Node.js App Running on Port 3000

Lonivxy

Hello,

I'm trying to run a Node.js application (a Discord bot with an Express web API) on my serv00 account, and I'm encountering issues accessing its web endpoint via HTTPS.

My Setup:

Application: Discord bot with an Express server.

Node.js app is listening on port: 3000 (as configured in my bot's .env file and index.js).

Bot Status: My bot logs show that the Express API server is successfully running and listening on http://localhost:3000/widget (verified via pm2 logs).

✅ Widget API server running at http://localhost:3000/widget
✅ Logged in as LovxyBot#8067

Domain I'm using: weiget.ericperry.serv00.net

Front-end page trying to access the API: https://lonivxy.github.io/VIOLET-NEW.html (this page is hosted on GitHub Pages, thus accessed via HTTPS).

The Problem:
When my VIOLET-NEW.html page attempts to fetch data from https://weiget.ericperry.serv00.net:3000/widget, I receive the following errors in the browser console:

Mixed Content Error (Initially):
Mixed Content: The page at 'https://lonivxy.github.io/VIOLET-NEW.html' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'http://weiget.ericperry.serv00.net:3000/widget'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
(I resolved this by changing the URL in HTML to https://.)

Current Error (ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED / Failed to fetch):
After changing to https://, I now get:
GET https://weiget.ericperry.serv00.net:3000/widget net::ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED
Failed to fetch bot data: TypeError: Failed to fetch

If I try accessing https://weiget.ericperry.serv00.net/widget (without the :3000 port) directly in the browser, I get a 404 Not Found error.

My Understanding & Request for Help:
It seems that serv00's web server (likely an Nginx/Apache reverse proxy) is not correctly forwarding HTTPS traffic from the standard port 443 on weiget.ericperry.serv00.net to my Node.js application running on internal port 3000.

Could you please assist me with the correct configuration steps for:

Enabling HTTPS for my Node.js application on weiget.ericperry.serv00.net.

Setting up the reverse proxy / port forwarding so that requests to https://weiget.ericperry.serv00.net/widget are properly routed to my Node.js app's endpoint at localhost:3000/widget internally?

Thank you for your help!

Lonivxy Reserve your port first: https://docs.serv00.com/Port_reservation/
Then set up your application to use that port and run it.
For Node.js applications it is the best to use our Passenger server instead.

admin Hello serv00 Support,

I am having persistent issues getting my Node.js application to start and run correctly under Phusion Passenger on my account. My Discord bot, which includes an Express web API, is currently offline because Passenger is not launching it.

My Username: ericperry
Affected Domain: weiget.ericperry.serv00.net (configured as Node.js type website)

Problem Description:
When I try to access the web API endpoint at https://weiget.ericperry.serv00.net/widget, I consistently receive a 404 Not Found error.
Crucially, my application's error log file (/usr/home/ericperry/domains/weiget.ericperry.serv00.net/logs/error.log) remains completely empty after multiple devil www restart commands. This indicates that Passenger is not even attempting to start the application, or is failing at an extremely early, silent stage, thus generating no logs. My Discord bot is also currently offline because of this.

Steps I have already taken and confirmed:

Application Files: All Node.js application files (app.js, node_modules/, package.json, .env, db.sqlite) are correctly located in the designated directory: /usr/home/ericperry/domains/weiget.ericperry.serv00.net/public_nodejs/.

Entry Point: index.js was renamed to app.js (ls -l app.js confirms existence and correct permissions).

Module Type: I have converted app.js to CommonJS format (using require() instead of import) and removed the "type": "module" field from package.json.

Static Files: Confirmed that there is no public subdirectory within /usr/home/ericperry/domains/weiget.ericperry.serv00.net/public_nodejs/ to avoid static file conflicts.

Permissions: All relevant directories (public_nodejs/ and logs/) and files (app.js) have correct permissions (e.g., 755 for directories, 644 for app.js).

Environment Variables: My ~/.bash_profile file has been created and contains all necessary export variables (DISCORD_TOKEN, GUILD_ID, AMAP_KEY, AQICN_TOKEN, etc.) for the bot to run. I've run source ~/.bash_profile.

Restart Attempts: I have repeatedly used devil www restart weiget.ericperry.serv00.net to restart the application.

PM2 Interference: Confirmed that there are no lingering pm2 processes (e.g., pm2 list shows an empty list).

Code Functionality: The bot's code itself works correctly when launched manually (e.g., via npm start in an SSH session, as observed before migrating to Passenger).

Request for Assistance:
Given that the error.log remains empty, it strongly suggests that Phusion Passenger is failing to initialize or execute my Node.js application at a fundamental level that I cannot diagnose from my user account.

Could you please investigate the Passenger configuration for weiget.ericperry.serv00.net and determine why it is not starting my Node.js application? I need assistance in ensuring that HTTP/HTTPS requests to dynamic routes like /widget are correctly handled by my running Node.js application.

Thank you for your time and help.

Lonivxy error.log shows only the output of stdout and stderr of the application. Your app replies 404, so it's running - check the log and code of the app to find out the reason for 404.
