User search broken [0.7.0]

@Hägar Changing hosts looks like the only other option.

a_5mith

It's not possible. So what to do now?

Anythings possible. If your host says they won't update it. And you can't update it yourself. You need a better host. I recommend Digital Ocean.

@pichalite
Not really. Dropping NodeBB could be the other one.

In such scenario you can use Redis Cloud.

Hägar

No Cloud. The data shall not be under somebody else control. Specially not spread anywhere in the world. (-> federal data protection act)

You're in Poland? "Dzień dobry!"
You should know about such things (http://www.giodo.gov.pl)

You can still try to use MongoDB or LevelDB.

Yes. I'll give it a try.

 MongoError: auth failed

But Auth data is correct.

By far: How to import the nodebb-data from redid to mongo?

i've updated redis on windows to 2.8.9 if anyone needs help. dumb.rdb permissions needs a change of ownership but that's about it

/user/search working correctly.

NodeBB doco should include new version
https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis/releases

download and install the .msi
run the redis-cli.exe in the install directory. > SHUTDOWN server
place your old dump.rdb in the new directory
right click dump.rdb click properties, change in security advanced settings, change files owner to NETWORK SERVICE

start the server from an admin command prompt in programs directory..
C:\Program Files\Redis>redis-server.exe redis.windows.conf <- not sure on this command, seems to need special windows treatment, will work stand-alone without arguments though

should start, and work. have noticed that dump.rdb reverts owner back to Administrator but it it's still working so alls good.

Also getting this error. I'm currently running Redis v2.8.4 - latest from the package manager in Ubuntu.

Redis server v=2.8.4 sha=00000000:0 malloc=jemalloc-3.4.1 bits=64 build=a44a05d76f06a5d9

Does it need to be a later version of 2.8 to fix this?

Try the redis PPA from chris-lea

add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server

Kalbaskin

@julian good! Thanks!

terfex

Same here, cheers. Mine got upgraded to the next major release. Do I need to do anything else with nodebb?

Redis server v=3.0.2 sha=00000000:0 malloc=jemalloc-3.6.0 bits=64 build=9a95cedf214a3630""

julian

@terfex I don't think so... 2.8 just included a new command we take advantage of.
