scopserv-api-v3 won't start or crashes on startup SCOPLINK connection refused: Request failed with status code 503

If you are seeing this error it is possible that the one or more api services are not running correctly.

Root Cause:

scopserv-api-v3 won't start or crashes on startup

To check the status of the api-v3 service, check the unique http path.

https://yourdomain.com:5555/api/docs/

 

To check the status of the api-events service check the unique path.

https://yourdomain.com:5555/api-events/docs/

If api-v3 is not running then:

rm -rf /usr/local/nvm/

This remove all "remaining" files which included a node.js 10 version which ScopSERV no longer supports.

service scopserv_api_v3 restart

Then check with:

pm2 status

Or

pm2 restart scopserv-apiv3
