Proper Path to install on Digital Ocean Server with Preexisting Ghost Install

julian

@casey-mcnamara Just for reference -- we recommend subdomains for NodeBB, not subfolders

finid

Any specific reason for that preference?

Casey McNamara

@planner - Nope. Not yet. I may try: 1) change to subdomain instead in the config file, and 2) upload on a 32 bit version of ubuntu (I did read that we weren't sure if 64 bit worked).

@Casey-McNamara

Where did you get that info about the 64-bit version of Ubuntu not working?

Casey McNamara

@planner I believe some comment on an installation instructions blog post questioned whether or not nodebb would compile on 64bit. Is this verified incorrect?

@Casey-McNamara

Well, my installation is running in a subdomain of a WP site running on a 64-bit Ubuntu 13.10. And I've not heard any comment from the devs regarding this.

Casey McNamara

@planner ok - thanks for that confirmation. I'll rule that out as the issue then.

The bcrypt library is the only thing that needs to compile, but should be fine on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. NodeBB should be fine on both.

@julian didn't we replace bcrypt with a pure js version?

julian

@baris We did, but it still seems to want to compile something. Not sure, maybe it isn't bcrypt.
