Hi @psegovias,

From what I remember, the I've made the bootstrap.sh scripts to easily install all requirements on a dedicated server, and this is what I did on mine (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), but it's been a looong time already, and I won't be surprise that it doesn't work anymore today... Can you give me more information about the OS you use on your dedicated server and what were the errors?

However, as you mentioned, this project has a lack of documentation, and because some people seem to use it, I've decided to write some pages in the project's wiki.

I will notice you here when the page you are seeking is ready ;)

[Noxalus]

Ok, I've worked a little on this project, and my recent changes should make the installation of it on a dedicated server easier.

As promised, I wrote a small wiki page to explain how it works: here.

Please let me know if it works properly on your side too ;)

Hi, thanks so much for your reply.

I found this on ubuntu 16.04 fresh install after clone repo and sh bootstrap.sh

./bootstrap.sh: line 93: npm: order not found
insserv: warning: script 'K01nginx' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'nginx-conf-watcher' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'nginx' missing LSB tags and overrides
Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Job for nginx-conf-watcher.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nginx-conf-watcher.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Any idea?

Thank you for the info, I've only tested it on a Ubuntu 14.04 for now, and I know that there are some differencies with upstart scripts for Ubuntu 16.04, I will try to solve that soon.

[Noxalus]

Ok, I've made some searches, and it appears that init.d scripts need specifc headers on Ubuntu 16.04.

I've just updated the code + fix some issues and I can run this project on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 now. Let me know if it's OK for you too ;)

Installation works great! i got the "Nginx is ready to use." but:

http://MY-DEDI-IP:8080/stat >> its a blank page in access.log from nginx show my visit.

ERROR.LOG

2018/03/11 22:37:30 [error] 1413#0: *1 open() "/usr/local/nginx/html/stat.xsl" failed (13: Permission denied), client: MY-PC-IP, server: localhost, request: "GET /stat.xsl HTTP/1.1", host: "MY-DEDI-IP:8080", referrer: "http://MY-DEDI-IP:8080/stat"

This error happens when the user that started the Nginx server doesn't have the proper permission on the files into $PROJECT_PATH/nginx/html/ folder.

I already set the good permission in the bootstrap.sh file (here), and if you clone the repository with the same user that launched the bootstrap.sh script + started the Ngxin server, it should be fine. Can you confirm it's the case?

If not, you can try to perform a chown command on all $PROJECT_PATH/nginx/html folder files:

chown -R myuser:myuser $PROJECT_PATH/nginx/html

As mentionned here.

[psegovias]

I try:

chown root.root Multi-Streaming-Server/nginx/html/* -R
chown nobody.nobody Multi-Streaming-Server/nginx/html/* -R
chown randomuser.randomuser Multi-Streaming-Server/nginx/html/* -R

None of that work, i will try with a fresh install, btw can i use bootstrap.sh with root user?

UPDATE:

fresh install same error, maybe cuz im installing with root user?

[Noxalus]

I did my tests with root user too, and it works for me.

Can you give me the result of these commands?

ls -la Multi-Streaming-Server/nginx
ls -la Multi-Streaming-Server/nginx/html
ls -la /usr/local/nginx

Why nobody user owns some Nginx files? Are you sure you've installed this project with the root user?

Another thing you can try is to install the project in your home directory (/home or ~), the root folder has more restricted rights, even if it shouldn't be a problem here...

[Noxalus]

I've tested to launch the bootstrap.sh script in the root folder, and indeed, I have the exact same permission error. So if you install it somewhere else, it should be fine. Let me know when it's good for you ;)
