"This domain does not exists" Issue while Setting up ExpressJS App

[jamesm671]

Hi! Geniuses @CyberPanel
Following the instructions of Setup Express.js Application on CyberPanel/OpenLiteSpeed, I attempted to create a node.js site as outlined in step 1, however, both the GUI and CLI of CyberPanel requested PHP, so I skipped to step 2 and went all the way to the end of step 3, but there is no new domain displayed in the List Websites.

Then I jumped to step 4, putting https:// < IP Address >:8090/websites/my_nodejs_site.com in the search bar, an error message popped up on the CyberPanel GUI, saying “This domain does not exists”.

Create a website, install nodejs and setup your nodejs app within that website - Go to Cyberpanel → Websites → List Websites → Click the website/domain you want to setup a website → Click on File Manager

Some gotchas

Deploy nodejs app doesn'nt work

Cannot serve ECMAScript 6/2015 for ExpressJS NodeJS app

The issue is similar to CommonJS and ES6 with NodeJS - #4 by josephgodwinke by contacting @zaesar @zaesar2 @zaesar3 directly we were able to fix this by changing all his “server” code (serving the reactjs app) to commonjs and website works as expected - https://aifilms.ai/

CommonJS and ES6 with NodeJS

Hello I made an Express JS app with Node Js 16 The index file is const express = require('express'); const app = express(); const port = 3000; app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!')) app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}!`)) This app work but if I convert it to ES6 app and the file will look like this then import express from 'express'; const app = express(); const port = 3000; app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!')) app.lis…

But both the GUI and CLI of CyberPanel requested PHP, what am I going to do? pick up a version of PHP? but my subsite is node.js.
By the way, I am using Putty as CyberPanel CLI.

OK, thanks.
By the way, I am using Putty as CyberPanel CLI. Is this OK?

[josephgodwinke]

You mean you are using cybperpanel cli ? Yes use it by all means

Make sure to create a website first before doing anything - CyberPanel Command Line Interface but if you are first timer its best you do everything on the panel just incase you miss something.

through Putty, is it OK?

[josephgodwinke]

Yes its just a cli. Use it on vnc, ssh. There is no where else to use it.

[jamesm671]

Thanks again. josephgodwinke.
Sorry for being late to reply. The forum system said I hit the limit of 21 and didn’t allow me to post anymore yesterday.
