Are you behind a proxy?

Riccaleu · 14 December 2023 16:33

yes, i mange to by pass it thanks npm install, but noderd fails

Colin · 14 December 2023 16:36

In what way? Post the output you get when you run
node-red-stop
node-red-start
Copy/paste please not screenshot

Riccaleu · 14 December 2023 16:42

none of them works, mybe i do it wrong

Colin · 14 December 2023 16:44

In that case presumably you did not install node-red using the recommended script Running on Raspberry Pi : Node-RED

In that case stop node-red and start it again in a command window using whatever method you normally use.
I presume, since you have not said, that you are not using Docker or Home Assistant.

Riccaleu · 14 December 2023 16:51

Sorry colin did not explain myself proprerly, im working on windows, in a VPN of my client, for another client i manged it with no problem

Colin · 14 December 2023 16:53

You need to open a command window on the pi and run the commands.

Steve-Mcl · 14 December 2023 16:59

node-red-stop node-red-start are not windows things (these are service start/stop commands setup by the PI installer script) - forget about these for now.

Clearly the Node-RED server (backend part - not the front end browser you are using to access the node-red) cannot access the internet.

And this looks very wrong.

On windows, if you have not redirected output of node-red to a file, then there is no way to get the log. You can however simply start node-red in a command terminal under the correct account that _normally runs it (usually started by typing node-red into a command terminal) to see the output of node-red.

Oh, I have mixed two threads up, I thought this was on a pi.

I believe that @Riccaleu has got past the npm problem but now has an error stating node red.

i put this to hide the registry, by the way i know how to run it, here below the full log hiding private url/name in bold

So again, as you can see, Node-RED is not connecting to the internet.

And you state you computer that runs Node-RED does have internet access (or at least access to the NPM registry)?

Does the internet access require a proxy setting and if so, have you set HTTP_PROXY (and associated env vars) on the Node-RED server?

As a test, on the Node-RED server, can you ping npmjs.com? Can you cURL https://registry.npmjs.org/moment/-/moment-2.29.4.tgz --output C:\temp\moment.tgz (or in PS Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://registry.npmjs.org/moment/-/moment-2.29.4.tgz" -OutFile "C:\temp\moment.tgz"

Riccaleu · 15 December 2023 08:15

I'm confused.

Are your problems now fixed?

Or do you still need help?

Riccaleu · 15 December 2023 08:50

I'm sorry to not explain me well , but no resoloution yet.
When run node-red from CMD i still have that problem(even as admin ), the execution tries to install moment but fails as before

Steve-Mcl · 15 December 2023 08:57

What is not clear:

Which account runs node-red?
Does that account NEED a proxy setting
Does that account have access to NPM
Have you set the necessary ENV VARs for that account
What proxy settings are set in in NPM config (both local account and global)

Riccaleu · 15 December 2023 09:39

ADMIN

no any proxy for the account it sims is a problem of Npm/node-red

yes

did not set anything, how to check the ENV vars?

how can i check this config?

Riccaleu · 15 December 2023 09:49

i found this on .npmrc

egistry=https: **url** :4873/
strict-ssl=false

it literrally don't know why is there it should not compare. is related to a my company )(a sort of hub ov node palette

Steve-Mcl · 15 December 2023 10:31

That response does not make sense to me.

Is there a proxy involved in the communication from the Windows machine to the internet?

If YES, then you need to set Env Vars accordingly.
If NO, ignore.

Riccaleu:

If you have an .npmrc file then that might be why npm cannot install - try deleting it (or temporarily renaming it to something else).

If you do need proxy settings (ignore if not)

In previous times, this is how I have set proxy details on windows to permit Node-RED (NPM) install via a proxy:

    SET PROXY=http://my-proxy-ip:8000/
    setx HTTP_PROXY http://%PROXY%/ /M 
    setx HTTPS_PROXY http://%PROXY%/ /M 
    setx NO_PROXY "127.0.0.1, localhost, _others_non_proxy_entries_" /M 

    start cmd /c "npm config set proxy http://%PROXY%/"
    start cmd /c "npm config set https-proxy http://%PROXY%/"
    start cmd /c "npm config set strict-ssl false"

did it sorry to waste your time but i'm new with node, networks and so on. Can you briefly explain what is Npmrc file
thanks for anything.
