I believe version 5.82 bricked the whole server

[GRIFFCOMMca]

• Windows install with NODE as a complete installer
• Mine updates every night, since 0040, server not up, "c:\program files\open source\meshcentral\meshcentral-data\mesherror.txt" filling up over and over again (about every 5 seconds a new entry) with the below error:

-------- 7/10/2020, 2:00:24 AM ---- 0.5.82 --------

What version of NodeJS are you using?

[GRIFFCOMMca]

How do i check? AND how would i upgrade it (it was installed as part of the Windows installer MeshCentral did)

[Ylianst]

Never mind, I am getting the same problem the TLSOffload is enabled, working on a fix now!! Should take a few minutes to figure out and test.

[GRIFFCOMMca]

version 11.10.1 (run the command "node -v" in the CMD in windows....

Good you found it... however as MeshCentral is not running, how would i upgrade from this damaged version? (i assume a command line)

[Ylianst]

As a temporary fix, edit the following file:

node_modules/meshcentral/webserver.js

Find this line:

obj.expressWs = require('express-ws')(obj.app, { wsOptions: { perMessageDeflate: (args.wscompression === true) } });

Change to this:

obj.expressWs = require('express-ws')(obj.app);

Your server should start again. You can then update to the next version when you want.

MeshCentral v0.5.83 is out with the fix for this! Thanks for the report.

[GRIFFCOMMca]

Changed the entry, server running, now updated to v0.5.83

[Ylianst]

It should be in:

C:\Program Files\Open Source\MeshCentral\node_modules\meshcentral\webserver.js

[Ylianst]

Another option is to download the updated file here:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral/master/webserver.js

And overwrite your version of this file:

C:\Program Files\Open Source\MeshCentral\node_modules\meshcentral\webserver.js

You can also make the change above, result will be the same.

Ok, closing this as I think it's fixed. However, please re-open if needed.
