Cant access mongo terminal in Digital Ocean
-
Hi friends
I install ubuntu 12.04LTS on my droplet. I install 14.04LTS before this on my droplet and install NodeBB on it. The problem I faced was. When I tried to run "mongo" command in the terminal. When I type mongo on the command line.I get the following error :-
Failed global initialization: BadValue Invalid or no user locale set. Please ensure LANG and/or LC_* environment variables are set correctly.

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

So I thought this error was due to the ubuntu version so I changed it to 12.04LTS. But now I still face the same problem. What can I do to overcome this problem? Has anyone faced this problem before?
Thank you -

you've set-up
UTF-8asLC_CTYPE, it has to be sth. likeen_US.UTF-8instead since there is no locale called justUTF-8.check your /etc/locale.conf and /etc/default/locale (if existent) or print the contents here.

@frissdiegurke Hi friend. I wasn't able to find the file on /etc/locale.conf
But the file at /etc/default/locale has the below code:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8" -
anything like within ~/.profile?
doeslocaleandenv | grep LC_CTYPEdisplay the same assignment ofLC_CTYPE?try running
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 && mongoin order to figure out whether this is the correct problem we're after. -
@frissdiegurke
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 && mongo method worked and it was okay. But when I logout and log in back.I tried mongo and got this error back.

@gvimlan yes, the
exportcommand only sets the environment-variableLC_CTYPEfor that session. it's just for testing whether I've determined the correct problem.So you now know the problem is definitely a wrong assigned environment-variable.
Because I don't use ubuntu at all I don't know where they typically set such variables.
You may also check the /etc/environment file forLC_CTYPE(cat /etc/environment | grep LC_CTYPEfor example) or ~/.bashrc or any other file starting with ~/.bash.
Otherwise it doesn't look like a standard-file for environment-setup does this assignment.If you don't find that assignment as a not-the-cleanest fix you should overwrite it yourself by adding
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8into /etc/default/locale or /etc/locale.conf or (user-scope)export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8into ~/.profile.For further information about where/when/whatever of environment-variables within ubuntu take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables

@gvimlan it's not necessary but doesn't make a difference in that case

@frissdiegurke Hey mate
I installed nodebb and mongodb based on this tutorial.
[Installing method]
Everyone went well. When i typed mongo and type show databases. I m getting the following error. Does this mean I m not having root access. How do I login to the database?(https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/configuring/databases/mongo.html)
2015-03-31T09:04:42.214-0400 E QUERY Error: listDatabases failed:{

"errmsg" : "not authorized on admin to execute command { listDatabases: 1.0 }",

Since I did never create any additional mongodb-users (I have no running systems) I can't help you with that pretty much.
Maybe you've run
db.createUserwithoutuse nodebbbefore in that very same session (I don't know to which db they get bound in this case)...Try
show users(within a cleanmongosession) and if a nodebb user exists I'd recommend following this official guide. -

Hi mate
I m not sure how things are working. But I created the nodebb forum and everything seems to be storing in the database. How do I look into to the content saved in the database? And will the content being saved in the database I specified or the default one?
Everything seems to be good except the database part. Is there I can read where does Nodebb save its data and stuff?Thank you
-
If you look into the config.json within your NodeBB root-directory you should get some information about how NodeBB tries to access the database (the way you specified within
./nodebb setup)If you'd be able to manage your permission-problem you could run
mongoand withinuse nodebbandshow collectionsfor each of the collections you may rundb.COLLECTION.find()to get a plain list of the JSONs within. -
