Hello,

Please, specify the following:

1. What version of Helicon Zoo are you using?
2. IS it IIS or IIS Express?
3. Have you managed to install node.js? where is it? did you get node.exe? can you run in from command line?
4. Where has the app been deployed? Do you have server.js in it? Did you manage to install all other modules in node_modules folder?
5. Does the second request get the same error?

Regards
Andrew

App located in nodejs virtual directory is sample app which can be downloaded using WPI (Node.js project). server.js file contains:

Code: Select all

var express = require('express');
var app = module.exports = express.createServer();
app.get('/:url?', function(req, res){
    res.send('<html><head><title>Hello from node.js!</title><link href="styles/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /></head><body><h1>Hello from node.js!</h1></body></html>');
});
app.listen(process.env.PORT);

App is being runned on normal IIS7 server (Windows7).

EDIT: Node.js was installed also using WPI.

1. is there a folder named node_modules in the project's folder?
2. what do you have in this folder?
3. if you don't have this folder, please, check permissions for nodejs folder. Permissions to write need to be granted for User that runs pool
4. The commands from console for starting deploy-script are: (seems like it didin't start and didn't install express)

Code: Select all

cd C:\ProjektyASP\PHP\test\nodejs
deploy.cmd

Does this folder should be created by node.js or it should come with node.js project downloaded from WPI?

[Yaroslav]

Currently the folder is created by node.js so it needs write permissions to install required modules.

Hello,

I was testing it on my local windows, I've even added everyone to full permissions for this folder but this has not changed anything. Today I've also installed Helicon Zoo on my production server with node.js support and I'm getting the same error.

EDIT: Permissions are set up by WebsitePanel. Dedicated app pool has dedicated user with proper permissions to created wwwroot folder.

[HeliconAndrew]

Unfortunately we can not suggest anything until you provide us with the information we requested:

1. is there a folder named node_modules in the project's folder?
2. what do you have in this folder?
3. if you don't have this folder, please, check permissions for nodejs folder. Permissions to write need to be granted for User that runs pool
4. The commands from console for starting deploy-script are: (seems like it didin't start and didn't install express)

Code: Select all

cd C:\ProjektyASP\PHP\test\nodejs

I have a site set up in IIS 5 that is running an ASP site. When i try to view a page for this site i get this error in the browser and nothing else "The system cannot find the file specified". Even if i try to view an html page it throws the same error. I've gone through everything to try and find out what possibly could be missing and everything seems to be there that needs to be. Anyone have any insight or have any theories as to what could be causing this?

I think you should ask your question on IIS 5/6 forums:
