Contact form connection refused when trying to submit

Topic: Contact form connection refused when trying to submit

suxxez free asked 6 years ago

Hello, I am trying to follow this guide for a contact form in my angular application. However, when I press the SEND button, I get this error message in Chrome: OPTIONS http://localhost:3000/send net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED I'm not posting any code snippets because it's pretty much exactly like in the guide. Anybody knows why that happens? In the server.js I start up the express server on port 3000, so why does it say connection refused? Thank you.

Dear suxxez, I have tried to reproduce your problem both on Chrome and Firefox on Ubuntu, but for me, everything was working fine. Please check, if you have filled-up server.js files with the necessary information: lines 14 and 15 - login and password for mailbox from which you want to send emails, and line 40 - email on which users can reply to you. Also please check, if you have added FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule, and BrowserAnimationsModule in your app.module.ts file Best Regards, Damian

Hello, so I just found the problem. I had to start the server in the terminal with "node server.js". Can I somehow implement that into my main program, so that it gets started automatically when I run "ng serve"?

Dear suxxez,

You can define the new script in package.json, like "run", and place there node server.js and ng serve commands.

This script would look like this one: "run": "node server.js && ng serve"

Best Regards,

Damian

Hi Damian Gemza, I try to define the script in my package.json but I cannot solve the error.

"scripts": { "ng": "ng", "start": "ng serve", "build": "ng build", "test": "ng test", "lint": "ng lint", "run": "node server.js && ng serve", "e2e": "ng e2e" },

What am I doing wrong?
