Very good job thanks !!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Was very usefull for my work.I'm beginning with Linux admin and i have a problem after installation. If someone have a idea ?
The installation Complete good, i havn't set SSL configuration and skip the Git configuration. But after the 30seconds waiting at the end. I have a error page in my web browser..
Where can i find log about this error ?
Start in /var/log/nginx
-
@scottalanmiller Thanks for reply.
Given that i don't use SSL, i havn't install a web server such Apache or Nginx.
I use just Node.js.
The instalation step work fine (Mongodb connexion OK) It's after the 30seconds wait. after the auto-refresh i'v a error page :unamused_face:

Oh, that's going to be a lot more tricky.
In your wiki.js deployment directory, there should be a logs directory. Check wiki-error-0.log in there.
-
Yep i have nothing in the "wiki-error-0.log" the files is empty.
-
Hmm i have progress :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:
When i try a other port in the configuration (tcp/8080) i have a other result. But..
image url)The language is french :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:
I search next.
Thanks for help

That looks like it is running fine, but likely you are using an IP address and it was configured for a URL or vice versa. It's not picking up the images.
-
@scottalanmiller Yep, i have use now a dns for connect me.
When i let the port 80 in configuration i have the same issue.
When i use the port 8080 in configuration it's works ! But when i change a page, it's redirect at port 80.. And i need te insert manually the port 8080 in the url.
I suppose it's a problem with the redirect and or node.js (Version v6.12.3).
I will try to reinstall it

DNS redirects do not handle ports, that would cause the issue.

hmm okey !
Which version use you of node.js ?
I will try a new install
What are you doing trying to get things on weird ports?
The defualt port for Wiki.js is port 3000.
@scottalanmiller's instructions override that to port 4573 for whatever reason.
When you set this up, just keep thing default.
Also realize that if you are not putting a reverse proxy in front of this, that you need to configure the webstire URL in the web configuraiton step to use the port also.
-
At first i have try with de default port (tcp/3000) . And i have configured a website url with a functionnal dns in the configuration step.
It's just after that i try with different "weird ports" .
It's my first experience with node.js , i think i have missed something .
I will try your tutorial with Fedora27 and nvm. -

DNS can't point to ports. So either you use the standard port (80) and DNS can point to it, or you use a non-standard port (3000, 8080, 4567, etc.) and it can't. It's one or the other. Trying different ports that are not 80 will not help anything.

WTF? DNS points to an IP always. It has nothing to do with any port, 80 or otherwise.
You set up your DNS entry and unless you choose to use port 80 (http) or port 443 (https) you are required to use the port always.

That's what I just literally said "DNS can't point to ports." If you use the standard, DNS points to the service because of not needing to specify a port. If a port must be specific DNS can't point to the service.

Yes sorry i know with dns and port :upside-down_face: but it's because my bad English who create confusion. :pensive_face: i make a bad describe
-
It's okay. What error are you getting now.
-
Aha it's fine now :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:
I've make a new instalation FROM SCRATCH :upside-down_face: . I've take the last iso from centOS 7.3 minimal.
I have try a newer node.js version(v8.10.0)
For requirement :
Install git :
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" sudo yum install gettext-devel openssl-devel perl-CPAN perl-devel zlib-devel cd /opt/ wget https://github.com/git/git/archive/v2.16.2.tar.gz tar -zxf v2.16.2.tar.gz cd git-2.16.2/ make configure ./configure --prefix=/usr/local sudo make install git --versionInstall mongodb :
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-3.6.repo sudo yum install -y mongodb-org semanage port -a -t mongod_port_t -p tcp 27017 systemctl enable mongod systemctl start mongod mongod --versionInstall NodeJs :
curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash - yum install -y nodejs sudo yum install gcc-c++ make node --versionI have let the default port (80) and create
Now it's work fine !
I will try with a web server in frontal now (nginx)
Thanks for help and patience :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: -
@mikah67 Glad that it is working!
As a general rule, just do a yum -y update before starting an installation to make sure you are fully updated, regardless of which CentOS 7 version you started with.
