Wikimedia with Parsoid 0.4.0 doesn't start or doesn't connect properly with nodejs - parsoid

Question

I have parsoid 0.4.0 from mediawiki, nodejs v0.10.25, when I /etc/init.d/parsoid start, I receive workers restarting having the next messages in the parsoid.log, this message is repeated indefinitely, making my parsoid.log growing indefinitely, another hand I don't recerive any response at http://localhost:8142, 8142 is the port where my parsoid says is serving when I start with "/etc/init.d/parsoid start with the output message:
root#vscj016mlinuxserver:/usr/lib# /etc/init.d/parsoid start
Started Parsoid server on port 8142
root#vscj016mlinuxserver:/usr/lib#
/var/log/parsoid.log output :

On another hand I can see de processes started with "ps -ef | grep parsoid", de pids of the processes change everytime as you can see with the next output like:

I show the /etc/mediawiki/parsoid/settings.js aswell:
exports.setup = function(parsoidConfig) {
// Set your own user-agent string
// Otherwise, defaults to "Parsoid/<current-version-defined-in- package.json>"
//parsoidConfig.userAgent = "My-User-Agent-String";
// The URL of your MediaWiki API endpoint.
parsoidConfig.setMwApi('localhost', {uri: 'http://localhost/mediawiki/api.php'} );
// To specify a proxy (or proxy headers) specific to this prefix (which
// overrides defaultAPIProxyURI) use:
/*
parsoidConfig.setMwApi('localhost', {
uri: 'http://localhost/w/api.php',
// set `proxy` to `null` to override and force no proxying.
proxy: {
uri: 'http://my.proxy:1234/',
headers: { 'X-Forwarded-Proto': 'https' } // headers are optional
}
});
*/

Answer 1

You're going to have a much better time with a newer version of Node, for example >=4.3. You can use NVM to run manage different versions of Node: https://github.com/creationix/nvm

Answer 2

this my /etc/mediawiki/parsoid configuration:
exports.setup = function(parsoidConfig) {
// Set your own user-agent string
// Otherwise, defaults to "Parsoid/<current-version-defined-in- package.json>"
//parsoidConfig.userAgent = "My-User-Agent-String";
// The URL of your MediaWiki API endpoint.
parsoidConfig.setMwApi('localhost', { uri: 'http://localhost/mediawiki/api.php' });
// To specify a proxy (or proxy headers) specific to this prefix (which
// overrides defaultAPIProxyURI) use:
/*
parsoidConfig.setMwApi('localhost', {
uri: 'http://localhost/w/api.php',
// set `proxy` to `null` to override and force no proxying.
proxy: {
uri: 'http://my.proxy:1234/',
headers: { 'X-Forwarded-Proto': 'https' } // headers are optional
}
});
*/

This is my parsoid configuration , I don't Know if this is the problema:
exports.setup = function(parsoidConfig) {
// Set your own user-agent string
// Otherwise, defaults to "Parsoid/<current-version-defined-in- package.json>"
//parsoidConfig.userAgent = "My-User-Agent-String";
// The URL of your MediaWiki API endpoint.
parsoidConfig.setMwApi('localhost', { uri: 'http://localhost/mediawiki/api.php' });
// To specify a proxy (or proxy headers) specific to this prefix (which
// overrides defaultAPIProxyURI) use:
/*
parsoidConfig.setMwApi('localhost', {
uri: 'http://localhost/w/api.php',
// set `proxy` to `null` to override and force no proxying.
proxy: {
uri: 'http://my.proxy:1234/',
headers: { 'X-Forwarded-Proto': 'https' } // headers are optional
}
});
