nodebb running, but inaccessible from browser (local install)

[baris]

Did it start happening after an upgrade?

[Giorgio Chiodi]

nope, it just stopped working
we did install redis desktop manager, though
could that be the issue?

[baris]

Does uninstalling it and restarting nodebb help?

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@baris you mean uninstalling redis desktop manager

[Giorgio Chiodi]

nope, I unistalled redis-desktop-manager, still no luck

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@baris ok, I just noticed that the admin panel is still accessible, it's the homepage which isn't. weird...
actually, everything is accessible, except the home!

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@baris ok there must be something wrong with the categories, since I can't access that page from the admin.

[baris]

Does http://localhost:4567/api/home return anything?

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@baris no it doesn't like that either

[julian]

@giorgio-chiodi When you go to /api/home, what shows up in the NodeBB log? (./nodebb log to view logs. Have it running while you try accessing /api/home)

[Giorgio Chiodi]

weird not displaying anything

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@julian

info: NodeBB attempting to listen on: 0.0.0.0:4567

[julian]

What happens if you do the above, and NodeBB is running in development mode? (./nodebb dev)

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@Giorgio-Chiodi do you have access to redis-cli to run some commands?

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@baris sorry, I haven't seen your post. Yes, I have access

[baris]

Can you the run the following command.

redis-cli
zrange categories:cid 0 -1

[Giorgio Chiodi]

zrange categories:cid 0 -1

@baris operation not permitted should i go sudo?

[julian]

@giorgio-chiodi Does your redis have a password? If so, you'll need to type this command first:

AUTH {password}

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@julian ok now what
