WABde 2.6 wont start...

ErikLanhammar — Sun, 12 Nov 2017 11:19:45 GMT

Hello,

So Im trying to run wabde 2.6 on my local machine but I get an error message re body-parser deprecated...

Some googling suggested using below...

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({  extended: true}));

...before calls to app.use(bodyParser....) in server.js .

Tried it but without success. Any ideas how to solve this?

Rgds,

Starting node from commando prompt:

Erik,

That is not an error it is just a warning that has been there since 2.5. It will not prevent the app from working properly.

Robert,

Thanks for your reply. Node never starts, and the dos window shuts down. I have had wabde installed for a month or so and it used to work (the dos window would stay open and I could see calls to wab in it). But now it shuts down a few secs after I right click it and select Run as Admin... The default browser starts to call http://<mymachine.domain>:3344/webappbuilder but without hitting node...

Erik,

I have not seen the:

Do you have a widget that has a events.js file?

Sorry, no events.js in the ...\client\stemapp\widgets folder.

Erik,

Sounds like a corruption of your WAB install. You should re-install WAB. If you are wanting to save some apps from you now defunct WAB then make sure to install the fresh version using a different folder name then the previous one, that way you can copy the server db folder and apps folder from the old to the new.

OK, I did that, the location: C:\Archive\ESRI\wabde\wabde26_oktober download\WebAppBuilderForArcGIS\.. is my second download attempt, since the original WABde I have in C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\wabde\arcgis-web-appbuilder-2.6\WebAppBuilderForArcGIS started to behave...funny...

But Ill redo the whole thing and see if I can find out whats wrong...

I would also try to avoid spaces in your path name. (e.g. the space between oktober and download)

So I downloaded again, but the same result... Here's what it looks like when I run startup.bat. I added a '& Pause' at the end of line 30 in startup.bat just to make the window stay open, without it the window shuts down after 5 secs.

What is going on?!

Erik,

As a test try moving the WAB app out of the Program Files folder to just the root of the C:\

Robert,

Putting wab in c:\26\ render the same result. Could this have something todo

with the default port 3344? I read somewhere that the user running node, in this case me I guess, cannot allocate port numbers below a certain number. So I increased to 33344 and wab started, I also changed the port in the URL in the AGOL application wabde I have registered, but now I get bad redirect url...

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 18:27:16 GMT

Erik,

So it sounds like something else on your machine is using port 3344. Did you go back and register the new port number with AGOL noe that you changed it?

ErikLanhammar — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 19:02:01 GMT

Hm, various netstat combos did not indicate this. But as you say, I havent re-registered the application with urls http and https, just changed it on the existing application. Lets try... nope... I will try some other things and get back with my findings.

Thanks Robert!

Erik,

did you change the port number in the startup.bat file? I have done this in the past to run two different version of WAB simotaniously.

Re: WABde 2.6 wont start...

ErikLanhammar — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 21:03:27 GMT

Yes, I changed port to 33344 in startup.bat

Mvh,
