Check nodejs status via admin/reports/status [patch attached]

Could you be more specific in how you fixed this "Node.js server: [-111] Connection refused" notice?

I'm having the same issue and would appreciate any explanation on how you fixed it...like when you say "nodejs backend" do you mean this module: Node.js Integration? As I have that module installed but i'm still having that problem.

Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same exact issue... any light on this yet? Any help would be appreciated

I am also having this problem. If any of you managed to resolve it, please post to this thread.

i have the same issue here.

Here's a little something.

I've used hook_requirements to make a call to the nodejs server and report back the response.

Works for me, nice job.

I'm new to drupal and nodejs. Can anyone explain me how to use this patch I'm having the same issue

I re-open this issue has the implementation can cause a fatal error depending of your install profile.

Here is the code I use, for not breaking the drupal install phase.

/**
 * Implements hook_requirements()
 */
function nodejs_requirements($phase) {
  $requirements = array();
  if ($phase == 'runtime') {

    $result = array();
    $requirements['nodejs'] = array(
      'title' => t('Node.js'),
      'description' => t('Can Drupal connect to the Node.js server?'),
    );

    // Initiate a call to the Nodejs server
    // and react to the response.
    $message = new StdClass;
    $response = Nodejs::sendMessage($message);

    // Nodejs::httpRequest() does the work for us. It will return FALSE if the
    // HTTP Request failed so we just check to see if that happened or not. If
    // There's a response, we can connect to the server.
    if ($response) {
      $result = array(
        'value' => t('The Node.js server was successfully reached.'),
        'severity' => REQUIREMENT_OK,
      );
    }
    // Http request to the server failed.
    else {
      $result = array(
        'value' => 'Error reaching the Node.js server. Enable HTTP error-logging and check the dblog page for more details',
        'severity' => REQUIREMENT_ERROR,
      );
    }

    // Merge the result from Nodejs
    $requirements['nodejs'] += $result;


  }
  return $requirements;
}

just return something, when the phase aren't 'runtime'.

check in the api, the hook requirements must return at least an empty array :
