Forum down after restart

[phenomlab]

@pitaj said in Forum down after restart:

Try ./nodebb build --series. Also try chowning the files to make sure permissions aren't the issue.

Oh was the build successful this time?

Yes, it was. No issues with the build, but unable to start NodeBB because of the error I mentioned above.

[phenomlab]

@PitaJ this is the error message

sudonix@vps:~/nodebb$ ./nodebb log

Hit Ctrl-C to exit


   61 |   <div widget-area="contentbetween"><!-- BEGIN widgets.contentbetween -->{widgets.contentbetween.html}<!-- END widgets.contentbetween --></div>
      |                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ `widgets.contentbetween` could refer to the top-level value `widgets.contentbetween` or the `.widgets.contentbetween` property of the current element, so compiler must emit code for both cases
      | note: Migrate to modern syntax to avoid the ambiguity. This will become an error in the future.

Unable to start no matter what I try. @baris @PitaJ any suggestions please ? This is a production forum.

Thanks

[baris]

Did you check memory usage? Make sure you have enough free memory and setup swap.

[phenomlab]

@baris That's not the issue. I have 16gb RAM with 4 cpu cores. I also have another forum called https://hostrisk.com running on the same box with no issues.

[PitaJ]

Try deleting node_modules and running npm i to reinstall. Try disabling all plugins. Try rebooting your server.

[phenomlab]

@pitaj tried all of this. Exact same error. Pretty frustrated right now by this - still not working.

[phenomlab]

All plugins are disabled, so it's not that.

[PitaJ]

Try downgrading persona to 11.2.6

[phenomlab]

@pitaj Same issue. Installed with npm i [email protected] but no difference. Error still persists.

[PitaJ]

Can you capture the output of ./nodebb dev just so we have a full log of the startup sequence?

[phenomlab]

@pitaj Here you go.

The odd thing is that when using ./nodebb dev, the forum starts up ??

[PitaJ]

@phenomlab are you sure the forum isn't up when you start with ./nodebb start?

I remember seeing a very similar issue some time ago. Can you provide the output of git status?

[phenomlab]

@pitaj said in Forum down after restart:

@phenomlab are you sure the forum isn't up when you start with ./nodebb start?

Yes, 100%

Output of git status

sudonix@vps:~/nodebb$ git status

[PitaJ]

Working in dev but not in start sounds exactly like this issue: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/15412/forum-is-not-available-anymore

[PitaJ]

Can you capture a full startup log with ./nodebb slog?

[phenomlab]

@pitaj All I get is this

sudonix@vps:~/nodebb$ ./nodebb slog

Starting NodeBB with logging output

The NodeBB process will continue to run in the background

      | note: Migrate to modern syntax to avoid the ambiguity. This will become an error in the future.

I suggest disabling all custom plugins and themes and see if the issue is still there, then you can reenable one by one to find what's wrong. If it's still not starting up with the base plugins then you will have to debug the startup with some console.logs.

Also modify your config.json to start only a single process and see if that makes a difference.

[phenomlab]

@baris Thanks. Interestingly, it'll start with node app js ??
