Socket.io keeps getting connection refused

[TheSisb]

In my console I see an error on all the sub-pages:

GET http://127.0.0.1:3001/socket.io/1/?t=1400285414613 net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED 

Checking terminal where the server is running, I see:

Current version up to date.
Screen ready...
Database error: Error: near line 2: no such table: tvshows

/bin/sh: 1: node: not found

Metadata fetching for tv complete...

Any ideas? I followed these instructions: https://github.com/jansmolders86/mediacenterjs/wiki/User-manual:---installing-MediacenterJS I'm installing and running on Ubuntu 14.04 and I opened up TCP/UDP 3000 / 3001

Solved it. My server is messed up and doesn't understand 127.0.0.1 for some weird reason. Replacing the JS with the domain worked lol.

I'm very glad you solved it. :) Thanks for trying the project!

Hey sorry I did more digging and I want to point something out. The reason my server didn't understand 127.0.0.1 was because that was a connection being attempted from my desktop machine through JS, while I had installed MediacenterJS on a different machine on another network. So my desktop was looking for a local socketio connection, not my server.

I will probably send a pull request replacing all those connections from 127.0.0.1 to document.domain shortly.

I also pasted some other code which is a log of some kind, it was a separate issue actually. My server didn't know what "node" was because on Ubuntu 14.04 installing through apt only creates the command "nodejs", so what I had to do to fix it was:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

Hope this helps others in the future trying to get it working remotely!

Thank you very much for elaborating. I built nodejs on my Ubuntu 14.04 hence being able to use node. I will add your virual link method to the faq for the time being. Thanks again for your time and effort!
