WebSocket connection failed

[sekao 0]

I started MightyEditor on my own server and all I can see right now is the "System is being maintained" message. The JS console shows that it can't make a WebSocket connection. The server logs are saying that the "client/ws" folder isn't found. Should I make this myself, and what should go in it?

Hi sekao,

 

do you use proxy? We have noticed that proxies often cause Websocket failure. Also which browser do you use? Currently Chrome is most tested from all.

* install nodejs

* restart PC (sometimes windows installation don't update PATH)

* open bash - for windows you can use git bash: http://git-scm.com/downloads 

cd path/to/menpm install

edit server/config.json and server/config-dev.json - to fit your system config

./startdev

last time I checked (approx month ago) these steps worked on windows

Yes, I'm proxying 8080 to 80. I have to do this because my shared host doesn't allow me to run as root. I suppose I can't use this host.

* you can check if it works on 8080 port http://server_ip:8080

* you can hack js/MT/Socket.js 

// line 9this.url = "ws://"+window.location.host+"/ws/";// change tothis.url = "ws://"+window.location.host+":8080";

I managed to get it working on a different host. I can't seem to register an account, however, because it says "Sign in failed!" in the interface. I don't see anything logged. I added a gmail address and password to config.js for it to use. Is there any additional step to getting gmail to work?

It looks like a network request isn't even being sent by the register button for some reason. I'm hoping to get this working for a group of homeschool kids I am volunteering to teach this week, so any help would be really appreciated.

Hi,

 

auth is not included in the opensource version,

Github version contains dummy Auth plugin - where is only one local user.
