I need Help about starting cod4xweb

[danishrana49]

@NeHo version of node is v14.21.0

[danishrana49]

@NeHo I installed new version from github and tried to install fresh setup of cod4x panel but this issue won't letting me to start application please help bro.

[danishrana49]

@NeHo Also my linux os is ubuntu 18. latest cod4xweb version downloaded from github, node version is v14.21.0 and npm version is 8.19.2

[NeHo]

@danishrana49 update your node version

You can update it like this

Use n module from npm

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

@NeHo Is it safe to update node and npm without breaking the app? Both of my versions are older and way back but all is working fine. This is only app I have using those but if it works don't change it right ?

I had the same problem as danishrana49 some time back. Older versions worked for me.

[danishrana49]

@NeHo getting this error after updating,

node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by node)

tried many things but seems like ubuntu 18 not working with latest nodejs and npm, if i downgrade to node 14 version and npm 8 version this error fixed but after updating how to fix it?

[NeHo]

@danishrana49 try this pls

sudo apt-get remove nodejs

after removed this

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash - &&\
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

You got that error because node which is built for different ubuntu version was installed

[danishrana49]

@danishrana49 still getting same error after this solution.

node -v
node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by node) npm -v node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by node)

[danishrana49]

@NeHo used same version of ubuntu before, and it works but not working now.

[NeHo]

@SMiLeY you can try, when ever there is a new version I have to update some dependencies to make it work, you can always roll back to previous version. Sometimes new versions break the application if I didn't update some dependencies, it depends what is changed, I will try to update the code from time to time

[NeHo]

@NeHo instead nodejs remove node

sudo apt-get remove node

try after that

[danishrana49]

@NeHo sudo apt-get remove node

[NeHo]

@danishrana49 try this pls

nvm install --lts
nvm alias default 16

[NeHo]

Problem is I only use the latest node version on my local machine, I have multiple websites in node so I would have to update them all to test it out on my ubuntu server

[danishrana49]

@NeHo still getting this error
node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by node)

[SMiLeY]

@danishrana49 did you install nvm on your machine as NeHo said above?

You got the issue because node version is not compatible. You are using 18.04 and I remember the error from when I used it. You can see my versions below. (I use 20.04) They are older but the webadmin works fine. I will make an attempt to update those versions and hope it does not break the app.

smiley@fmjcod4:~$ npm -v
6.14.15
smiley@fmjcod4:~$ node -v
v14.17.3

Try rolling back to these versions and see how it is? I am not expert but worth a try maybe.

[danishrana49]

@danishrana49 Ye i know about nvm, and its installed in my machine, however i downgraded from 16 to 14 as you tell me,
but now i am getting this error

@danishrana49 How did you get on with things?

I updated to latest npm and nodejs using 20.04 lts and still working ok.

Now using node v18.12.1 (npm v8.19.2)

When I have restarted the app it reverts back to v14.17.3 automatically.

[danishrana49]

@SMiLeY All fixed now, @NeHo helped me alot in errors. it was my server issue. he fixed things and panel is working fine now.

[SMiLeY]

@danishrana49 Nice one

Good to hear.
