localhost:9900 unreliable
Opened this issue · 4 comments
Ripple sometimes doesn't like loading from localhost:9900. Sometimes it works sometimes it fails. I cannot figure out how to reliably load my app. Sometimes I just get a white screen when I use localhost:9900. If I use http://blackberry.github.com/WebWorks-Samples/kitchenSink it works 100% of the time. If I try http://localhost:9900/HelloWorld/index.html it works sometimes. If I type the url and then restart Ripple sometimes it works. Once 9900 URLs are working they keep working for the current session, but it seems like you can easily get into a state where nothing happens. Yet real URLs work 100% of the time. Firewalls are off etc...
I am having exactly the same issue
Could be an issue with node.js not being able to grab port 9900?

@npross @areel Thanks for reporting! What operating system are you using? You indicated that firewall protection is off, so then I presume that you did not receive any pop-ups asking whether to unblock or continue blocking...
Ripple installs and uses node.js to help implement this feature. If possible, try to check for the node.js process running on your system. For example, check if node is running. Also check whether more than one node process is running. This should help diagnose the cause of the issue.
Never noticed the respond until tonight, I will do as you asked and let you know
