Caleb I know it's 2 years later but thanks for this video bro. You've always had down to earth explanations that people from all learning styles can understand.
If you're watching this, here's whats going on with the 502 error: Don't make a new variable in elastic beanstalk called "port"! Amazon already sets the environment variable for you...but they set the variable "PORT", not "port". So in your app.js code change "process.env.port" to "process.env.PORT" and things will work properly... Except they won't. For a lot of you, you're still getting a 502 error. But that isn't because of the port; your application simply can't start, with or without AWS. The issue is that AWS is trying to run a command like "npm start" but it isnt working. On your local machine navigate to the project directory in your terminal and try "npm start". If that fails, then you've found the problem. Here's how you fix it... npm start, by default, looks for a file called "server.js", not "app.js" like he told you to name your file. There are two solutions. The first is to change the settings in your project to make it look for "app.js" instead. The second solution is to simply change "app.js" file name to "server.js". I recommend the second option. Repush after making these changes and you should be good to go.
I like that you showed even the errors you encountered so that it can help us debug/fix it. Thank you buddy! I will slap the "like" button and subscribe too!
Man just what I needed! Thanks! If any of you guys is having trouble trying to connect to a RDS Database from an Elastic Beanstalk Node.JS app check the SECURITY GROUP POLICY of the DB to accept traffic from Custom > Your Beanstalk Instance (this must be done manually) . Also check if you have a NPM RUN script in your package.json (it wont work otherwise) and your ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES set in the Beanstalk environment section.
Hey man thanks for this video, I used to watch you alot during my senior year of university for DBMS. Glad to see that 3 years later you're still producing content that is completely relevant to me haha
For anyone watching and still getting a 502 error make sure to define a "start" script in your package.json, in my case I did: "start":"node app.js" Also make sure to define your port in env config and look in the logs to see which port your environment is running on
god bless you man, the problem was the json file. people, be careful even if the "start":"nodemon server.js" looks like this. it will BE WRONG because of nodemon, just use node server.js as well or app.js if thats the case
@@Heliotropeeee I wish I read the comments earlier, I just found it in the logs that nodemon was the issue. then I came to the comments and immediately saw this hahaha
Bloomin eck Caleb - nicely done. I needed a very simple start for my first was deploy - I feel like I learned all the steps waaay beyond this and was missing this critical step. Subscribed. Thank you.
instead of adding port as env variable you should use PORT(all caps) in your code for it to work also it is a good practice to have environment variables in all caps
So good. Thank you. This worked great for me (had been trying to figure it out for a while). Site up and going , until it's time to hit the DB on Atlas! Would be great to see the Mongo DB part you were going to do.
Love the video and your attitude! Keep it up! When you see the kind of videos AWS Solution Architects make you're happy that they're not the only ones.
haven't finished watching this but already loving it. Subscribed straight away. I am in the process of making a complete career re-direction aka "CHANGE" and will need easy-to-follow videos like this one here. Nice one Caleb!!
Cool Caleb. Tip for beginners, AWS EB considers app.js as default start script. If different, explicitly mention in package.json. "start": "src/app-main.js"
Thank You So.............................Much Sir. Finally, deploy my node application on AWS and it's working fine. One more time thanks and also subscribe to your channel.
I have created a express app with around 10 api endpoints and hosted on elastic beanstalk server, how do I check how much compute resource each endpoint is taking?
Hi Caleb! Could you please help me with deployment my NodeJS application? I did everything according to your tutorial, but for some reason only the deploy to the AWS EB does not work
thank God you finally did, I thought you would say "We couldn't make it in this tutorial, let me create another one and watch it next week" hah, anyways, Great stuff very helpful!
Hey man, I keep getting this error when I try deploy the pipeline, do you know what the issue could be? Action execution failed Deployment completed, but with errors: During an aborted deployment, some instances may have deployed the new application version. To ensure all instances are running the same version, re-deploy the appropriate application version. Failed to deploy application. Unsuccessful command execution on instance id(s) 'i-08cb1ec6aa6770914'. Aborting the operation. [Instance: i-08cb1ec6aa6770914] Command failed on instance. An unexpected error has occurred [ErrorCode: 0000000001].
For someone who is getting this error - the solution is you might have defined node version in your package.json file. Correct it or remove details of node version from your package.json file. Cheers...
I know this is later but im having this problem still with the 502 nginx error and the port fix doesnt work but im also using a Postgres db thats on RDS and i think that may be causing the issue as well. any suggestions?
Thank you so much! btw some differences were there when running this in my case. By the help of the comment section I was able to deploy my app. Great Explanation 🤩❤️
Really cool man thanks for the tutorial, just what I needed. I had to open port "8080" in my settings, so guess they are distributed differently, maybe you should put that into the description if someone has the same issue (you find it in the log if anyone missed that).
“we want to deploy node.js REST API on AWS. currently using elastic beanstalk service to deploy the api from github. But we want to enable "https" on our api. right now the url that aws gives is http only”
it works but its not free, internally load balance is used with t2.small instance type which is not free and there is no way of stopping application, only termination of application is available. pls suggest some free instance

This 100% solved my issue with bad gateway. Thanks!

@Pety im still getting the 502 error :( any other suggestions? Im getting both connections just fine, it just won't let me open up the web app
im also trying to return in an html page, not just a welcome message
@@garinnmorton9640 oh no! when you run "npm start" on your local machine, does it work?
You, Sir, are a true hero. Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed.
>"502 Bad Gateway, yeah!... so that's the end of the tutorial."

Thanks a lot Caleb!
Love how you celebrate your failures/errors. That's the best attitude
I am halfway to the video, the way you summed up everything. its marvellous and big thank you

Yes caleb we are very interested on a tutorial on how to use mongo db with this. pls do

This was exactly what I needed to get my app up and running. Thank you for a down-to-earth, straightforward tutorial
For anyone watching and still getting a 502 error make sure to define a "start" script in your package.json, in my case I did:
"start":"node app.js"
Also make sure to define your port in env config and look in the logs to see which port your environment is running on

That deployment reaction is one we all know all too well! 😂😂

Do we need to use docker or jenkins with elastic beanstalk?
All the checks passed, my code is the same, but the public url times out every time. Do you have any possible solutions?
I know this is later but im having this problem still with the 502 nginx error and the port fix doesnt work but im also using a Postgres db thats on RDS and i think that may be causing the issue as well. any suggestions?

thanks! this was useful
it's very useful but still get the error 502! no google answer :( .. What was ur problem share plz.
“we want to deploy node.js REST API on AWS. currently using elastic beanstalk service to deploy the api from github. But we want to enable "https" on our api. right now the url that aws gives is http only”
Good, Keep it up....
it works but its not free, internally load balance is used with t2.small instance type which is not free and there is no way of stopping application, only termination of application is available. pls suggest some free instance
For any gateway issues.
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000 use PORT instead of port
Thanks, man! That worked for me.
