Hi there @heysuneel,

It sounds like that your Node.js version might be outdated. You can check this with the following command:

node -v

Starting from Node.js version 12.14.1, you should not get that error.

You could use NVM to install specific Node.js versions:

Let me know how it goes.

How To Run Multiple Versions of Node.js with Node Version Manager
by joshtronic
The Node Version Manager is a great tool to use, allowing you to install multiple versions of Node.js and switch between them as you see fit. In this tutorial, you will install `nvm` and learn to install, remove, and switch between different versions of Node.js.

      Hi there @heysuneel,

      Ah that is nice! The video is mainly explaining why the 502 error occurs. In your case it is the backend service that is having problems and the Nginx service seems to be configured correctly.

      I came the same Node.js problem being discussed here

      The main suggestion is to make sure your package.json includes a line for "type": "module". Without this line, node assumes you want to use Common JS modules rather than ESM.

      Let me know how this goes!
      Regards,
      Bobby

          Hello,

          Does it work locally on your dev environment? If so, what is the exact Node version that you have installed there?

          Regards,
          Bobby

            It works locally. The version is 14.5.1

            Also in server, if i run the server through node backend/server.js , it works.

            Regards,

            Hi there @heysuneel,

            I’ve taken a closer look into your log, it looks like that you are already using NVM. I think that the problem could be that the pm2 is using a different Node version than the one that you’ve specified with nvm which would explain the error in case that pm2 is using an older Node version binary.

            What you could try is to pass the path to the Node v14.15.5 binary when you run the pm2 command:

            pm2 start app.js --interpreter=/root/.nvm/versions/node/v14.15.5/bin/node

            Let me know how this goes!

            Regards,
            Bobby

            @bobbyiliev thank you it worked. I instead updated the pm2 to its latest version.
