Authentication Failed

ChrisB

May be faster for you to figure out the correct credentials using the CLI:

mongo --username <yourusername> --password <yourpass>

Also worth attempting to connect with no credentials, on the off-chance you haven't correctly enabled authentication.

mongo

If you can't figure out the correct credentials, you can set up another set with this official doc.

I finally got past this error.
It took a couple of uninstalls and reinstalls of mongo until i finally got the details right.

but now I have a new problem

I'm still working my way through the install guide which BTW doesn't look like it's rendering correctly on my browser but that's beside the point
I got to the part where I setup a nodebb.service file.
This is what my nodebb.service file looks like


[Service] Type=simple User=nodebb

StandardOutput=syslog StandardError=syslog SyslogIdentifier=nodebb

Environment=NODE_ENV=production WorkingDirectory=/home/ubuntu/nodebb ExecStart=/usr/bin/node loader.js –no-daemon –no-silent Restart=always

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Does this seem correct?
When I go to the next step and run sudo systemctl enable nodebb, I get this message: Failed to execute operation: Bad message

@arkoma Nah, you're missing some of the line breaks:

[Unit]
Description=NodeBB
Documentation=https://docs.nodebb.org
After=system.slice multi-user.target mongod.service

[Service]
Type=simple
User=nodebb

StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=nodebb

WorkingDirectory=/path/to/nodebb
ExecStart=/usr/bin/env node loader.js --no-silent --no-daemon
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Try a different browser? Which install guide are you using?

Arkoma

@julian I'm using this guide https://nodebb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing/os/ubuntu.html

I'm looking at it in Chrome on Linux Mint Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

I put in the line breaks
I notice that you don't have this line that I do
Environment=NODE_ENV=production

Arkoma

This post is deleted!

@arkoma It looks like nodebb defaults to running as production, unless you pass some other value to NODE_ENV, so that line will have no effect.

@arkoma use https://docs.nodebb.org

Arkoma

Ok I think it's running. Now how do I look at it in my browser. haha
I have a AWS free tier instance

PitaJ

Your AWS instance has an IP address or maybe even a normal address. You can use that to connect on port 4567

Arkoma

@pitaj Yeah, that's not working. Most likely I don't know what I'm doing, but it just times out.

This is what I have in the console

9/3 03:16:20 [1786] - info: NodeBB Ready
9/3 03:16:20 [1786] - info: Enabling 'trust proxy'
9/3 03:16:20 [1786] - info: NodeBB is now listening on: 0.0.0.0:4567

I go here
http://ec2-34-213-181-70.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:4567/

and it just hangs

Arkoma

I finally figured it out.
It's up and running at
http://34.217.204.98:4567/

Although I get a message saying "looks like your connection to nodebb was lost" hmm... I'm going to have to search for another thread related to that.

Arkoma

Fixed it. addresses didn't match. between my actual ip and the config.json file
