Back in March of 2016 I set up Node on the server so I could run GameDig to show server stats. I gave a quick code sample of what I did to get GameDig working but said you could find info on getting Node running on the server so I wasn't going to cover it. I probably should have covered it because I don't know how to do that. Four years later, here is a follow up to that news item.
Go into that folder and make install. It will take a really long time to finish. I took the dog for a walk and watched a movie while I waited.
I would like to say you should be able to follow the March 2016 steps now but there are all kinds of errors occuring now so I have to look into those before the game stats page works again.
UPDATE: Ok, GameDig has changed some since I last installed it so the Minecraft response in the current version doesn't translate to what the DOH! Network Games page template is expecting. The game server is showing but I need to update some other params to get the full server details.
I was worried when I started putting my content in MySQL a couple of years back thinking it would be a pain in the neck to restore if I ever had to rebuild the server and I was right. After spending way too much time trying to figure out how to get PHP My Admin working again, I just decided to go straight to adding movies through MySQL commands so the DOH! Network Movies page is working again. Should have just done that in the first place but I got PHP My Admin and it was just easier. Having it not work is better because now I may acually learn some MySQL.
I was thinking of redoing the website since it seemed a lot fo stuff doesn't work without the vanity domain name but I found some workarounds and most things are working now which is good because I wasn't totalyl happy with how things were shaping up on the redesign.
Managed to get everything loading on the homepage except the Johnny icon. That was set up in a database and after rebuilding the server, I haven't fixed SQL yet. Will need to look into that or figure out how to switch that code to javascript. The more I was digging into the code last night, the more I was seeing how outdated most of the code is and that made me want to scrap everything and start from scratch.
Regression time for my first big React app at work. I can't wait to be done with this project and have it out the door for all to see. I'd like to take some of what I have learned and redo the DOH! Network in React or just ES6 but I am still putting in some after hours work on the work stuff and then am not in the mood to code my own stuff. I'm working on cleaning up some of the urls on the current site so it will load but I'm still waiting on the url hosting company to get back to me and tell me their name server update tool is working again.
