Call Demonize and SSL

[Marco_Cremaschi]

Hello,
I’m trying to get working a small webapp demonized with SSL on Ubuntu server.
For SSL I’ve perfectly executed what described on this document.

I run the app with command ./MyApp --secureport=8181

If the app run NOT demonized all works perfectly and I can connect to it on port 8181.
If the app run as demonized (“Call Demonize” on app.opening) the app don’t answer on port 8181.

NETSTAT reveal to me that the process is listening on port 1

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2444/MyApp

How it’s possible and how can I get it work correctly as demonized app on the port I chose?

Check this thread and see if it helps.

StandAlone ARM/Pi Web App won't Daemonize

Having great success compiling and running WebApps on Linux RPi. However, I want to Daemonize the app to run after terminal closes - and the “Call Daemonize” function (App.Open) won’t compile. I get the following error: “This item does not exist” http://developer.xojo.com/running-a-standalone-web-app-in-the-background Looking for advice - appreciate your help!

I am solving this kind of issue via a Linux Service. Easier to build than on Windows for instance, at least in terms that it will restart automatically after any failure.

Creating a Linux service with systemd

Something along these lines:

[Unit]
Description=TheBestXojoAppEver Service

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=4
User=yourlinuxusertoruntheapp
ExecStart=/var/www/html/xojo/yourXojoApp --secureport=8181

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Of course change Description, User, ExecStart path to your values!

Interesting workaround. I will try it as soon as possible.

So, the “Call Demonized” declaration don’t work as expected with SSl and is better to avoid it?

Thanks,
Marco

Honestly, I don’t know. I have been using services for all kind of things. So I only did the same for my Xojo Web Apps to start them automatically after any fail, and never looked at any possible aternatives, of course the service will as well start after a reboot etc.
