Technical Support

@pummelchen Thanks for the response.
Ok for the solution, but If that's true, it's still strange behavior. My forum is in a test period so indeed it doesn't have much traffic, but I come by at least once a day to see just how frequent the error is. It means that if we go on vacation and nobody visits our forum for a few days, when we get back all the owners of a forum under nodeBB have chances to see this error? That's annoying.

I got it working

with now nodebb 1.9.3 it's possible. wonderful !

@dravere Thankyou. That worked. Configuring my forum now. NodeBB looks solid. Will update when it is live.

@dravere I think the bug only happened if the user's system time was off.

Well you could maybe use a javascript: link.

Other way would be that nodebb can handle ldap integration out of the box...That would be damn awesome!

Heheh... unfortunately for you that won't happen because not everybody wants or needs LDAP integration, so we encourage the use of plugins so that a NodeBB can be customised to the exact needs of the admin.

Thats great but ldap plugin seems to be outdated, no one answers for issue on github, so development somehow has been stopped and local users can't be used at the moment.

There is the traffic management settings and the option to set the threshold for the event loop lag. Under the value you can set there is a short help text that confuses me a bit:

Lowering this value decreases wait times for page loads, but will also show the "excessive load" message to more users.

Why does lowering of this value decrease wait times for page loads? I went through the code and I didn't feel like this value would change anything in regards to the page load time. What am I missing?

Yet the dbsearch doesn't support non-Roman alphabet languages for some reason

You can try the NodeBB plugin for Solr search (open source), that supports a large number of languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, etc. See step by step details.

I run into the same issue with nginx without any Cloudfare rules set for the forum and without any CDN active, so the webserver serves content directly.

Fix:

NodeBB
config.json

There should be no forward slash at the end which complies with the documentation:

nginx.conf

here note the double slash on the first line /forum/

The double slash solves the issue, at least during initial testing on different browsers and devices.
Not sure if this is a Windows/nginx specific thing as the path's are set a bit different.

Hi

I m trying the Nodebb free trial . Love the forums.

Could you please help with basic set up for dev on windows, like what javascript IDE I should use and repository set up etc.

I haven't done proper development for so many years, last IDE I used was eclipse I guess

I want to override some stuff, like Changing text 'New topic' to 'Submit'

I understand plugin the only way to do as I m on nodebb cloud ?

Also how do I install my own plugins ?

Hope I can get some help with these, thanks much for your time

Thanks guys!

👏 Well done, that's some thorough investigating @Dravere !

@pitaj Ah. Then I guess that was what happened for me.

This is when you rebuild from the ACP, right? What if you just rebuild with ./nodebb build

thanks its very useful

Thank you so much @baris and @yariplus - will give both options a try 😉

@RikoDEV

You do not want to run NodeBB using sudo because this causes NodeBB to be run via the root user. This superuser has complete access to the entire system and should NodeBB ever become compromised, then a malicious user can utilise NodeBB as an attack vector to take over your system.

Secondary effects from running NodeBB under sudo include the changing of ownership of some files to root, which would complicate administration of your NodeBB further as future starts of NodeBB will fail with an EACCES error, simply because some files could not be written to, as they are now owned by root instead of the regular user!

Best practice security recommends running NodeBB with as few privileges as possible (ideally, nobody:nogroup), but practically an unprivileged user is perfectly fine.

By the way, this also means running NodeBB as a user that has sudo access is also insecure. Just some food for thought.

Persona version is a little different from other plugins, it is fixed to your version of NodeBB. If you update your NodeBB, you should also get the newer Persona version.
