Error when installing notification server
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

I've been trying to setup the notification server following the instructions posted here: https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabricator/article/notifications/, but cannot get past this error. Google-ing turns up very little and every suggesting I could find didn't fix the problem. Ignoring this and continuing with the setup yields no further errors, but the notification status is "Disabled" in my notifications drop down.

We haven't seen this problem with npm before, so I can only offer vague advice -- are your node and npm up to date? Does installing other modules with npm work? You may have better luck filing against npm.

I'm turning up some similar-ish issues by Googling, but also nothing particularly useful. Here's the output I get on one of our servers:

Hmmmm, is there a difference between node and nodejs? I can't seem to get a version from node.

sparker@cricket:/var/www/phabricator/phabricator$ npm -v
1.3.10
sparker@cricket:/var/www/phabricator/phabricator$ node -v
sparker@cricket:/var/www/phabricator/phabricator$ nodejs -v
v0.10.25

Ok, so I just removed node, and then added a symlink from nodejs to node and it installed correctly. Not entirely sure what node was or why it was there. Perhaps in your script you might look to use nodejs first and then node if not there? Or maybe I just have a screwed up system.

Well, it still says disconnected in my notification panel even though I see the notifications being added to the log and I don't have an unresolved setup issue, but at least it installed correctly. I'll keep debugging around and see if I can figure out why. Thanks for the help.

Boom. Firewall. I'll stop spamming you now.
