The Junkyard Jumbotron is a web tool that makes it really easy to combine a bunch of random displays into a single, large virtual display. It works with laptops, tablets, smartphones -- anything that can run a web browser. And the magic is that all you need to do to configure one is take a photograph of all the screens.

Missing index.html #1

Closed gpolak closed 13 years ago

gpolak commented 13 years ago

After starting the server (node jjserver.js" I get a 500 error when trying to connect to the server on localhost: 500 Error: ENOENT, No such file or directory '/home/george/git/Junkyard-Jumbotron/public/index.html'

Indeed, the listing of "public" seems to be missing an index page:

george@george-laptop:~/git/Junkyard-Jumbotron$ ls public/ css favicon.gif favicon.ico images javascript jumbotrons markers robots.txt samples

Am I missing something?

JJ uses the jade template language, so index.jade in private/views is converted to index.html on the fly.

Try starting node as root, and make sure you aren't running another server, like apache, or make sure change the port in params.js to something other than 80 (8080 for example) and then go to localhost:8080.

I know this is very old, but I'm having this same error: 500 Error: ENOENT, No such file or directory

I've insured the port isn't the issue - changed port in params.js as well as launching with sudo - all resulting in the same 500 error. All other node.js apps work.

Any thoughts?

HI Kevin, I've been off this project for a while, but from what I can remember, there isn't supposed to be a 'public/index.html'. Requests are supposed to go to Jade, which uses 'private/views/index.jade'. Make sure your directory permissions are set correctly so the server has access to these files.

Best of luck, Brian

I found the solution was to use the correct version of nodejs. I used nvm (apt-get install nvm) to install different versions of node (e.g. nvm install 0.8.25 or nvm install 0.4.12) and switch between them instantly (nvm use 0.4.12). 0.8.x didn't work for me, however 0.4.12 did. That is what got rid of the ENOENT error for me.

I still had a problem getting a picture recognised. I could upload a config photo but it was not recognised.
