Error while uploading of pieces to local installation

[lprisan]

Hi there,

I am trying to run a local Tabloro server, and everything seems to work fine, until I try to upload a game piece, which invariably leads to an alert saying simply "error".

Running in Ubuntu 14.04 with node v6.2.1 , npm v3.9.3 , mongod v2.4.9 . The output of npm is:

exception in nodemon killing node
Error: read ECONNRESET
at exports._errnoException (util.js:1007:11)
at Pipe.onread (net.js:563:26)
If appropriate, please file an error with the output from:

Hello
You need to set the env variables for your amazon s3 storage etc.

ADMIN_MAIL

[email protected]

IMAGER_S3_BUCKET

e.g. mytabloro

IMAGER_S3_KEY

IMAGER_S3_SECRET

MONGOHQ_URL

e.g. mongodb://heroku_app...

MONGOLAB_URI

e.g. mongodb://heroku_....

NODE_ENV

e.g. production

NODE_PATH

e.g. ./config:./app/controllers:./lib

PORT

e.g. 80

Thanks a lot for the response! :)

I have added the environment variables in a startup script before launching the server (the mongodb ones I omitted since I am using a local mongodb server in the default port), e.g.,

#!/bin/bash
export ADMIN_MAIL=<my_real_email>
export IMAGER_S3_BUCKET=<my_real_s3_bucket>
export IMAGER_S3_KEY=<my_real_s3_key>
export IMAGER_S3_SECRET=<my_real_s3_secret>
export NODE_ENV=development
export NODE_PATH=./config:./app/controllers:./lib
npm start

... and now when I upload a game piece I see a message saying that it successfully created the piece, BUT it does not show it onscreen (and indeed, the S3 bucket remains empty).

I attach the output of the javascript console after the creation, in case it is useful (basically, it is making hundreds of failed requests for the image).

localhost-1466178899102.log.zip

Any idea of what can be going wrong, or where to look for further logs about the upload process? also, is there any way to setup a local Tabloro server that does not rely on S3?

PS: if you find it useful, I could document the installation process of a local server in the README file of the project (once I get it to work) ;)

Update: Playing around, I have noticed that the URL that tabloro tries to GET for the images (http://<bucketname>.s3-<region>.amazonaws.com/) is different from the ones that images uploaded (manually) in my bucket have (https://s3.<region>.amazonaws.com/<bucketname>/).

Does this have anything to do with the upload seemingly failing? Does the S3 bucket have to be setup in any special way (e.g., permissions, etc.)?

Thanks!

OK, I think I got it, the bucket has to be created in the "us-standard" region for imager to work, see madhums/node-imager#77

(Probably this should be said somewhere in some README... not sure if imager or tabloro's)

Yes, sorry there is this bug with US buckets
