server.js

Keywords: Parse - AWS - Technical issue - Credentials
Description:
I am following a tutorial to build an android app. So the app has to connect to the Bitnami Parse server and it needs applicationId, clientKey and server as per the below java function call which I'm supposed to fetch from /opt/bitnami/apps/parse/htdocs/server.js
Parse.initialize(new Parse.Configuration.Builder(getApplicationContext())
.applicationId("")
.clientKey("")
.server("")
.build()
);

But I am unable to find this file
/opt/bitnami/apps/parse/htdocs/server.js
On checking the 'apps' directory itself isn't available within /opt/bitnami. So from where can I take the above required id, key and server names?

Hello @preethjusthere,

You can find this info in /opt/bitnami/parse/config.json/

I hope it helps

Hi! Thanks for your reply! Found the credentials here and my android app was able to connect to the server (I assume).
One more question, I tried to open my Parse dashboard at 18.216.248.127. Used the steps in this page. https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/faq/get-started/find-credentials/#option-1-find-password-by-checking-the-system-log-on-the-aws-cloud-console-ec2
Username: user
Password: got it from the System log
When I hit Login, it says 'form tampered with'. How can I access the Parse Dashboard?

Hello @preethjusthere,

You can also check your credentials by accessing your instance via SSH. There, execute:

cat /home/bitnami/bitnami_credentials

Hi David!
Yes thanks. I have used the right credentials but still unable to sign in to the Parse dashboard at 18.216.248.127

After I login this screen "Parse Dashboard" comes up and it is blank.. url is http://18.216.248.127/apps/MyDashboard/browser

Please help me understand how to view my Parse dashboard. Thanks!

Hey David,

/opt/bitnami/parse/config.json/ is not working for me unfortunately it says "No a directory". Can you please help me out on this?

I also tried:

cd /opt/bitnami/parse/config.json/
/opt/bitnami/parse/htdocs/config.json/
and none of these seems to work.

Thank you in advance!

Hi!

Try
vi /opt/bitnami/parse/config.json
vi is the text editor command that lets us view a file. This worked for me. Hope it helps!

Hi,

Yes, adding that / at the end makes the interpreter to think it is a directory. Thanks @preethjusthere for helping

Best regards,

Hi Javier/David!

I still need help with my above open question - Unable to view Parse dashboard even after signing in. Please help!

TIA!!

Its goes through however what I'm trying to change is my application.Id and clientKey (I'm also using AWS).

I've tried:

/opt/bitnami/apps/parse/htdocs/server.js
cd apps/parse/htdocs/
aren't working.

Thank you again!

Hey @preethjusthere. It seems that you were able to log in but you got a blank screen. Do you see any error in the Chrome Developer Inspector?

And @mrchevalerioinc could you try this command?

sudo nano /opt/bitnami/parse/config.json

Hope it helps.Best regards,

Javier J. Salmerón

I am following a tutorial that ask me to get server.js from /opt/bitnami/apps/parse/htdocs/ directory but I couldnt find the either the directory or the file. Is the file server.js has been replaced by config.json? If yes, could i just add parameter in the json file to configure the server?

davidg 2020-04-14 09:43:00 UTC #15

Hello @RyanLim1992,

Yes, now the main JSON file is /opt/bitnami/parse/config.json. /opt/bitnami/apps is no longer present for ghost. You could modify it as you like. It is recommended to save a copy just to be able to recover the previous state.

I hope it helps

Hi Javier!

I'm trying to open the parse dashboard in a Safari browser window. After I enter the credentials, I get a blank screen and when I click on Inspect element, attached is what I get. Please let me know if this helps to resolve this issue.

Hi @preethjusthere,

Did you install any plugins, themes or change any configuration files? Or is it a fresh instance?

Regards,
Michiel
