Update docs to fix local-tld config path for custom Node installation #17

Closed adamyeats-zz closed 11 years ago

adamyeats-zz commented 11 years ago

I was on IRC earlier asking about an issue where hoodie start would time out as hoodie could not locate the DB. I've managed to track the issue down to an incorrect Node path set in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ie.hood.local-tld-service.plist.

The file originally looked like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>ie.hood.local-tld-service</string>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
                <string>/usr/local/bin/node</string>
                <string>/Users/adamyeats/.nvm/v0.10.5/lib/node_modules/local-tld/bin/local-tld-service</string>
        </array>
        <key>KeepAlive</key>
        <true/>
        <key>RunAtLoad</key>
        <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Updating it to this fixed the issue:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>ie.hood.local-tld-service</string>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
                <string>/Users/adamyeats/.nvm/v0.10.5/bin/node</string>
                <string>/Users/adamyeats/.nvm/v0.10.5/lib/node_modules/local-tld/bin/local-tld-service</string>
        </array>
        <key>KeepAlive</key>
        <true/>
        <key>RunAtLoad</key>
        <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

This pull request is intended to make the language of the troubleshooting section a little clearer, and to give an explicit mention to the fact that custom Node installations appear not to be supported by local-tld yet. Please get back to me if there are any changes you'd like me to make.

I'm not familiar with Mac stuff, but this should probably be fixed in local-tld. Perhaps using which node or similar in a script to find the location of the node binary? @janl ?

Looks like this has already been discussed here: https://github.com/hoodiehq/local-tld/pull/16 and solutions are being looked into, so this PR should probably be viewed as a temp fix before the problem with local-tld is solved.
