Previously I have had success implementing PM2, but not currently.
My node app does run just fine if I start it manually, but nothing I do gets it to run via PM2, even though PM2 appears to be starting it up. Here's what I mean:
If I run pm2 start server/index.js, the response in the terminal reads:
$ pm2 start server/index.js
[PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=c:\pm2_system\.pm2
[PM2] PM2 Successfully daemonized
[PM2] Starting D:\Program Files\nodeApps\service-management-api\server\index.js in fork_mode (1 instance)
[PM2] Done.*
Then the terminal prints out a table with App info. It doesn't look pretty pasted here so I'll list it out:
App Name: index
id: 0
version: 1.0.0
mode: fork
pid: 8984
status: online
restart: 0
update 0s
cpu: 0%
mem: 26.0 MB
user: ME
watching: disabled
It appears that the node process should be running. But if I immediately enter pm2 list it shows no processes running. If I enter pm2 stop index, it says:
$ pm2 stop index
[PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=c:\pm2_system\.pm2
[PM2] PM2 Successfully daemonized
[PM2][ERROR] Process index not found
Alternatively, if I try using ecosystem.config.js in the commands, I get similar results. Here are the commands tried:
pm2 reload ecosystem.config.js
pm2 start ecosystem.config.js
Example result of running those commmands:
$ pm2 start ecosystem.config.js
[PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=c:\pm2_system\.pm2
[PM2] PM2 Successfully daemonized
[PM2][WARN] Applications sm_api not running, starting...
[PM2] App [sm_api] launched (2 instances)
And CLI prints table showing two instances with status "online" and watching "enabled". And yet, app isn't running (when tested from browser) and "pm2 show " returns:
[PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=c:\pm2_system\.pm2
[PM2] PM2 Successfully daemonized
[PM2][WARN] <app name> doesn't exist
Any clues what's gone awry with my pm2?
Heres my ecosystem.config.js file:
module.exports = {
apps : [{
name: 'sm_api',
script: 'server/index.js',
"log_date_format" : "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm Z",
// Options reference: https://pm2.io/doc/en/runtime/reference/ecosystem-file/
args: 'one two',
instances: 'max',
error_file : "C:\\pm2_system\\.pm2\\logs\\sm-api-error",
out_file: "C:\\pm2_system\\.pm2\\logs\\sm-api-out",
autorestart: true,
watch: "../",
max_restarts: 10,
max_memory_restart: '1G',
env: {
NODE_ENV: 'development'
},
env_production: {
NODE_ENV: 'production'
},
exec_mode: 'cluster'
}],
};
Running in Windows Server 2012 environment. Note that I intend to add pm2-windows-service package after I get pm2 working.
c:\pm2_system\.pm2folder, right? Since the folder is on the C:\ root I think you run into a lot of security issues so make sure it's full access for everyone on it maybe? – Territorialism
