Diagnosing the API Issue<\/h3>\n<p>The first task was to determine why the API wasn\u2019t responding despite the logs indicating it was running.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">Port Conflict Identification<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Initial Diagnosis:<\/strong>\u00a0A conflict or another process might be using port 3002, preventing the API from functioning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Command Used:<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\nsudo lsof -i :3002<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<p>This command confirmed that another[previously running] Node.js instance was running on port 3002.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">Fixing the Conflict<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong> Terminate the conflicting process using the command:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\nkill -9 &lt;PID&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<p>This freed the port, allowing the application to bind successfully to port 3002.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ack-h3\">2. Updating the API to Listen on Port 3003<\/h3>\n<p>Since the client intended to use port 3003, we verified the server configuration to ensure it was set correctly.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">Server.js Configuration<\/h4>\n<p>The server.js file was updated to listen on port 3003:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\nconst port = process.env.PORT || 3003;<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">Restarting the Application<\/h4>\n<p>To apply the changes, the application was restarted using PM2:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\npm2 restart nodejs-app-dev --update-env<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Updating-the-API-to-Listen-on-Port-3003.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ack-article-image aligncenter wp-image-49221 size-full\" title=\"Updating the API to Listen on Port 3003\" src=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Updating-the-API-to-Listen-on-Port-3003.png\" alt=\"Updating the API to Listen on Port 3003\" width=\"1383\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Updating-the-API-to-Listen-on-Port-3003.png 1383w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Updating-the-API-to-Listen-on-Port-3003-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Updating-the-API-to-Listen-on-Port-3003-1024x444.png 1024w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Updating-the-API-to-Listen-on-Port-3003-768x333.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1383px) 100vw, 1383px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ack-h3\">3. Checking Node.js Application Logs<\/h3>\n<p>When troubleshooting a Node.js application, reviewing the application logs is crucial. Logs provide detailed information on errors, warnings, or any unusual behavior that could point to underlying issues. Whether you&#8217;re managing your Node.js processes with a tool like <strong>PM2<\/strong> or running the application directly, knowing how to access and interpret these logs is key to efficient debugging.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">Checking Logs with PM2<\/h4>\n<p>If you are using <strong>PM2<\/strong> to manage your Node.js processes, checking the logs is straightforward. <strong>PM2 not only simplifies process management but also consolidates logging, making it easy to review real-time activity or narrow down specific issues.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>To view real-time logs<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\npm2 logs &lt;app-name&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<p>This command will stream the logs for the specified application, showing real-time activity, including status updates and error messages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To view a specific number of log lines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want to check recent logs without streaming, you can limit the output by specifying the number of lines:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\npm2 logs --lines 100 &lt;app-name&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<p>This command displays the last 100 lines of logs for your application, allowing you to focus on recent events.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">Checking Logs Without PM2<\/h4>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not using PM2 and are running your Node.js application manually, you can still capture and review logs efficiently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redirect output to a log file<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When running a Node.js application directly, you can capture both standard output (stdout) and error output (stderr) in a log file:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\nnode &lt;app-name&gt;.js &gt; app.log 2&gt;&amp;1<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<p>This command directs all logs and errors to <code class=\"language-javascript\">app.log<\/code>, which you can review later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monitor logs in real-time with Tail<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want to monitor your logs as they are generated, you can use the tail command:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\ntail -f app.log<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<p>This will show new log entries as they are written, which is useful for real-time troubleshooting during application execution.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-btn-top-space ack-extra-image-space\">\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"38668\" class=\"elementor elementor-38668\" data-elementor-settings=\"{&quot;ha_cmc_init_switcher&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t        <section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-882321f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ct-header-fixed-none ct-row-max-none\" data-id=\"882321f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n            \n                        <div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default \">\n                    <div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7cc79cc\" data-id=\"7cc79cc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n        <div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n                    \n        \t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e31b40f elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"e31b40f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n        \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta-btn-mob-space\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"ack-h3\">4. Configuring Firewall Settings<\/h3>\n<p>The client faced difficulties opening port 3003 due to issues with the SSH command. To resolve this, we added the port to the client&#8217;s application instance firewall. Additionally, we provided the client with a detailed article for reference, enabling them to independently open the port via the AWC Dashboard if needed in the future: <a class=\"ack-link-color\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/articles\/how-to-open-a-new-port-in-firewall-using-awc-dashboard\">How to Open a New Port in Firewall Using AWC Dashboard?<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ack-h3\">5. Resolving MySQL Connectivity Issues<\/h3>\n<p>Despite MySQL being accessible via phpMyAdmin, the Node.js application could not establish a connection.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">Step 1: Verifying MySQL Status<\/h4>\n<p>We confirmed that MySQL was running by executing:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\nsudo systemctl status mysqld<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">Step 2: Testing MySQL Connection<\/h4>\n<p>We used the credentials from the <code class=\"language-javascript\">.env<\/code> file to test MySQL access from the command line<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\nmysql -h &lt;mysql-server-ip&gt; -u root -p<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<p>The test confirmed that the credentials were correct and that MySQL was accessible.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">Step 3: Updating Environment Variables<\/h4>\n<p>It was discovered that the Node.js application had incorrect credentials in the .env file. We updated the DB_HOST to reflect the correct MySQL server IP<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\nDB_HOST=&lt;your-mysql-server-private-ip&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ack-formula\">\nNote:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ack-ul\">\n<li>If the database instance is on the same application server, use localhost.<\/li>\n<li>If it resides on a different server, enter that server&#8217;s public IP.<\/li>\n<li>If both instances are within the same network, you can specify the private IP of the database instance, which is more secure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Resolving-MySQL-Connectivity-Issues.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ack-article-image aligncenter wp-image-49222 size-full\" title=\"Resolving MySQL Connectivity Issues\" src=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Resolving-MySQL-Connectivity-Issues.png\" alt=\"Resolving MySQL Connectivity Issues\" width=\"1269\" height=\"752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Resolving-MySQL-Connectivity-Issues.png 1269w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Resolving-MySQL-Connectivity-Issues-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Resolving-MySQL-Connectivity-Issues-1024x607.png 1024w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Resolving-MySQL-Connectivity-Issues-768x455.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1269px) 100vw, 1269px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">Step 4: Restarting the Application<\/h4>\n<p>The Node.js application was restarted to apply the updated credentials:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\npm2 restart &lt;app-name&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"ack-h3\">6. Adding a Route Handler for the Root URL<\/h3>\n<p>During testing, the API returned a &#8220;<strong>Cannot GET \/<\/strong>&#8221; error at the root URL, indicating no route handler was defined for GET requests to the root.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">Solution: Adding a Root Route<\/h4>\n<p>We implemented a simple route handler in <code class=\"language-javascript\">server.js<\/code>:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-javascript\">\r\napp.get('\/', (req, res) =&gt; { res.send('Welcome to the API!'); });<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"article-space\"><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">Restarting and Verifying the Change<\/h4>\n<p>The application was restarted, and upon accessing the root URL, the message &#8220;<strong>Welcome to the API!<\/strong>&#8221; was returned, confirming the fix.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ack-h3\">7. Verifying the Fixes<\/h3>\n<p>Once the changes were implemented, we conducted several tests to confirm the system was functioning properly:<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">API Testing<\/h4>\n<p>We accessed the API via <code class=\"language-javascript\">http:\/\/localhost:3003<\/code> and verified that it was responding correctly.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"ack-h4\">Database Connection Testing<\/h4>\n<p>API endpoints requiring MySQL access were tested, and data was returned as expected, confirming that the connection issues were resolved.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ack-h3\">Summary of Actions Taken<\/h3>\n<ol class=\"ack-ol\">\n<li><strong>Port Conflict Resolution:<\/strong> Identified and terminated the conflicting Node.js process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Port Update:<\/strong> Configured the application to listen on port 3003.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Firewall Configuration:<\/strong> Enabled traffic on port 3003 via the AWC Dashboard.<\/li>\n<li><strong>MySQL Connection Fix:<\/strong> Updated the <code class=\"language-javascript\">.env<\/code> file with correct MySQL credentials and restarted the application.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Route Handler Addition:<\/strong> Added a root route handler to return a welcome message.<\/li>\n<li><strong>API Verification:<\/strong> Tested the API to confirm full functionality.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"ack-h3\">Final Outcome<\/h3>\n<p>The API and MySQL connection issues were successfully resolved.
