HTTP method error during installation

[D4nt4lion]

Hello, I tried to install fruum to use it for my existing website. Sadly it did not work.

I followed the installation instructions. When I start the setup npm start -- --setup

I get following error

error: [0] [setup] {"msg":"Incorrect HTTP method for uri [/fruum] and method [POST], 
allowed: [DELETE, PUT, HEAD, GET]","path":"/fruum","query":{},"body":"{\"settings\":{\"index\":
{\"number_of_shards\":1,\"number_of_replicas\":1}}}","statusCode":405,"response":"{\"error\":\"Incorrect
HTTP method for uri [/fruum] and method [POST], allowed: [DELETE, PUT, HEAD, GET]\",\"status\":405}"}

elasticsearch is up an running locally as far as I can tell. curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" localhost:9200 generates

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

I don't really understand the problem here.

Looks like elasticsearch API error. Can you please set the correct elastic API version at https://github.com/fruum/fruum/blob/master/config.json#L86 and try again? (have not tested it with ES 6.x)

Thank you for your answer.

Sadly I still get errors. API 6.3:

error: [applications] [setup] {"msg":"[mapper_parsing_exception] No handler for type [string] declared on
 field [id]","path":"/fruum/_mapping/apps","query":{},"body":"{\"apps\":{\"_all\":

[id]\"}],\"type\":\"mapper_parsing_exception\",\"reason\":\"No handler for type [string] declared on field
 [id]\"},\"status\":400}"}

API 6.2 and below:

error: [0] [setup] {"msg":"[resource_already_exists_exception] index [fruum/sOl3-rFHR0-wcaOx4JOQRQ] 
already exists, with { index_uuid=\"sOl3-rFHR0-wcaOx4JOQRQ\" & index=\"fruum\"}","path":"/fruum","query":{},"body":"{\"settings\":{\"index\":
{\"number_of_shards\":1,\"number_of_replicas\":1}}}","statusCode":400,"response":"{\"error\":
{\"root_cause\":[{\"type\":\"resource_already_exists_exception\",\"reason\":\"index [fruum/sOl3-rFHR0-
wcaOx4JOQRQ] already exists\",\"index_uuid\":\"sOl3-rFHR0-
wcaOx4JOQRQ\",\"index\":\"fruum\"}],\"type\":\"resource_already_exists_exception\",\"reason\":\"index 
[fruum/sOl3-rFHR0-wcaOx4JOQRQ] already exists\",\"index_uuid\":\"sOl3-rFHR0-
wcaOx4JOQRQ\",\"index\":\"fruum\"},\"status\":400}"}

pretty much all API Levels return different errors but none seem to work.

Thank you for the help. I did a second attempt and I manually installed version 2.4 of elasticsearch. Everything starts as it should do now. elasticsearch and fruum are running. I cant use it yet. The drawer does not show. But I suspect that it is due to a http -> https problem and caused by this line: src="http://localhost:3000/go/myhost"

Thanks for the input, I will investigate more recent versions of elasticsearch when I find some free time. ES is very aggressive on breaking changes on future releases, so it might need some extra workarounds to make it work.

Hello, I tried to install fruum recently and it seems there's an issue After following the installtion instructions - i run npm start and it shows its listening on port 3000 but when i open it in the browser i get Cannot GET /.

Could I ask if there's any updates here? It's 2019 and now latest Elasticsearch is 7.4.0.

[n1k0sv]

@kissge sorry about that, but due to personal matters I cannot keep up maintenance of the project. PRs are welcomed if anyone is interested in keeping this project up-to-date or would like to take it over.

[kissge]

Thank you for your prompt reply. I'm interested in this project, will think about it...
