🎉 SkyArtShop Project Fix Complete

Date: December 18, 2025
Status: ALL ISSUES RESOLVED
Server Status: 🟢 ONLINE on http://localhost:5000


🔍 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)

body('email')
  .isEmail()
  .trim()
  .escape()
  .withMessage('Valid email required') // ❌ WRONG: After .escape()

Correct Pattern (After Fix)

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

{
  "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": {

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:

{
  "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)

  • 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
