quotr | A Node.js CLI for displaying stock exchange quotes | Runtime Evironment library

Bear with me I am still new to Linux. I have a web server that is trying to access a public folder under a users account.

I am running an nginx server that is trying to access the maintenance page within an applications shared public folder and receives permission denied errors.

I'm working on a fairly simple app that just display quotes.

All the source code can be viewed here:

I have some setup code in onCreate() that I wrote with the assumption that it would only be called once, but that seemingly isn't the case. I've ran into some bugs that turn out to be cause by the fact that every time a new activity is launched, my main activity's onCreate() function runs again.

I've Googled around and people claim that onCreate() should only be called once in the app's lifecycle, but I've added a Log.v in my onCreate and can clearly see it runs every time an activity is launched from it, which makes no sense. I've tried setting the launchMode to singleTop, my one activity ends with finish(), but that doesn't make a difference.
