Fresh install of Virtualmin Pro on a fail over server on a CentOS 7 VPS account. I have a website that only has Node.js in the root, the app is the default installed, it runs when I install it, but fails to start after a reboot. I have this working on a CentOS 6 VPS, I backed it up and restored it to a CentOS 7 VPS, it runs fine until reboot, then it does not start again. I uninstalled node.js and reinstalled it, same thing, so I delete the Virtual Server and reinstalled Node.js, same thing. Nothing in the log files except: ap\_proxy\_connect\_backend disabling worker for (localhost) for 60s I enabled MySql and it seems to have gone away. I noticed in the Services -\> Configure Website Directives that it uses mongrel like Ruby, is this starting the node.js like “forever”? What is starting the app on start up is what I need to determine to troubleshoot this, not sure where to start, I am new to Node.js, not Javascript, but this is something to do with how it starts up, and since it works on CentOS 6, I am wondering if this is a CentOS 7 problem. Any idea where to start looking? ---
