You can grab the version hash by running git rev-parse HEAD in console.

It looks like your nodebb.min.js was improperly parsed, so you can delete that file and run NodeBB again.

Alternatively, the latest version of NodeBB does away with that file altogether, so you can update to the latest version, if you'd like.

@julian mh now i'm getting

On the same version, yes? Hm... what happens if you try to run it in development mode? (./nodebb dev)

[Giorgio Chiodi]

To add to this, my nodebb.min.js never gets created on last nights code. I'm on Windows.

@mr_waffle As of commits yesterday, the js minfile is no longer a real file

@giorgio-chiodi let me try to go back to your version and see...

Anyway, I was getting errors in the JS console of require not being defined, and a bunch of followup errors, and was greeted with a blank page

[julian]

Yeah, that issue should be fixed by upgrading to the latest version -- this might also be fixed in the latest version, actually. Could you give that a try @giorgio-chiodi ?

[Giorgio Chiodi]

This post is deleted!

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@julian so I stop everything and do a ./nodebb upgrade?

[julian]

@giorgio-chiodi Yes:

$ ./nodebb stop
$ git pull
$ ./nodebb upgrade
$ ./nodebb start

Remember, back up your database first!

[Giorgio Chiodi]

./nodebb stop

@julian ok.... how do i backup ?

[julian]

Wherever your database is stored (probably at /var/lib/redis/dump.rdb), copy it somewhere else.

$ cd /var/lib/redis
$ cp dump.rdb dump.rdb.bak

[Schamper]

Confirmed working again, thanks!

[Giorgio Chiodi]

./nodebb upgrade

ok upgraded and working! Thank you @julian !

[julian]

Glad everything's fine again!
