cPanel Question posted in
The official documentation can be seen here.

Using the environment variable crashes the nodejs app – CPanel

The app runs on a shared server at namecheap. When I hardcode the env variable as a regular variable inside server.js like let MONGO_URL=blablabla the app works OK.

When i use process.env.MONGO_URL instead, it crashes. Any ideas why it is happening?

note: I have my env variable installed on node console of cpanel.

note2: The problem is not MONGO_URL, using process.env.PORT crashes the app too.

    Solved.

    Added to the server.js

    if (process.env.NODE_ENV != 'production') {
    require('dotenv').config(); 
  }

    And switched the app mode to "production". Now process.env works.

    is there process.env.MONGO_URL in list of variable that you installed on node console of cpanel?

    if it is not, put it on that list and try again
