Answer 3 · 2015-09-20T05:22:14.000Z

BTW I use bluehost

Answer 4 · 2015-09-23T01:03:23.000Z

If you are using the version from the website, it is not as up to date as the one from this repo. cgiNodeInfo() works on the repo version, where as CgiNodeInfo() works on the version on the website. I suggest cloning this repo instead.

Answer 5 · 2015-09-23T01:22:00.000Z

Thanks but can you help me a little more? I've found cgiNodeInfo() in this repo but all it says is
1 lines (1 sloc) 20 Bytes

What do I do with that? It's from oct 15 2014

Answer 6 · 2015-09-23T01:40:02.000Z

It looks like node is not being executed and your files are being loaded as plain text. I took another look at the screenshots you posted. You need to point your cgi-node.js file directly to node. So it should look like:

#!/home/wmoralespr/bin/node

I'm assuming all of the libs node needs is in wmoralespr. Make sure your files are chmod 755. If you use the version from this repo in cgi-bin/, rename your extension JSS on files and in .htaccess, or change JSS to jscript in cgi-node.js.

Answer 7 · 2015-09-23T01:51:16.000Z

I changed the cgi-node.js to point to node. It still just showed as before
I'm not sure how to change it stop loading from plain text? I've not changed to your repo yet.

Attached is what libs I have.

Answer 8 · 2015-09-23T01:52:34.000Z

This is not my repo. :) I would be pointing your browser to the public address of the jscript file on port 80. It likely will not do anything from cpanel.

Answer 9 · 2015-09-23T01:53:55.000Z

Could I give you remote access?

Answer 10 · 2015-09-23T02:01:40.000Z

SessionPath needs its own directory, create a dir like /home/wmoralespr/sessions, then point SessionPath to that. I am just helping because I like this project, and don't like seeing people get stuck, but I can't play a tech support role.

Answer 11 · 2015-09-23T02:10:37.000Z

Paste your cgi-node.js file here: http://0bin.net/ and give me the long URL in the address bar. Did you try going to your site's public address? .htaccess only works there.

Answer 12 · 2015-09-23T02:23:27.000Z

You gave me the link to your godaddy account. Paste/upload your cgi-node.js file to 0bin?

What are you trying to use cgi-node for? I wouldn't use cgi-node unless you absolutely have to. Its really just a jerry rigged version of node for CGI - not maintained, and probably not something to run in production if you're not familiar with linux.

Answer 13 · 2015-09-23T02:29:35.000Z

http://23.229.176.101/cgiNodeInfo.jscript gives a 404. You didn't give me a 0bin link, so I can't look at what you pasted or uploaded.

Answer 14 · 2015-09-23T02:30:44.000Z

Now paste the long link here it redirects to.

Answer 16 · 2015-09-23T02:34:17.000Z

I formatted it and changed line 8. It was using JSS. Not really your fault, the documentation is completely wrong.

Answer 17 · 2015-09-23T02:41:58.000Z

I would really suggest not using screenshots. You should try to use FTP or SSH. Nothing you view in cpanel will work with node - cgi-node only works on port 80, because that's what htaccess is configuring.

Answer 18 · 2015-09-23T02:43:46.000Z

I thought it would open up in a browser the contents of the server it's running on.

Answer 19 · 2015-09-23T02:45:42.000Z

https://p3plcpnl0462.prod.phx3.secureserver.net:2083/cpsess8901585666/frontend/gl_paper_lantern/filemanager/showfile.html?file=cgi-node.js&fileop=&dir=%2Fhome%2Fwmoralespr%2Fpublic_html%2Fcgi-bin&dirop=&charset=&file_charset=&baseurl=&basedir=

the :2083 at the end of the hostname (p3plcpnl0462.prod.phx3.secureserver.net) is the port. You gave me the server's IP, so anything in /home/wmoralespr should be available at http://23.229.176.101/ (port 80)

Answer 20 · 2015-09-23T02:48:24.000Z

correct. I thought going http://23.229.176.101/cgiNodeInfo.jscript would at least try to call up the script and make it run

Answer 21 · 2015-09-23T02:51:37.000Z

<? CgiNodeInfo() ?>

Answer 22 · 2015-09-23T02:53:56.000Z

yes i thought it would run that and then display the contents of the machine. I tried to even put the /public_html/cginodeinfo.jscript

Answer 23 · 2015-09-23T02:55:46.000Z

I'm sorry?

Answer 24 · 2015-09-23T02:57:02.000Z

lol Ya, I'm sorry to

o this thing doesn't work as it should. It's supposed to show

Answer 25 · 2015-09-23T02:59:04.000Z

That's on godaddy? That means its working.

Answer 26 · 2015-09-23T02:59:48.000Z

haha. not that's the tutorial on how to do this but it doesn't work. http://www.cgi-node.org/docs/cgi-node-on-godaddy-tutorial

Answer 27 · 2015-09-23T03:02:58.000Z

I think it was disingenuous for the author to suggest cgi-node should be installed by anyone -- and configured over web admin. Node is linux software, and you need a terminal for this stuff.

Answer 28 · 2015-09-23T03:04:44.000Z

Ya, it seems like i wasted a lot of time on it. They make it look so easy. I mean I am entering the correct navigation link right? http://23.229.176.101/cginodeinfo.jscript

Answer 29 · 2015-09-23T03:06:16.000Z

Yeah, except for the case sensitivity, cgiNodeInfo.jscript would make a difference in a nix environment.

Answer 30 · 2015-09-23T03:10:21.000Z

when I use the domainname/cgiNodeInfo.jscript
I get:
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@XXXXXX.com to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Answer 31 · 2015-09-23T03:17:21.000Z

Did you install node? This is probably your only option on godaddy - https://github.com/niutech/node.php if you don't want to use SSH.

Answer 32 · 2015-09-23T03:22:38.000Z

this never ends! When I try to install it I get:
Node.php

Node.js is not yet installed. Switch to Admin Mode and Install it.

Powered by node.php

Answer 33 · 2015-09-23T03:25:19.000Z

Edit node.php https://github.com/niutech/node.php/blob/master/node.php#L13 - change it to true, then back to false after you install node.

Answer 34 · 2015-09-23T03:29:20.000Z

Thanks. Got it installed but for line two: When succeeded, install your node.js app by uploading its folder or using npm: http://example.org/node.php?npm=install jt-js-sample

@webtech0101 I am not a great specialist but I want to give you a little help with your problem. It all looks like you should edit the cgi-node.js file to have the working server. Check path to sessions and replace it with yours. Look here it is short instructions to solve your problem. Sessions folder must be separated from other folders and needs to 755 permissions.
Have a nice day.
