NodeBB setup

privateryan

I am using NodeBB with redis because mongo was being stupid, so now when i do the ./nodebb setup, here is what pops up:

[root@localhost nodebb]# ./nodebb setup
17/2 20:21:34 [4309] - info: NodeBB Setup Triggered via Command Line

Welcome to NodeBB!

This looks like a new installation, so you'll have to answer a few questions about your environment before we can proceed.
Press enter to accept the default setting (shown in brackets).

17/2 20:21:35 [4309] - info: Now configuring redis database:
Configuration Saved OK
Populating database with default configs, if not already set...
[deprecated] String.prototype.rtrim is deprecated as of NodeBB v1.5; use utils.rtrim instead.

@privateryan that's a deprecation warning which you can safely ignore.

@pitaj but after that, there are no new messages.. what should I do? When i start the nodebb i cannot access it through the link.

Is there an existing config.json file? If so ./nodebb setup might not show anything else. You can delete that file to restart, but you might also need to either choose a different database number for redis to start fresh.

Are you starting NodeBB with ./nodebb start? Try running ./nodebb start -l which will show the log and display any errors that occur.
