[SOLVED] WebGUI not working

Web-UI
1

When regularly updating the WebGUI, the webGUI was not reachable again.
I carefully read this webforum, tried the suggestions on https://minecraft.codeemo.com/mineoswiki/index.php?title=Updating_the_Webui more than once, but still no reachable WebGUI .

See the most relevant part of the commandline below.
I’m a noob on *nux machines, so what should I do to get WebGui back again for my kids?

Regards, Francois

You sure you’ve been updating it usually? Because you’re using a really, REALLY old version of node, .0.12.7.

Per release 1.12:

Last working commit for Node pre-v4.0
@hexparrot hexparrot released this on Nov 23, 2015 · 171 commits to master since this release

Commits after this depend on path.parse, which exists in the Node API only 4.0 (stable) and beyond. All users are recommended to move to a stable build of NodeJS, beyond v0.10-0.12.

In other words, since Nov 23, 2015 0.12.x should’ve been far too old to work–there’s even been numerous version bumps of all those package.json files recently and probably before that about a year ago.

Well, regardless, the solution is: install a new version of NodeJS.

See the installation instructions in the MineOS wiki for your distribution; you’ll only need to follow the instructions regarding installing NodeJS. Alternatively, you can follow any internet tutorials for installing Node 4.x, wherever you may find it.

Will,

thanks; the WebGui is working again.
I don’t know why node.js did not update during past years.
I assumed the update script handles this but apparently it did not.
Never mind, I do know how to update node.je manually.
Kids are happy again… :slight_smile:
