Port Configuration
Before setting up the port, check available ports with this command:
sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep 8003
If you see a response like above, it means this port is occupied by another project. Try other ports like 8000, 8001, 8002, etc.
If you get no response, it means the port is available and you can use it.
Now add the available port to your package.json and .htaccess files:
Copy the .htaccess file code and change the port number as needed.
Project Setup
Make sure you have node_modules installed in your directory.
Install project dependencies:
npm install
This will install all the node modules in your directory.
After that, build the production application:
npm run build
Running the PM2 Server
Go to the project root and start the PM2 server:
pm2 start "npm start" -n "YOUR_PROJECT_NAME"
Check if PM2 process is running correctly:
pm2 ls
When you run pm2 ls, you will see one of two types of output:
-
Error:
-
Success:
If you're getting errors, run pm2 logs and check the error details.
If successful, set up a startup script to ensure PM2 restarts automatically after a system reboot:
pm2 startup
After setting up PM2 with the startup command, save the current process list
pm2 save
If you want to restart your pm2 process then run pm2 restart id // Replace id with your process id
For example here id is 0 in the above screenshot pm2 restart 0
For deleting the previous project running in the PM2 server, use the following command
pm2 delete "YOUR_PROJECT_NAME"
