Using ngrok with React based websites

The problem :

When we have a react.js based site (hosted on port 8000) and ngrok it for development purposes we get

Invalid Host Header 

The fix is to override the header on reflection:

ngrok http 8000 -host-header="localhost:8000"

 

That’s it

Nginx setting to allow wss sockets to connect

General idea of the config

https + proxy pass + virtual host

Nginx as a proxy causes a failure of wss:// connections to the backend server.

add these parameters to the proxy section :

 

proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection “upgrade”;
proxy_set_header Host $host;

Voila’  !!!

OS doesn’t find en_US.UTF-8

test :

perl -e exit

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
    LC_ALL = (unset),
    LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

 

Paste the following or add to server bash.rc :

export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_TYPE=en_US.UTF-8
