# 🎉 SkyArtShop Project Fix Complete **Date:** December 18, 2025 **Status:** ✅ ALL ISSUES RESOLVED **Server Status:** 🟢 ONLINE on --- ## 🔍 Root Cause Analysis ### Issue Identified Server was in crash loop (16 restarts) due to syntax errors in `backend/middleware/validators.js` ### Technical Details - **Error:** `TypeError: Cannot set properties of undefined (setting 'message')` - **Location:** Line 90 of validators.js - **Cause:** express-validator v7.0.1 requires `.withMessage()` to be called **immediately after** validation methods (e.g., `.isEmail()`, `.isLength()`), NOT after sanitization methods like `.trim()` or `.escape()` ### Incorrect Pattern (Before Fix) ```javascript body('email') .isEmail() .trim() .escape() .withMessage('Valid email required') // ❌ WRONG: After .escape() ``` ### Correct Pattern (After Fix) ```javascript body('email') .isEmail() .withMessage('Valid email required') // ✅ CORRECT: After .isEmail() .trim() .escape() ``` --- ## 🛠️ Fixes Applied ### 1. Validator Chain Corrections Fixed all 8 validator groups in `backend/middleware/validators.js`: - ✅ **loginValidation** - Email and password validators - ✅ **createUserValidation** - User registration (username, email, password, role) - ✅ **updateUserValidation** - User profile updates - ✅ **createProductValidation** - Product creation (name, description, price, category) - ✅ **updateProductValidation** - Product editing - ✅ **createBlogPostValidation** - Blog post creation - ✅ **idParamValidation** - Route parameter validation - ✅ **paginationValidation** - Query parameter validation ### 2. Server Restart - Restarted PM2 process with `pm2 restart skyartshop --update-env` - Server now stable with PID 68465 --- ## ✅ Verification Results ### Server Status ``` Status: 🟢 online Port: 5000 PID: 68465 Uptime: Stable (no more crashes) Restarts: 16 (all before fix) Memory: 45.7 MB ``` ### Health Endpoint Response ```json { "status": "ok", "timestamp": "2025-12-18T23:16:21.004Z", "uptime": 9.480140102, "database": { "healthy": true, "database": "skyartshop", "timestamp": "2025-12-18T23:16:21.003Z" }, "memory": { "used": 22, "total": 34 } } ``` ### Security Headers (Helmet) All security headers are now active: - ✅ Content-Security-Policy - ✅ Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy - ✅ Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy - ✅ Strict-Transport-Security - ✅ X-Content-Type-Options - ✅ X-Frame-Options - ✅ X-XSS-Protection ### Winston Logging Logs are being created in `backend/logs/`: - `combined.log` - All logs (2.4 KB and growing) - `error.log` - Error logs only (empty - no errors!) Example log entry: ```json { "level": "info", "message": "Request received", "method": "GET", "path": "/health", "ip": "127.0.0.1", "service": "skyartshop", "timestamp": "2025-12-18 17:16:20" } ``` ### Port Analysis ``` Port 5000: ✅ SkyArtShop (PM2 - This Project) Port 8080: ⚪ Church_HOP_MusicData backend (Different Project) Port 5100: ⚪ Church_HOP_MusicData frontend (Different Project) ``` **Conclusion:** SkyArtShop is **ONLY using port 5000** as required. Other ports belong to different projects. --- ## 🔒 Security Features Active All security implementations from the comprehensive audit are now operational: ### 1. Rate Limiting (3 Tiers) - **Strict:** 5 requests/15 min (auth endpoints) - **Moderate:** 20 requests/15 min (API endpoints) - **Lenient:** 100 requests/15 min (general) ### 2. Input Validation - All 8 validator groups working correctly - SQL injection protection - XSS prevention via sanitization ### 3. Error Handling - Centralized error handler - No stack traces in production - Detailed logging for debugging ### 4. Database Security - Transaction support with automatic rollback - Parameterized queries only - Connection pooling (max 20 connections) ### 5. File Upload Security - MIME type validation - File size limits (10 MB) - Secure file storage in `/uploads` ### 6. Session Security - Secure session cookies - HttpOnly flag enabled - SESSION_SECRET from .env (64 hex chars) ### 7. Logging - Winston with rotation (10 MB, 5 files) - Request/response logging - Security event tracking ### 8. Graceful Shutdown - Signal handlers for SIGTERM/SIGINT - Connection cleanup - Process exit code 0 --- ## 📊 Project Structure ``` SkyArtShop/ ├── backend/ │ ├── server.js ✅ Main application (ONLINE) │ ├── package.json ✅ Dependencies updated │ ├── .env ✅ Secure configuration │ ├── config/ │ │ ├── database.js ✅ PostgreSQL connection │ │ └── logger.js ✅ Winston logging │ ├── middleware/ │ │ ├── auth.js ✅ Authentication │ │ ├── errorHandler.js ✅ Error handling │ │ └── validators.js ✅ FIXED: All validators working │ ├── routes/ │ │ ├── admin.js ✅ Admin panel routes │ │ ├── auth.js ✅ Login/logout │ │ ├── public.js ✅ Public pages │ │ ├── upload.js ✅ File uploads │ │ └── users.js ✅ User management │ └── logs/ │ ├── combined.log ✅ All logs │ └── error.log ✅ Error logs ├── website/ │ ├── admin/ ✅ Admin interface │ │ ├── dashboard.html │ │ ├── products.html │ │ ├── blog.html │ │ └── ...
