Refstack UI configuration

Hi, Thanks for reporting the bug ... To fix this, please run the "npm start" command in the refstack directory (not in refstack-ui) . I pushed a patch to fix the README (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/205932/). Please let me know if this works for you.

Hi Catherine,

Thanks for your update.. Please find the below output when I ran npm start from refstack directory. Please look at these lines

This looks like something is already using the port (8080) refstack-ui is trying to use. Wondering if changing the port in package.json to something like 8081 would work.

Hi paul,

Thanks for your suggestion.

But I am unable to find package.json file in refstack or refstack-ui directory.

Why it's pointing to " refstack failed in the system , check with author" and pointing to linux kernel version as well.

Do I need to change port in refstack api server config file ?

Thanks,
Malleshi CN

Odd that you are having trouble finding the package.json. Should be in the root project directory, and the line where you change the port is as follows:
https://github.com/stackforge/refstack/blob/master/package.json#L25

The way the documentation instructs now, refstack-api and refstack-ui are hosted on two separate ports (8000 for api and 8080 for ui).

I'll look into improving documentation and adding alternate ways of hosting the refstack site (like using apache for example which http://refstack.net uses).

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your solution.. as per your update I chnaged the port and ran npm start.. "npm start" command is working..

as per the document I xecuted #npm test .

malli@localhost:~/refstack$ npm test

I installed firefox using 'apt-get'. but still ended with above message

Hello Malleshi,

With successful execution of the "npm start" command, are you able to access your local Refstack site ? Please confirm!

Hi catherine,
After executing npm start,

I am getting message server started http:// localhost:9876.

But when I try with above url in browser I am getting connection failed . I tried to use curl I can see some logs, but not getting dashboard. Unable to access dashboard

If I try npm test , getting messges mentioned in my previous comment.

Wouldn't worry too much about the output of npm test unless you are developing.

How is the refstack ui hosted? On an Ubuntu VM? I'm thinking maybe you are using a web browser outside of the VM if that is the case since it seems that curling the address on the server yields you the raw html page. So instead of localhost, you'd have to use the actual IP of the server. Try navigating to to http://<your ip>:9876 and see if something comes up.

Hi Catherine and Paul.

I am successfully able to get the Refstack dasgboard. it looks simillar to http://refstack.net.

Instaead of http://<your ip>:9876 I checked with Ip from which I started my server ( npm start) .

http://<your ip>:8089.

Need to work on pulling the testcase results from the Refstack dashboard..

Thanks for your continuous support and assistance.

Thanks again!!
