Change of directory with node.js

Question

Hello then I state that something very strange happens to me, which had never happened to me. So I have a node.js application that runs perfectly on a centos server! Once the application has been loaded on the server, boot with node server.js and everything is working on perfection! As a reboot I set a cron to start the server node with this syntax:

**@reboot node /var/www/html/app/main.js**

the problem is that when I restart the machine the cron starts correctly node.js but when I have to do the change of directory below I have this error:

Node.js Code:

process.chdir('./Model');

Directory Tree:

/var/www/html/app

/var/www/html/app/main.js

/var/www/html/app/Model

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, uv_chdir

Answer 1

Please refer to this question .

Just adding a node command in cron won't work. You need to do cd into your project root dir and execute node command.

Answer 2

What is current working directory of your process? Try console.log( Starting directory: ${process.cwd()} ); to see if it is /var/www/html/app.
