Technical Support

Hello, welcome to NodeBB!

NodeBB will run perfectly fine on node versions as low as 0.10, there is maybe only a very smaller number of third-party plugins that may require node 4.

You have installed a Node Version Manager called n which does indeed make it easy to change node versions. n does this by copying the files from it's directory to /usr/bin/ when you use it's commands. The reason you had to do this manually probably has to do with a permissions issue.

You are running all your commands as sudo, when none of them should be run with sudo, this can cause permissions issues and is possibly a security risk. Unfortunately, it may be too late to correct this problem. Next time, check here if you run into any issues when not using sudo.

@yariplus Damn, I noobishly had it setup with local but using my Mailgun smtp. I just changed it and the test account which would not receive the p/w recovery email now gets it. Thanks!

@pichalite
Which one?

Every time I restart nodebb, the site will down for about 3 minutes. At first I doubted that the nodebb may have some thing to initialize.
Then I found that even if if restart nginx(not reload), this issue may also occur.

During this 3 minutes, the mongodb and 3 node process eat 100% CPU and most of the memory. The 3 minutes depends on the machine, 2core-4G machine will take 3 minutes and 4core-8G machine will take 1 minutes.

I wonder what was nodebb doing during that time?

@HolyPhoenix you can't do that without modifying code. It's not a feature that would be useful for others either to be included in core.

You should found cookie on your browse with name "express.sid" and delete it.

Not really, those happen if you try to process a registration or login with a used csrf token (csrf tokens are lost if the server restarts, by the way).

We're a humble bunch 😄

I have created a Dockerfile and docker-compose yml file to bring up my forum based commodity institute -- currently locate at forum.bamboosnow.com (pre-alpha as of July 21, 2016)

create NodeBB with Mongo in dockable form for AWS EC2 - jahbini/nodebb-docker-aws

GitHub (github.com)

You have enabled MongoDB auth settings + given the right password.

security.authorization must be enabled in mongodb. This must be an auth only issue!

More info: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/enable-authentication/

@pichalite Thanks buddy

@julian it's woking now, thank you so much 😉

Thanks, that seems to work!

I'm switching from Mandrill to Amazon SES. There is an option to send using SMTP.

I wasn't able to find an up-to-date version of the Amazon SES plugin that works with NodeBB >= 1.

Similarly, based on the Git issues, it looks like the emailer-local and emailer-ssl-smtp plugins also aren't compatible?

What are you guys using for SMTP?

I'm having the same issue!

If anyone has any experience with this, it would be really helpful.

@yariplus

Thank you. I'll try this out.

Edit: Worked perfectly! Thank you again.

@bernatixer have a look at:

Deploy NodeBB in a subfolder of a site https://community.nodebb.org/post/43630

Hope it helps.

Hihi, i'm going to migrate the Ghost-Blog's topics to my new Nodebb site, there are dozens of topics, and i use the nodebb-plugin-blog-comments to move the topic to the Nodebb site, and my question is : How to map the old Ghost-Blog topic's url to the new Nodebb topic's route ?

For example:

I wish that the nodebb can redirect the old Ghost-Blog's topics url to the new nodebb's topics url, when the users browser the old Ghost-Blog's urls~

Please help, many many thanks~ @julian @psychobunny @baris @pichalite

Best of luck with the forum, @CatchThemAll! It's not released in Canada yet 😦

You likely need to restart your NodeBB. Also ensure you clear your browser cache so it does not load the same favicon from before.
