Connecting nodejs to ga-bitbot #52

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Sorry for using the issues to ask beginner questions :S There doesn't seem to 
be an IRC channel or mailinglist for these.

The nodejs interface (the one on 8088) seems to keep saying 'disconnected'. Is 
it still a work in progress or should I do something to connect it somehow?

Running server.js from the command line you should see something like this:
(btw, mtgox shouldn't be disconnecting, I suspect it's an issue on their side.)

$ node server.js
   info  - socket.io started
CONNECTED : https://socketio.mtgox.com:443/mtgox

Also, the webpage wont connect to the ga-bitbot websocket when accessing the 
server through localhost (http://localhost:8088). You must either use the 
loopback address (127.0.0.1) or the IP address. It's this web socket connection 
which is generating the connected / disconnected status.

I was using the (firewalled) external IP address, since I've got ga-bitbot 
running on a VPS. Still shows disconnected, whichever address I use...

Also, localhost is an alias for 127.0.0.1 (check you /etc/hosts), why would 
that make a difference?

I'm not sure why it would make a difference, the webserver still operates over 
localhost, it's the websocket connection that's failing. I'll have to look into 
the socket.io connections to verify they're setup correctly.

If your trying to access the web page on a remote server the only port you 
should need to have open on your remote firewall is 8088. If the firewall is 
already open then all I can think of is that it's interfering with the web 
socket connection somehow.

I ran a test yesterday on an AWS server with all ports open and I could access 
it no problem. I'll run another test tonight with only the 8088 port open and 
see what happens.

PEBKAC, sorry. Didn't occur to me that it needs to contact 8088 from the 
browser, I had an Apache Proxy setup. Works now and is pretty awesome.
