Error when trying to start server

kmafeni04 commented 9 months ago

I'm following the manual guide and tried to start the server. Received this error :

nginx: [error] init_by_lua error: init_by_lua(nginx.conf.compiled:14):2: module 'lpeg' not found:

I've also tried installing lpeg using luarocks

Hi! Had this issue, found a workaround. You can try do the following:

Initialize a directory for your project with luarocks init --lua-version=5.1
Install lapis for current project luarocks install lapis
Create new lapis project with lapis new
Set environment variables with eval $(luarocks path)
Run your lapis server lapis serve

Hope it helps

@DKlygov Thank you, this works, but it creates so many files. Is this the only workaround?

Well, you can always write a .gitignore file, so there is nothing to worry about, tbh. Just don't ignore a .rockspec file. You can install all the deps with luarocks install --only-deps <your-file-name>.rockspec --lua-version=5.1
