_csrf error

[Guiri]

@baris I'll setup a second install this evening to test. I did find this on StackOverflow.

More importantly, issuing sudo service redis stop does reproduce that error. So now I need to figure out why the default redis package on RHEL 6.5 keeps dying.

[julian]

@Guiri First stop is /var/log/redis

[Guiri]

@julian Yes. Turns out I had to echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory. The forum has been running great!

Hey @julian, I've just installed NodeBB again on a clean Droplet, following psychobunnys noob guide for reference, and when logging in I got the same error. The page stops at /?loggedin with 500 Internal Server Error, api/config/ also has the same error, removing `/?loggedin' takes me back to the homepage, and I am logged in though.

I went into NodeBBs logs and saw this node_redis: no callback to send error: ERR unknown command 'pexpire'

Went into /var/log/redis, the only error in there was about overcommit_memory needing to be set to 1.

Have I set up a duff droplet on Digital Ocean or something? I've installed NodeBB about 3 or 4 times now, but never had this issue.

What version is your redis? You can see in the ACP>database. Looks like pexpire is only supported on redis 2.6.0 and up.

@baris Seems that could be the issue then, as it states my Redis version is 2.2.12.

Have updated to version 2.8.9. Must have missed a command somewhere.

[a_5mith]

Seems it hasn't been fixed.

I get this running ./nodebb dev

Oh and redis version is 2.8.4, not 2.8.9. Ubuntu version is 14.04 if this helps.

Oh and everything worked fine until I tried enabling some plugins, installed and enabled, clicked Home to restart nodebb, page didn't change, so tried loading homepage, nada, have reset all plugins, still getting the issue.

Edit: a quick git pull (1 deletion) & ./nodebb upgrade later and it seems to be ok, one of the plugins seems to be the cause. Trying to figure out which one.

[a_5mith]

Culprit seems to be plugin-emoji-extended, although I've no idea why. Enabling that plugin gives me the csrf error, disabling makes the error go away.

[frissdiegurke]

the first error seems to be my fault: #1517 sorry for that
It appears within emoji-extended now because I recently updated to the new settings framework
But I have no clue what the TypeError: Cannot read property '_csrf' of undefined is about... maybe it disappears when the first one is fixed.

[psychobunny]

Just merged the above fix, let me know if your error is fixed after pulling latest

[a_5mith]

@psychobunny That's done the trick, no csrf error when enabling emoji-extended.
