Error Running Test Script

[Former user]

I have gotten everything installed for Node and used npm to download the toolkit. I then created a script to test this code: // // Show how to connect to DB2 for i from Node.js //

var http = require('http') var db = require('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/os400/db2i/lib/db2')

var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) { db.init() db.conn("*LOCAL") db.exec("SELECT LSTNAM, STATE FROM QIWS.QCUSTCDT", function(rs) { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}) res.end(JSON.stringify(rs)) }) db.close() })

server.listen(8002) var host = server.address().address var port = server.address().port console.log('Example app listening at http://%s:%s', host, port)

and received the following errors: Error: 0509-022 Cannot load module /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/os400/db2i/bin/db2i.node. 0509-103 The module has an invalid magic number.

Clearly we non-magical folks have no knowledge of a magic number. What's a muggle to do?

Looking at the below line of code tells us you're using the oldest version of Node.js that is no longer supported on IBM i.

var http = require('http') var db = require('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/os400/db2i/lib/db2')

You'll want to install the latest version using:

yum install nodejs10
