🎉 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",

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)
- 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
