I want to deploy strapi to a server managed with plesk.
I installed strapi in cli. Strapi itself also runs there but says that i should visit localhost:1337/admin
In Plesk a startup-file is needed. Strapi suggests a server.js with 2 lines of code in it
const strapi = require('strapi');
strapi(/* {...} */).start();
however, i exactly this. When i hit the NPM install button it also resolves everything without any problem. If i want to reach my site i get a error from Phusion Passenger
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'strapi'

}
How is it possible, that strapi is unknown? And how can i resolve?

Make sure you run
npm install
before trying to start the application.I don’t remember how to do this from the admin interface, but you can SSH into the server and run
<path-to-npm>/npm install
Just need to call the good node_module
@strapi/strapi
instead ofstrapi
