New Install - Plugin Page Freezes
-
I don't see anything about you checking the browser console for errors.
What version of Node.js are you using?
-
@pitaj 14.7.3
@phenomlab I am using a box at home yes with plenty of cpu and ram. There is not much on it. Another node application running two game servers and nodebb. Thats it.
Anyway I have completely removed nodebb db and users from mongo and deleted the directory.
I will try again from scratch. The first time i installed I never had any problem with that. Maybe I am doing something wrong but I am following the instructions from nodebb docs.
-
@sampo2910 Many folks have installed and run NodeBB so I suspect you may have fat fingered something somewhere. You are using Ubuntu? These are the docs you reference, correct?
Ubuntu (Recommended) - NodeBB Documentation
Documentation portal for NodeBB Forum Software
(docs.nodebb.org)
Or mayhaps did you follow the guide from the nodebb blog article?
I suggest you follow the docs guide, record every command you drive, and then, if things are still amiss, we will have something more definitive to work with.
Good luck and have fun! o/

Why does everything else on the forum work flawlessly other than that tab…. Highly unlikely I fat fingered something four times.
-
Went directly to Admin page and then directly to the find plugins page. Same error in every browser I use. I answered the questions on setup and left everything as it said. Only thing of course I added was admin email and password. Is this something because I am using local machine or what?
-
Ah looks like there's a client side JavaScript infinite loop for some reason. What browser are you using?
Have you tried a different browser?
-
@pitaj as said above multiple browsers. But this was not like this before.
I have set up the forums again. All no problem navigating, widgets, other plugins.
But going to extend-plugins-find plugins..FREEZE.
Also this way plugins-install-plugins FREEZE
So basically I need to set up the email because I need to install a plugin?? Which i cannot.
ERROR
The sendmail executable could not be found, please ensure it is installed and executable by the user running NodeBB. -
@sampo2910 interesting. I experienced this exact same error message when suddenly my forum would no longer run as daemon.
-
@phenomlab I have just noticed that all is fine ONLY on MS Edge browser I had tried firefox and opera and no good......I am going to uninstall chrome and reinstall and see whats what....If still no good I will have to use edge ( i dont want to)
-
@sampo2910 want to DM me the URL and login ? I can test from here also meaning we can validate if it's a NodeBB issue or not.
-
@sampo2910 you don't need a plugin for email. You can use the built in SMTP option instead.
I'll see if I can reproduce.
-
@phenomlab I doubt that sendmail has anything to do with the plugin page hanging the browser.
@Sampo2910 I haven't been able to reproduce yet on Firefox 92.0 or Chromium 92.0 on Linux. What version of Firefox are you using? You're on NodeBB 1.18.3 right?
-
@pitaj Well it is not working with default built in then.
I input my smtp settings and that was the problem i got. Those smtp settings worked previously.
And update again...It is NO LONGER WORKING ON MS Edge. Just tried again.
No idea what this is.
This was in logs regarding email:
Error: The sendmail executable could not be found, please ensure it is installed and executable by the user running NodeBB.

@sampo2910 did you set up the built in SMTP emailer? You have to enable it and provide account details.
Is your forum available publicly? Have you tried a different computer?
-
@pitaj Firefox was a test. I dont use it. I just downloaded the latest to try it. I use latest version as Chrome by default.
But whatever browser I use it is the same. Problem must lie elsewhere.
Regarding email and saying dont need to install anything why is that in the logs
'The sendmail executable could not be found, please ensure it is installed and executable ' Permissions? And can i get 1 reputation point please lol....I have to keep waiting to post
The forum does not crash when it is hanging...I have to close the page wait a minute and then go in again. It is only that 'find plugins page' NO WHERE else.
SMTP settings have all the account details all set up. Like i said it worked before.

@sampo2910 sendmail isn't necessary if you have SMTP set up. I just checked. If you share a screenshot of your emails settings page I can help you more.
That's a different issue we can figure out later though. Let's focus on the problem at hand. You haven't really been answering my questions, please answer all questions I ask or I won't have enough information to help you.
- Are you on NodeBB 1.18.3?
- Is your forum available through the internet?
- Have you tried using a different computer?
