom is installed to PATH
From the Meteor documentation:
When a spider requests an HTML snapshot of a page the Meteor server runs the client half of the application inside phantomjs, a headless browser, and returns the full HTML generated by the client code.
...
If you deploy your application with meteor bundle, you must install phantomjs (http://phantomjs.org) somewhere in your $PATH. If you use meteor deploy this is already taken care of.
[1]http://docs.meteor.com/#spiderable
I would like to let you know that there is package available for meteor
https://atmosphere.meteor.com/package/phantomjs
not sure if that is compatible with windows.
Does anyone know a good method to debug server side code?
I tried enable Node.js debug then use node-inspector but it does not show any of my code.
I end up using console.log but this is very inefficient.
Update: I found the following procedure works on my Linux machine:
When you run Meteor, it will spawn two processes
process1: /usr/lib/meteor/bin/node /usr/lib/meteor/app/meteor/meteor.js
process2: /usr/lib/meteor/bin/node /home/paul/codes/bbtest_code/bbtest02/.meteor/local/build/main.js --keepalive
You need to send kill -s USR1 on process2
Run node-inspector and you can see your server code
On my first try, I modify the last line on meteor startup script in /usr/lib/meteor/bin/meteor to
exec "$DEV_BUNDLE/bin/node" $NODE_DEBUG "$METEOR" "$#"
and run NODE_DEBUG=--debug meteor on command prompt. This only put --debug flag on process1 so I only see meteor files on node-inspector and could not find my code.
Can someone check this on Windows and Mac machine?
In Meteor 0.5.4 this has become a lot easier:
First run the following commands from the terminal:
npm install -g node-inspector
node-inspector &
export NODE_OPTIONS='--debug-brk'
meteor
And then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser to view the node-inspector console.
Update
Since Meteor 1.0 you can just type
meteor debug
which is essentially a shortcut for the above commands, and then launch node inspector in your browser as mentioned.
Update
In Meteor 1.0.2 a console or shell has been added. It may come in handy to output variables and run commands on the server:
meteor shell
Meteor apps are Node.js apps. When running a Meteor app with the meteor [run] command, you can configure the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable to start node in debug mode.
Examples of NODE_OPTIONS environment variable values:
--debug
--debug=47977 - specify a port
--debug-brk - break on the first statement
--debug-brk=5858 - specify a port and break on the first statement
If you export NODE_OPTIONS=--debug, all meteor command run from the same shell will inherit the environment variable. Alternatively, you can enable debugging just for one run, with NODE_OPTIONS="--debug=47977" meteor.
To debug, run node-inspector in a different shell, then go to http://localhost:8080/debug?port=<the port you specified in NODE_OPTIONS>, regardless of what node-inspector tells you to run.
To start node.js in debug mode, I did it this way:
open /usr/lib/meteor/app/meteor/run.js
before
nodeOptions.push(path.join(options.bundlePath, 'main.js'));
add
nodeOptions.push('--debug');
Here are additional practical steps for your to attach debugger eclipse:
use '--debug-brk' instead of '--debug' here, because it's easier for me to attach node.js using eclipse as debugger.
add 'debugger;' in the code where you want to debug.(I prefer this way personally)
run meteor in console
attach to node.js in eclipse(V8 tools, attach to localhost:5858)
run, wait for debugger to be hit
when you start meteor in your meteor app folder, you'll see that "debugger listening on port 5858" in console.
On Meteor 1.0.3.1 (update to Sergey.Simonchik answer)
Start your server with meteor run --debug-port=<port-number>
Point browser to http://localhost:6222/debug?port=<port-number>
Where <port-number> is a port you specify.
In your code add a debugger; where you want to set your break point.
Depending on where debugger; is invoked, it will either break on your client or server browser window with inspector opened.
I like to set breakpoints via a GUI. This way I don't have to remember to remove any debugging code from my app.
This is how I managed to do it server side for my local meteor app:
meteor debug
start your app this way.
Open Chrome to the address it gives you. You MAY need to install https://github.com/node-inspector/node-inspector (it might come bundled with Meteor now? not sure)
You'll see some weird internal meteor code (not the app code you wrote). Press play to run the code. This code simply starts up your server to listen for connections.
Only after you press play you'll see a new directory in your debugger folder structure called "app". In there are your meteor project files. Set a breakpoint in there one the line you want.
Open the local address of your app. This will run your server side code and you you should be able to hit your breakpoint!
Note: you have to reopen the inspector and go through this process again each time your app restarts!
As of Meteor 1.0.2 probably the best way for server-side debugging is directly via the new built-in shell: with running server run meteor shell. More info here: https://www.meteor.com/blog/2014/12/19/meteor-102-meteor-shell
I am not sure why it was not working for you.
I am able to use it by following steps on console (Mac).
$ ps
$ kill -s USR1 *meteor_node_process_id*
$ node-inspector &
Above steps are mentioned on https://github.com/dannycoates/node-inspector. It is for attaching node-inspector to running node process.
I wrote a small meteor package called meteor-inspector which simplifies the use of node-inspector to debug meteor apps. It internally manages the lifecycle of node-inspector and hence, the user does not need to restart the debugger manually after some files have changed.
For more details and concrete usage instructions take a look at https://github.com/broth-eu/meteor-inspector.
for meteor 1.3.5.2, run
meteor debug --debug-port 5858+n
n is a non-zero number, this will cause node-inspector use 8080+n as web port.
WebStorm, the powerful IDE free for open source developers, makes it much easier to debug server-side.
I've tested it on Windows, and the configuration was painless - see my answer.
A inspector that solve my issues is meteor server console. Here is the process I followed to install it:
In your project folder, add the smart package server-eval:
mrt add server-eval
For Meteor 1.0:
meteor add gandev:server-eval
Restart meteor.
Download crx Chrome extension file from here.
Open extensions page in Chrome and drag crx file to extensions page.
Restart Chrome.
Check the web inspector out to eval server side code:
In comparison with node-inspector, I have a clearer output.
If you prefer to use nodeJS' official debugger you can call NODE_OPTIONS='--debug' meteor and then (on a different shell) node debug localhost:5858.
I'm setting up a WordPress blog on Heroku. When I run foreman start to run the site locally, I get an error about a missing Procfile. I've written Procfiles for Python web apps, but I'm on unfamiliar ground with PHP. What should go in a Procfile for a WordPress app? Thanks much.
Assuming you are using the default PHP buildpack, the default Procfile would look like this:
web: sh boot.sh
You can figure this out from any buildpack by looking at the default_process_types entry (if defined) in bin/release.
I should note that this assumes that bin/compile has been executed (just like the buildpack would do when pushing to Heroku) prior to running the Procfile. The PHP buildpack is a bit of a special case because boot.sh gets generated in bin/compile, so you need to make sure you actually have a boot.sh on your local machine too that launches Apache and PHP.
