Try ./nodebb build and if that doesn't work, try ./nodebb reset -a. You can use ./nodebb help reset to view all options.

fstdesk

@PitaJ said in nodebb does not work, i can not reset:

./nodebb help reset

thanks @PitaJ

i tried. but i cannot login as Admin . it says Forbidden.

fstdesk

i installed again with mongo but same problem. buttons does not work and it says always Checking for installed themes... i do not understand why ?

evoixmr

@atozsoft I think I had this issue on my first attemp on nodebb. If I remeber correctly, it had something to do with mongo and config.json.

please remember it

evoixmr

@atozsoft Is your mongo setup correctly? Can you post your config.json? just X-out the user/password.

fstdesk

i think it is not about config. i installed maybe 20 times. result is same. now there is more errors in admin error log.

these are 404 errors.

PitaJ

That ./nodebb dev error is because NodeBB is already running. You have to ./nodebb stop first

fstdesk

@PitaJ thanks.

after stop. dev results

PitaJ

@atozsoft have you tried disabling all plugins with ./nodebb reset -p? That's not the entire dev log, can you get it all?

What version of Node.js are you using? Have you tried re-running npm install? What kind of vps do you have? We need as much information as you can give us because I've never seen this before.

fstdesk

i will try. node:6.10.3 . ubuntu 16.04 on aws. 1 gb ram. 8 gb ssd.

PitaJ

@atozsoft try either increasing the memory or adding a fairly large swap partition (~ 2 GB). This could have been caused by the npm install failing due to it running out of memory.

fstdesk

@PitaJ thank you. i will try more ram.

i tried ./nodebb reset -p and npm install . now i can not login, got forbidden error.

fstdesk

@PitaJ tried with 2gb ram. same result.

PitaJ

@atozsoft what did you try with 2gb ram? Does npm install complete successfully? What does your terminal look like?

fstdesk

@PitaJ fresh install. i used this tutarial for node. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-16-04

@atozsoft is that on apt-get install npm or what?

fstdesk

@PitaJ yes same command but it gives above error.

PitaJ

In https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-16-04 there are several different possibilities given for installing node. Which did you use?
