Update from v0.7.0 to v1.4.0

julian

An error with const suggests there is an issue with Node.js being too far out of date to work with NodeBB.

TaLoche

Thanks for the quick reply Julian. (when trying to reply I get a flag for spam by Askimet error... and I can't scroll down in the composer to see my whole message, even in zen mode...)

I manage to get passed that error when I update node, for example to v4.4.3

but afterwards I'm facing this issue after a ./nodebb setup

Is there a mongo update that I should be doing before jumping to nodebb v0.7.x ?

julian

gyp error suggests a problem rebuilding binaries for compiled packages for NodeBB, of which we have none now.

So uninstall them with npm unl lwip mmmagic then try again.

Thanks so much for your time.

./nodebb upgrade gives me this

By installing node v4.0.0, re-installing connect-mongo and mongodb I did manage to run the ./nodebb upgrade for v0.7.x

But nodebb won't start, this is what I get with ./nodebb dev and all my plugins have been deactivated and unistalled before I started this.

Certainly looks like kerberos is failing when trying to build... but we don't require it to be run... can you try nuking your node_modules/ and running npm install --production again?

TaLoche

Thanks Julian for the follow-up! Much appreciated.

I did manage to upgrade to 0.7.3
By upgrading to 0.6.1, sending nodebb v0.7.3 per FTP, then run a ./nodebb upgrade, then a npm install of colors, minimist and touch that were required.
Then finally the ./nodebb upgrade went through, but I was never able to get nodebb to start. The Mongo database was not connecting it seems.

I'm giving it another try tonight and I'll try your idea and keep you posted if I succeed... and if I don't well I be back here begging for any idea.

TaLoche

Unfortunately, even after killing node_modules/ with rimraf and running npm install --production, I have the same error with Kerberos.

My plan F was to update to v0.6.1, then to v0.7.0.
I can't uprade since I have the famous "Mongo DB not installed, run setup" and when I run set up I have the Kerberos error...
But then I manage to checkout v0.7.x
and when I run the ./nodebb upgrade I have this

1. Bringing base dependencies up to date... OK
2. Updating NodeBB data store schema.

In the end, I edited the index.js file in /root/..../node_modules/connect-mongo

and changed

module.exports = require('./src');

to

module.exports = require('connect-mongo/es5');

Solution found here. I've now managed to upgrade to v0.8.x and keep going tomorrow.

Thanks for your help Julian!

julian

Ah yes... that would be it

Another solution would be upgrading your Node.js version, as it is too far behind. You'll need at least Node.js v4 for optimal usage.

TaLoche

Hehe thanks Julian.

I actually tried all the way different versions of Node.js thanks to nvm.
I was at the start v0.10.36, I upgraded to 0.10.38 but that didn't work out.

I tried with v0.11.x versions, v0.12.x, v4.0.x and even v7.2.1 but I usually got stuck with Kerberos or mmmagic errors when I tried changing node.js's version.

I'm actually stuck now, jumping from v0.9.x to v1.x.x with an _key_1_value_-1 already exists error

I've checked out the following topics
https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/5265
and
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/9939/index-with-name-key_1_value-1-already-exists-with-different-options

But er.. in layman's terms what would that be? Because droping the database doesn't work for me.
I type mongo, then use name of the database and then try db.objects.getIndexes()
but I get this error

2016-12-16T05:09:50.021-0500 error: { "$err" : "not authorized for query on wotw.system.indexes", "code" : 13                                                 } at src/mongo/shell/query.js:131

I must be doing something wrong...

Finally made it from v0.6.0 to v1.4.1

This was my upgrade route (hosted on DigitalOcean and with a mongo database - shell 2.6.7, node v0.10.38)

npm install minimist
npm install colors

*v0.7.0 to v0.7.3
git reset --hard origin/v0.7.x 
git describe --tags
./nodebb upgrade

node app --upgrade

*install nvm
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.11.1/install.sh | bash
*Restart terminal

* Change index.js in /root/"yourfoldername"/node_modules/connect-mongo from

*module.exports = require('connect-mongo/es5');

*edit /etc/mongod.conf, to uncomment auth = true line 

service mongod restart

./nodebb upgrade
./nodebb start
./nodebb stop

*v0.7.3 to v0.8.x
git checkout v0.8.x
git pull
./nodebb upgrade

./nodebb start
./nodebb stop

*v0.8.2 to v0.9.x
git checkout v0.9.x
git pull
./nodebb upgrade

./nodebb start
./nodebb stop

*v0.9.4 to v1.4.1
git checkout v1.x.x
git pull

nvm install v6.2.1
nvm use v6.2.1

./nodebb upgrade

*edit /etc/mongod.conf, to uncomment noauth=true line

This should help to avoid any issue with mmmagic, kerberos, bluebird and the key_1_value_-1 already exist error.

Et voilà !

Thanks again for your help Julian !
