A user is trying to use pm2 to keep their Next.js application running on an apache server, but pm2 is not starting the application. The user is getting an error message that says "no process found". The user is not sure what the problem is and is asking for help.
The Solutions:
Solution 1: Run pm2 with sudo permissions as non-root user
To start pm2 as a non-root user, you can use the following steps:
First, run sudo su to switch to the root user.
Then, install pm2 globally using sudo npm install pm2 -g.
Once pm2 is installed, you can start your Next.js application using pm2 start npm --name "khulo" -- start.
This should start your Next.js application and keep it running even if you close your terminal window.
Solution 1: Fix the PM2 Command
The provided PM2 command has a syntax error. The correct syntax is:
pm2 start "npm run start" --name "khulo"
Ensure that the command is entered correctly, with the quotes enclosing the entire npm run start command.
