@Maahi The error message tells you what you need to know. In this case, nginx cannot start because there is already something bound to port 80. Apache? NodeBB? You need to figure this out.

It happens when you click on notifications.
I had this issue and solved it by switching on weekly branch.

I'd like to be able to enable generation of css source maps so that I can identify which less file a rule is defined in. For example, the .btn class has padding defined as '10px 16px'. I'd like a workflow which allows me to quickly figure out which less file contains that rule, without having to manually search for it. I have show 'show original sources' enabled in the firefox dev tools but also need to tell nodeBB to generate the source maps or generate them myself.

The button padding seems to come from the bootstrap mixin:

During development, I'd also like nodeBB to re-generate css based on changes I make to less files. For now I am running nodebb dev, editing a less file and then manually reloading the forum in the admin panel.

All advice appreciated - hopefully this will be useful to others. I searched for 'source maps' but didnt get any relevant hits.

Sorry. Yes, I meant the NodeBB version. Node version is 4.2.4

After I deleted node_modules I think what happened is that npm install didnt install mongo or mongo-connect. The error was a bit vague but reinstalling those two packages resolved the problem.

@julian the issue was different mongodb versions on different servers, when the database migrated on the different version of mongodb it failed with that error periodically. The odd thing is it did not crash, just hung threre.

Hello everyone, I have some configuration questions for anyone who can give me some light on what to do, so I went ahead and setup a forum with NodeBB, every...

OK, thanks! Now I know, where to start.

@pichalite sloved, i find acp enabled Use a separate route for the composer
but i find some bug, in new page you can't add tag and use the reply button

@rod said in Sending emails via SMTP on Nodebb 1.0.x:

Try the nodebb-plugin-emailer-local-bobo plugin. It will give you SMTP service.

That worked. Thank you!

I've switched on the registration queue feature but the IP address shown is my server's IP address. In case it is relevant, the NodeBB instance is proxied via NGINX. How would I meaningfully distinguish between good / bad users using the default columns in this view?; name, IP, email etc. Also, what do the ticks and crosses mean next to the name and / or email? (not the action buttons for approve / deny on the right)

(tried to upload a screenshot but got error - unexpected token)

Is there a way to require that users answer a registration question using core functionality or is a plugin required for that? NodeBB version 0.9.3. I am also using the spam-be-gone plugin.

@fenwick67 Another user, @lewismcmahon, has forked that plugin and is supporting it now. It is nodebb-plugin-s3-uploads-updated and can be found in the Download Plugins section of the ACP. No need to manually install the one I referenced originally.

EDIT: It looks like you edited your post as I was composing this response.

Ive fixed by adding external url to node json config file and setting port attribute instead writing it in url 🙂

Error resolved by itself! no worries.

Thx for the help.

How to switch to this branch ? There is a specific tag ?

Whoops i just see the tag weekly

The problem is solved, thanks

@pichalite fixed, i delete node_modules and rebuild

@pichalite Done: https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-sso-google/issues/18

After some more research, I found a solution:

Will select just one user's avatar

@julian I saw manual for it (but on Russian): https://habrahabr.ru/post/264301/
And did find special service for Telegram login (not tested): https://telegramlogin.com/
I hope Its will help a little bit
