I must be honest when I say I have really no idea on all this nodejs thing.
So I’m just trying my best on understand how this works.
I made an api and seems working on localhost:
But not on my digital ocean droplet:
The app is running and all it’s there:
Should I need to configure something else?
Thanks in advance
Seems that api values has not been deployed. Try to save all again and re deploy it
Thanks for the reply.
This image is actually the ftp, so it’s on the server
For more information, I’m not using docker
Just created a droplet, installed nodejs, started the server via pm2 index.js
And uploading it via sftp
All files you want to be publicly accessible need to go inside folder public
Thanks @Apple
But that’s the way of using server connect?
If I move the api to public, I need to rename the server connect from
<dmx-serverconnect id="serverconnect1" url="/api/value"></dmx-serverconnect>
to
<dmx-serverconnect id="serverconnect1" url="/api/value.json"></dmx-serverconnect>
Edit: Ignore everything I wrote below, it’s completely incorrect
It’s very confusing to me what you’re trying to do, a Server Connect is to connect to a Server Action. Maybe you want to use “API Data Source” instead?
And yes, you need to “rename” to /api/value.json. I’m not sure why it worked on localhost without renaming… Something to do you with your web server configuration I guess.
Edit: MY BAD, sorry, let me think.
You’re right, you did everything right, sorry, forget about the public folder and renaming I mentioned earlier
All I can think are folder/file permissions are not set correctly, but this is just a theory, it’s very hard to know the problem you’re experiencing. Set folder/file permissions (chmod) to 777 to test
Done without success, same thing
You need to restart the NodeJS app, files are loaded on start-up
You have no idea how grateful I am for your help!
I couldn’t have known that on my own, adding some beers for you on the list
A really and big thank you @Apple
Glad we solved the problem! You’re welcome!
Every time you update your app, you need to restart it. Maybe this was the problem since the beginning 
Starting with version 18, node reloads automatically, just type node --watch index.js in the terminal
Definitely, the api was uploaded after the site was running without any server action, so it has all sense now.
Good to know, thanks for the advice.
Thanks @AdrianoLuiz I'll take note of this.
Never thought possible going with nodejs, this community make so simple everything, thanks both again.
