Upgrading to Nodebb v1.5.1

PitaJ

BTW, getting full actual terminal logs would be good, including all of the commands for these things, so we can see where the commands are run, etc.

Also, use triple backticks to make a code block

```
someCode();
```

goes to

someCode();

ljhardy

npm i
npm upgrade

are run in the nodebb root folder.

I'm assuming that when you say that the NodeBB files shouldn't be web server accessible, that is a security concern and not a potential cause of my issue? I will change that, but it has been running fine (although probably insecurely, based on your point) for a couple of years.

I will try the commands again and paste in the entire log stream that is showing on the terminal.

Thanks for the help here.

FWIW @julian @baris @psychobunny upgrading to npm@5 and using the package-lockfile.json thats generated could make these kinds of issues go away.

PitaJ

@bri npm@5 has some development usability issues. Namely, npm link is broken as an npm i in the main directory will dedupe out of linked modules, breaking lots of things.

Have you nuked your node_modules/ folder and tried npm i --production? It seems npm is getting quite confused with your folder...

Bri

What the heck? Sqlite3?

ljhardy

@Bri - I'm using mongodb, why would sqllite be referenced?

ljhardy

I have a current mongodb backup. Would it be possible for me to remove everything, install the latest version of Nodebb and then restore all of the data? How would I do that?

Thanks, I really appreciate the help here.

ljhardy

Ok, I actually had a full directory backup of nodebb from a couple of months ago. I restored that and am able to start nodebb. Now I'll start the upgrade again.

ljhardy

Success!!! Thanks guys.
