anonymous user not found after a fresh install from source

[elishowk]

Hi everybody, bonjour tout le monde.

After I followed all instructions to install ucengine from source, I get stuck with an empty page (":5280/demo/#/") and realised there is a XHR POST to ":5280/api/0.5/presence" returning 404.

Then I tried to create this anonymous user with an empty password (seen the auto login in app.js line 55), given him the 'default' role, but nothing changed.

What do I have wrong ? Is there any other manuel setting to bootstrap ucengine that I may have missed ?

Thanks !

Hi,

On the install page, there is a section which describes how to inject
some data [1].
You simply have to run the following command:

PATH=$PATH:./rel/ucengine/bin ./contrib/demo.sh localhost

This script should create the necessary users and roles and therefore
fix your problem.

I hope this will help you.

Depends on which branch you used. If you are using master:
http://docs.ucengine.org/install.html#inject-some-data

if you are using develop branch:
http://docs.ucengine.org/dev/install.html#inject-some-data

Hi,

Thanks for the quick answer. I wasn't aware of http://docs.ucengine.org/dev/

Anyway, I created all the demo data (updating user anonymous like done in the script), and the result is the same when I contact the server from the outside :

- when I POST "http://myserver.fr:5280/api/0.5/presence" name=anonymous, it still returns 404, with the following JSON body {"error":"not_found"}.

- when I POST the same from locahost, I get something good {"result":{"uid":"597...580","sid":"82..88"}}

 

There is no firewall restrictions on my test server. Is there any network configuration for the web server to listen to the outside world ?

Cheers.

Hi

U.C.Engine can handle multiple hosts and when you feed the server with
the demo data, this is localhost which is impacted.
Therefore, myserver.fr still doesn't know about users created on localhost.

To solve the problem, you can use a reverse proxy or try to feed the
myserver.fr host.

OK, now I understand the concepts better, and I'm tuned on the right documentation (/dev).

I set up a reverse proxy to resolve the issue. A simple proxy_pass http://localhost:5280 within a server conf of nginx is right.

Thanks again.

Looking forward to collaborate :-)

Cheers.
