Production Runs (For CMS Backend)

Checking the Console Server Output

To check the status, memory and other get logs from the application when the server is running in production, run npm run pm2 monit.

Stopping the Server

To stop the server, run npm run pm2 kill. This will stop all the running processes for the cms. If still some node processes are left, run killall node.

Checking Error Logs

If the application has stopped or you want to check for errors, visit the cms folder and then visit the LOGS folder.

You will find the different server log files, and you can open and then check for the log.

Updating Packages

Since we are using yarn for installing packages, we need to install the latest yarn packages for the same.

It is necessary and important to update the packages when there is major release (or at least every 6 months). For example, there can be major release of next.js every year and you will need to update the version

Refer the following for upgrading the package(s):

• https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/upgrade/
