Chatplus installation errors

I decided to start a new thread regarding installing Chat+ as it was getting a little messy.

Basically I managed to get to the following command before an error occured:

https://github.com/boonex/dolphin.pro/wiki/ChatPlus-Installation-Instructions-(Ubuntu-with-Apache)

node main.js

The error below shows:

rmsuser@vps321288:~/bundle$ sudo node main.js

/home/rmsuser/bundle/programs/server/node_modules/fibers/future.js:280

                                                throw(ex);

                                                ^

rmsuser@vps321288:~/bundle$

And when I run: sudo ./start.sh

I get the following error.

MongoError: failed to connect to server [localhost:27017] on first connect

you need to set your mongo info and stuff, also, do not sudo node main.js - just "node main.js"

 run these in your cli - cahnge items in red to fit your needs:

export ROOT_URL=http://your-domain.com:3000/

export MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/rocketchat

export PORT=3000

export ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com

export ADMIN_PASS=admin_password

Thanks Professor, much appreciated but in the end I had to get it installed by Nathan.

Apologies for wasting your time but I did learn a little on the way.

So thanks again for your valued input.

The instructions for Ubuntu are still half-arsed and that is why you probably could not do it.  I pointed this out to Alex but he has yet to fix it.  You can do better by following the CentOS instructions and just know the differences between Ubuntu and CentOS.  I am not going to fix the Ubuntu instructions because I am not on Boonex's payroll

Thanks Geekgirl, I agree and realized through the process that it wasnt complete for somone like me on a learning curve. Second time I mixed and matched but didnt fully understand the architecture/background so although I got further it still frigged up. 3rd time Nathan did it. Its running great now. I just need to lean how to do it.

Disappointed there isn't a fullscreen option though? Boxed like the flashchat it is just too small and needs constant scrolling to keep it on screen. I may have to creat a menu item that links straight to the chat url although I would sooner not.

Thanks to you and rofessor for your assistance. I came out a little more learned. Thanks.

There is full-screen mode already:
