Number of Errors

[nixonthekat]

Great Script. I'm testing it on windows atm and using the version of node.js that you listed as your current version you were using., I cd'd to my directory where the server is located, and as I run server.js it tells me I am missing

• mysql-libmysqlclient

So, I tried - npm install mysql-libmysqlclient it starts to download and gives me the following error

• http://i.snapthat.net/lnDQ.png

When installing the mysql-libmysqlclient package manually I get this..

• http://i.snapthat.net/jQti.png

I also tried some later versions of node.js and received the same error. Was this built to be run on linux or is this a general error? Would be great for some help -Nixon

You have to have the MySQL client libraries installed on your computer. On Linux this is typically done by installing a package like 'mysql-client' or 'libmysqlclient'. I don't know what the windows equivalent is off the top of my head but I can look into it.

[nixonthekat]

Oh strange, but yeah that'd be awesome if you could. I've been looking around myself and can't seem to find anything about it. I will try this on ubuntu later tho.

Just set up a VM.

[calzoneman]

Have you tried installing this? http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/c/#downloads

[nixonthekat]

Yeah I installed it earlier today, I just attempted this on linux on a VM, it has a problem with bcrypt for some reason but everything is setup right, maybe if you add my skype nixonsexman you could give me a hand on team viewer if you're available?

Have you tried installing bcrypt separately instead of batched with the rest of them?

npm install bcrypt

[nixonthekat]

Yep, This error was returned. I did as it said. Same Result I have no idea what's causing this http://i.snapthat.net/5CAk.png

[calzoneman]

Oh you're still using Windows? Your previous comment implied you were having this issue on Linux.

In any case, the big red error message at the top indicates that npm needs to have Visual C++ installed (this makes sense, because it actually has to compile the bcrypt source). According to their README, OpenSSL is also a dependency: https://github.com/ncb000gt/node.bcrypt.js

If you have further questions/issues with bcrypt, I'd take it up with the developers of the node binding of it (listed above), they'll be able to help you better.

also, have a care what version of node.js you're installing.

git pull https://github.com/joyent/node pulls the 11.0 alpha build that does not play well with libmysqlclient

check your git sofware documentation on how to pull a specific branch. You want the 10.0 version then in your sync dir rename the node_modules to something else and do: npm install this will get all the dependencies sorted out.

[nixonthekat]

I tired both of your options, I have 10.0 installed for 64 bit, it installed it in c:\Program Files\nodejs. When I renamed the folder I did npm install it listed all the downloads, it was going normal: http://i.snapthat.net/DRc6.png and then error's went crazy, it ended up starting to download more http://i.snapthat.net/n834.png and leading to more errors. I'm not sure what's causing this tbh, i'll try linux again. However when I install these packages without setting my cd to cytube it works fine and downloads everything without issue. But with cding to cytube I receive errors.

I imported the successful downloaded dependencies to my cytube and when running node server.js this is my following error: http://i.snapthat.net/80df.png

[coconono]

do you have UAC turned off? UAC on will muck with folder permissions.

But yes, switch to linux. I've got my mine running on CentOS and without too much trouble. I'm compiling my setup notes into documentation, so if you need anything, let me know.

[calzoneman]

@nixonthekat The ENOENT and ENOTEMPTY errors are a npm issue, probably because the installation was half-finished. Try deleting the node_modules folder and installing each of the dependencies one at a time.

I'm not sure about the last error, it could again be a problem of mysql-libmysqlclient not being fully installed, but I really don't know.

What I do know is that I had no issues installing it on Debian, CentOS, and Arch. I may try figuring out how to install it on Windows.

[nixonthekat]

I think UAC is turned off @coconono , Yeah it is.

I have no idea either I was getting errors on ubuntu as well (but that's because apt-get install got the latest version of nodejs and I was getting errors. I'll retry tonight and let you know if I got it. Thanks for the support so for tho. both of you.

[Attiasthehun]

Had a try at this on Ubuntu, and sure enough same errors accured.

[calzoneman]

Which version of node is in their repositories? On Debian and CentOS I downloaded and compiled the source.

I've tested this with node 0.8.23, 0.9.4, 0.10.x on Debian 6, Debian 7, CentOS 6, and Arch (all built from source) and had no issues.

Which errors? Is it libmysqlclient again?

EDIT: Downloading Ubuntu 13.04 and I'll try it in a virtual machine.

[calzoneman]

Fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04, installed "nodejs" package from apt-get and it's v0.6. Here's how to get a newer version:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.5/node-v0.10.5.tar.gz
tar xf node-v0.10.5.tar.gz
cd node-v0.10.5
./configure
make (may take a while, pass the -j# flag where # is the number of cores to compile with)
sudo make install
node -v
(Should print 0.10.5)

[calzoneman]

Full steps to installing CyTube on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install build-essential git libmysqlclient-dev
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.5/node-v0.10.5.tar.gz
tar xf node-v0.10.5.tar.gz
cd node-v0.10.5
./configure
make (may take a while, pass the -j# flag where # is the number of cores to compile with)
sudo make install
node -v
(Should print 0.10.5)
cd -
git clone https://github.com/calzoneman/sync
cd sync
npm install

[calzoneman]

Which port are you attempting to use? Ports below 1000 can only be bound by a superuser, and EADDRINUSE means something else is already listening on the port you chose.

Please note CyTube has a built in webserver (express), so it's not necessary to serve the client from Apache or another webserver.

[Attiasthehun]

Yep i just noticed so the errors are gone now looks like the server is running. Superb everything is working now calzoneman i can confirm this will work on Ubuntu.

[nixonthekat]

Thanks Calzoneman, That solved all my issues.
