Looks like we finally (months later... :) ) got our npm replica running. We forgot to install the couchapps as documented on http://clock.co.uk/tech-blogs/how-to-create-a-private-npmjs-repository Once we did that, things seemed to go easier ( we were able to replicate to the latest without having to setup an admin user and a couple other hoops we tried earlier).
We also had to fix the secure_rewrites issue as documented at https://groups.google.com/d/topic/npm-/x1ha7x7zx5k/discussion (Isaac, it might be good to put that tip in the npmjs.org repo readme). That solved the "couchdb {"error":"insecure_rewrite_rule","reason":"too many ../.. segments"}" error we were getting. We were then able to install from our repo using npm --registry... etc. So thanks again for the help we've gotten in this list and at other places. The more info on running your own replica (and eventually, something like Artifactory?) the better. andy On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 12:45 AM, andy e <[email protected]> wrote: > After a lot of good advice in here, we eventually replicated a copy of the > npm repo (using couch 1.2.x and Windows - go figure). > > We finally stood it up in our private environment and had some problems. > > If we run 'npm --registry http://ourrepo.com/registry install Base64' it > will first resolve against our repo.
