Missing modules

Parse Server 📡
1

Hi,

I used “npm start – /var/www/parse_server/config.json” to run the server. However, I got the following errors. How do I install the missing modules? Thanks

> node ./bin/parse-server "/var/www/parse_server/config.json"

  throw err;

It looks that the file /var/www/parse_server/config.json do not exist in your server. Did you create it?

Thanks for your reply. I tried to use inline parameters. It works. However, when I supply the parameters in config.json, it does not work. Yes, config.json is there. I also tried “npm start – config.json” and it does not work either. But I think it is fine if the config.json file does not work. I can always use inline parameter.

Try ./bin/parse-server path/to/configuration.json
