Rocket Chat on CentOS 7

Reid Cooper

What does netstat -tulpn return?

Reid Cooper

On CentOS 7, no netstat in the standard install. you'll need yum install net-tools first.

That means that the Rocket Chat server isn't running. Or it is on a different port. That is a lot of ports that you have open there.

@Reid-Cooper its a VM, just testing

Is SELinux enabled? If so you may have to do the SELinux magic. I think @JaredBusch helped me last time with it.

@coliver
Looks disabled.

The command to check the SELinux running state is getenforce

Definitely off, then.

Any error when you try to start the Rocket.Chat service?

alex.olynyk

@StrongBad

Cant find it

StrongBad

Well that would do it Are you sure that that is how it is supposed to be launched? Isn't this a Node application? Often those are launched differently.

Don't node applications do the whole npm start thing?

Normally. But that could be registered with the systemctl system. So it could be both. But you would expect the npm process as part of the node culture.
