Failed to start and connect to local ccdaservice server on port 6661

juggernautsei · April 5, 2022, 3:48pm

Ok, some history is due here. I have an instance that started off life as v4.2.0.
We made the leap from that version to v6.0.0(4). The program is heavily modified (but not core).
Last weekend we made the leap to v6.1.0.

Ubuntu 18.04
Apache 2.4x
MySQL 14.14
AWS

After entering the missing table columns and setting the config in the globals. In the error log I see this message.

  Failed to start and connect to local ccdaservice server on port 6661

This is a WTF (what the fun, we are having!) moment.
I compared the setting against the demo version and there are no ports set.
So, I dug through the code and found the serveccda.js where the port is being listened to.

The ufw is inactive. What could be blocking the communications on the localhost?

Scan to see if the port is being held open by something else --something else on the machine might’ve claimed 6661?

adunsulag · April 5, 2022, 4:07pm

Can you manually start the ccda service from the command line? I’d isolate that first and figure out if its something on the node side or something on php being unable to call out to the node service.

juggernautsei · April 5, 2022, 4:35pm

How do I start the service?
How do I know the service is running?
There is no documentation on how to start the service manually.

I un-commented debug. Reading this ran the npm i- production and still says it cannot connect.

# About
This module/service will provide the necessary template engine to create a Patient Summary CCD.
CCD's can be generated from the Onsite Patient Portal or the Carecoordination Module.
## Prepare
* If not already completed, you must install/initialize the CCM features by going to the Modules->Manage Modules top menu then click Unregistered tab and install the necessary components.
* Add any appropriate settings like granting Access Control for the appropriate users. Menu item: Modules->Manage Modules->Access Control->General->Care Coordination.
* Ensure all appropriate fields are populated in Modules->Manage Modules Settings tab such as Author, Primary Care Provider and so forth.
* Ignore any errors that do not throw you back to command prompt when using npm install as some libs need to be compiled and is verbose about it.
## Updating
Whenever there are new versions or updates, be sure to navigate into the ccdaservice directory and run:
- npm i --production

This will ensure the lastest libraries are installed.
## Ubuntu Setup
* Latest version tested is node v14.0

If node is not already installed then do the following:
- cd ~
- apt-get remove --purge nodejs npm // Ensures clean install and will allow chance to cleanup.
- curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -

I navigated to the folder and ran node serviceccda.js
I then entered the program and click on a patient and got this

ccda.txt (2.3 KB)

My node version is 12.18.2.

Ok, if I manually start the service I can print out a CCDA.

I needed to comment out //Debug. That is what was giving me the other error in the text file.

PeteBoyd · April 6, 2022, 8:35am

I’m no expert on this, am just learning about CCDA myself but have gotten it working.

Why is it you’re using Node.js version 12? The OpenEMR documentation recommends installing it from upstream and says it’s tested with version version 14. Node.js version 12 is end-of-life on 2022-04-30 where as version 14 is end-of-life on 2023-04-30.

Did you run “npm init” before running “npm install --production”?

Are you using “npm install --production” with or without sudo?
OpenEMR’s ccdaservice README.md recommends using sudo but in reading around I’ve found people recommending not doing so, so I’m currently not.

Are you using “AllowOverride FileInfo” in the Apache config?

juggernautsei · April 6, 2022, 9:32am

Pete,
thanks for joining the conversation. This is not a new install. This is a migration that has lots of modifications that required me to redo the modification from a previous version 4.2.0 into v6. I started back when version 6.0.0 was released. I have to migrate a little code at a time see what breaks and fix it. I have not read the new documentation on which version of npm the system should be using. Thanks for the info =^).
I will upgrade the npm on the server. I brought up the server last year and when version 12 of npm was fine. Every suggestions helps get me closer to the solution.

juggernautsei · April 6, 2022, 10:35am

I ran the command to remove nodejs. The results are that node version stays the same.

It should be working but it is not. I am going to reboot the server as a last resort.

Sherwin delete the ccdaservice directory. replace ccdaservice directory from install zip.
Now npm -install. I believe node 16 works and is what we use on demo farm.

Also using -production is no longer needed.

juggernautsei · April 6, 2022, 11:52am

I removed and replaced the directory with the one from the install zip. Ran the npm i command. Here are the results.

Not so fast. When I select a patient chart. The new tab opens and just swirls. Never loads. It just goes in circles. I am getting dizzy.

sjpadgett · April 6, 2022, 11:57am

congrates you are now the proud owner of a healthy new ccda baby boy!

sjpadgett · April 6, 2022, 12:02pm

what that have to do with ccda? also you may have an old node process running from testing. try start service from command line or reboot.

juggernautsei · April 6, 2022, 12:15pm

Upgrading old systems is the pits sometimes. Here is what happened after the reboot.

I’ve seen that recently. I seem to remember that it’s not an issue though; I’m looking for it in my notes…
Are you still generating a downloadable CCDA?

juggernautsei · April 6, 2022, 12:34pm

Where do I do that? I looked in the Reports and the CCDA has been removed from there.
