@baris @julian these guys are awesome and the most helpful team ever! Thanks!

We are trying our best to support node bb and take it to next level.

What is not working? Are you receiving an error? Are there any errors in the nodebb log file?

Thanks for the super fast reply!

@guts I meant no offense, I was just quickly providing a resource in the case that you hadn't looked at it before. Also, the docs that @yariplus linked are the outdated ones, whereas the ones I linked are more up-to-date.

Hi, I use Litespeed actually for my other domains and they are on the same server so can I delete the config.json file in this case?

I don't know anything about lightspeed, but I can tell you that config.json is completely separate from the reverse proxy you decide to use. config.json is generated by ./nodebb setup and is located in the nodebb directory.

Do I have to use Ngynx in addition of Litespeed?

Probably not, but you'll have to look up how to do the same things that nginx does when using our example config files and apply that to Lightspeed.

I already have a database but where do I have to specify it during the setup?

If you run ./nodebb setup after deleting config.json, it will ask you for settings for your database.

How do I delete the config.json file?

My apologies but it becomes hard to follow... I followed a tuto on Youtube by entering some commands via SSH but this becomes hard to do so if someone can paste an exemple, it will be great and it will help.

An example for what? Unfortunately it's difficult to reduce installation into quick examples.

Do you have a repo or code to show?

@pitaj Thanks a lot : that really makes much more sense now.

I allready had deployed mailgun as a service through the use of an API key and that's what i was looking for !
Now that my domain has been created in the mailgun admin pannel and verified through the propagation of specific DNS records, i can confirm that the SMTP credentials are working and that the mails are being sent !

These clarifications were very helpful indeed ! 👍

Yes, the url in config.json should be equal to exactly the URL at which you access your site. It usually shouldn't be localhost or an IP address.

than you @pichalite, i think i will use material theme

The common causes for a session mismatch error are usually one of the following:

If you have a misconfigured url value in your config.json file, the cookie may be saved incorrectly (or not at all), causing a session mismatch error. Please ensure that the link you are accessing your site with and the url defined match.

Sometimes admins set this value without realising that they probably don't need to set it at all. The default is perfectly fine. This is what the config looks like:

Cookie Domain setting

If this is set, you'll want to revert the setting by editing your database directly:

Redis: hdel config cookieDomain
MongoDB: db.objects.update({ _key: "config" }, { $set: "cookieDomain": "" });

If you are using a reverse proxy, you will need to have nginx pass a header through to NodeBB so it correctly determines the correct cookie secure property.

In nginx, you will need to add the directive like so:

@julian I've solved the problem. Thank you very much!

I wasnt expecting Chrome to autofill in the settings page 😞

IL see my self out.

Thanks

@doekia How to see this?

Thanks Julian.

I was not too complicated but not having any data model made the process longer.
I still have faced an issue with my converted users not been able to view the categories. I have manually addressed the issue by creating a "legacy" group, add the necessary group/priv to my categories and manually adding my users to the legacy group (fortunatly was having no more than 150 legacy users).
I presume it has something to do with group association but haven't been able to figure out what exactly

Solved. add-registration-field plugin was the culprit. An undefined field was added in the registration page causing the error in adding a user in the database.
