It took down my forum today.

Thanks,

Has already been fixed: gh#4058

It looks like you need to update your NodeBB.

whitts

Ahh thanks.. Anyone know what causes it so i can avoid doing it until the next release comes out?

frissdiegurke

I guess it's a race condition with the database requests, so I don't think it can be avoided.

until the next release comes out

Since you don't seem to use any stable branch (the mentioned code didn't exist within 0.9.x), I assume you're on master. I don't see any problem with updating to the latest commit of master then

@frissdiegurke

Yes, i accidentally updated to master a while back The forum is live so i didn't want to update to latest master again until a final version came out in case it introduced more bugs.

Thanks

I upgraded my test server to the latest master and this issue went away (I found out that it was occurring on my live server when i clicked the settings button under my user profile).

Dont think I will update my live server yet though since i keep seeing this error on the latest master:

verbose: [translator] No resource file found for en_US/markdown, using provided fallback language file

It also crashed a few times randomly with this error:

error: Error: read ECONNRESET

@whitts said:

That's ok, there's no en_US language file for Markdown, so it falls back to the default, which is en_GB. No problems there

It's a verbose log message, which means it's really just informational.

@julian OK no problem. Thanks (I'd rather set my site to British but I work for an American company ;)) any idea about the other error? I'm sure I've seen that error before on earlier masters.

How are you running NodeBB? verbose errors don't normally show up with ./nodebb start.

whitts

@julian These errors were showing on my dev server which i start with nodebb dev... Only reason i start it like that is because nodebb start doesnt work on my dev server (never has) - it works fine on my live server . I only use this server for testing plugins and testing updates prior to doing it on the live. (its a carbon copy of my live server so the nodebb start not working must be some other setup issue).
