    UPDATE: The hosting provider I am using in this video (HostWithLove: bit.ly/3V2RM9Q) now allows you to run apps in Node 18.14 (and also still older versions, if you prefer).
    I highly recommend them if you do not already have shared hosting space for their great support and fair pricing.

    In new Cpanel version when creatinf subdomains we have to use Domains instead, subdomains have been deprecated, but once i want to make new subdomain it automatically places it under public_html. Can you please make a new video on updated Cpanel?

    Is it okey if i have react client part of website in one folder, Nodejs server in second folder, mysql as third folder and all three of those folders to be inside one root folder for all of them to be deployed to Cpanel?

    • @OpenJavaScript
      @OpenJavaScript  Рік тому +4

      Ideally, these should be in separate locations: frontend in the public_html folder, Node.js app usually in its own folder in the root folder and you can access your MySQL database(s) via phpMyAdmin in cPanel.
      You could try this but I wouldn't recommend it for security (potentially making sensitive data more accessbile) and also compatibility (cPanel is usually set up to expect MySQL to be stored in a separate location).
      But, the good news is, all three can interact with each other when dpeloyed. So you could make a request from your React app to a Node.js server that then contacts your MySQL database.
      For how to interact with a MySQL server in Node.js, I cover that in this tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/xwfeik3bPpw/v-deo.html
      If you have any questions about it, let me know in the comments on that video.

    When node app was not running the whole file where listed and anyone can view this, does this mean if our app is crashed and anyone enter then he will be able to see our backend files ???
    If yes then it will be a Big issue if not then how we be sure that our backend file is secured

    • @OpenJavaScript
      @OpenJavaScript  Рік тому

      Good question!
      There are actually a few ways of doing that:
      1) Set the "application root" to a folder that is not the same as the main folder for the domain you are running the app on. Then, if the app crashes, the folder doesn't contain the app files.
      2) Use a full stop in front of any files that are in the domain folder you don't want to server (e.g. ".app.js"). Though this can be error-prone.
      3) Change the folder permissions so that the folder cannot be read (can be done in cPanel file manager).
      Probably 1 and 3 are the most secure solutions.

    What about if we want to host the app on a main domain...not subdomain. how do we do that?

    • @OpenJavaScript
      @OpenJavaScript  Рік тому

      First thing I would try is setting the Application URL ( around 3:50 in the video ) to the main domain when setting up a new Node app.
      If this doesn't work, it's likely that there is a conflict between your hosting service being set up to serve files from your public_html folder and your attempt to serve a Node.js app on that domain. In this case I'd contact your web host to let them know you'd like your hosting configured to serve your Node app on the main doamin.

    • @OpenJavaScript
      @OpenJavaScript  Рік тому

      To deploy your Next.js app in the way I did in this tutorial, you need to follow a few preparatory steps.
      Someone else asked about this, so I'll copy in the answer again here:
      ---
      Creare the following server.js file in your project (code from Next.js website):
      // server.js
      const { createServer } = require('http')
      const { parse } = require('url')
      const next = require('next')
      const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'
      const hostname = 'localhost'
      const port = 3000
      // when using middleware `hostname` and `port` must be provided below
      const app = next({ dev, hostname, port })
      const handle = app.getRequestHandler()
      app.prepare().then(() => {
      createServer(async (req, res) => {
      try {
      // Be sure to pass `true` as the second argument to `url.parse`.
      // This tells it to parse the query portion of the URL.
      const parsedUrl = parse(req.url, true)
      const { pathname, query } = parsedUrl
      if (pathname === '/a') {
      await app.render(req, res, '/a', query)
      } else if (pathname === '/b') {
      await app.render(req, res, '/b', query)
      } else {
      await handle(req, res, parsedUrl)
      }
      } catch (err) {
      console.error('Error occurred handling', req.url, err)
      res.statusCode = 500
      res.end('internal server error')
      }
      })
      .once('error', (err) => {
      console.error(err)
      process.exit(1)
      })
      .listen(port, () => {
      console.log(`> Ready on ${hostname}:${port}`)
      })
      })
      Then change the script section in your package.json file to this:
      "scripts": {
      "dev": "node server.js",
      "build": "next build",
      "start": "NODE_ENV=production node server.js"
      }
      After this, run 'npm run build' locally and then upload the resulting files to the 'application root' folder you specify in cPanel and set the 'application startup file' also in cPanel to server.js.
      Then, deploy your app as per this tutorial and it should hopefully be working.

      If you already have shared hosting with cPanel, the easiest way would be to contact your hosting provider, asking them to update it on their side.
      If you have command line access (not always allowed) and are comfortable with using it (I wouldn't advise this if you are not), you may consider updating yourself.

    • @OpenJavaScript
      @OpenJavaScript  Рік тому

      If you make changes to your app itself and want these to be effective, you need to redeploy it.
      The simplest way would be to stop your app, update the files in the files folder (application root path) and then start the app again.
      If you just change the files if the application root path without redeploying, these won't be effective.

      You can only access your cpanel with your hosting provider but you might also be able to connect to your shared hosting space via SSH (if you provider supports it).
      If 'terminal' is available in your cpanel, it means you probably have access and can do it. Otherwise you should contact your host. They may even provide documentation!

    How can Cpanel know that the express server is on port 3000?

    • @OpenJavaScript
      @OpenJavaScript  Рік тому

      When creating a new Node application, you specify an application startup file (e.g. app.js) and from this the port number to run the server on is read.
      In this example, 'app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000)' is specified, meaning that when deploying, the server will first look to the value of the PORT environment variable for your suggested port and, if no value is present, use 3000.
      But note that, on a shared server via cpanel (unlike locally, where you have full control over your computer as a server), your application may be silently run on a different port from the one you suggest.

      ​ @EVOLI The server that is hosting and running cPanel makes the final call on which port to run your app. It will configure the Node app running on that port to be served when a request comes in to domain you are choosing to run your app on.

      Spent 3 days trying node on Cpanel. All kinds of errors!

      ​@@efoobright5041 It's unlikely to be size-related as Express isn't that large relative to your limit.
      Because it's working only without dependencies I would guess it's a problem of node_modules being uploaded correctly.
      If npm install in cPanel isn't working for you (when the app is stopped), I would recommend trying to upload the node_modules folder to the root directory of your app yourself. I have tried this previously and it fixed a similar issue.
