Im running into a problem here, just installed the youtube embed plugin and had to restart the server to make it work, now im trying to install the adsense plugin but when i click activate, it shows a mensage saying its restarting, after that if i reload the page it shows a option under plugins for it with a blank page, i then try to restart nodebb with ./nodebb stop and get this:
Stopping NodeBB. Goodbye! cat: pidfile: No such file or directory kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]if i try with npm stop i get this:

@kimikelku At the moment, is your NodeBB running?
This message (
cat: pidfile: No such file or directory) usually means that NodeBB is not running, although if you can still access the site, it is possible that NodeBB may be running on its own.You can check by running
ps aux | grep "nodejs ./app", if it is running, it would look something like this:julian@nodebb:~$ ps aux | grep "nodejs ./app" julian 10922 5.6 1.6 1009344 101960 ? Sl 14:11 0:02 /usr/bin/nodejs ./app -d start julian 10962 0.0 0.0 13584 952 pts/3 S+ 14:12 0:00 grep --color=auto nodejs ./appThe top entry denotes a running orphaned NodeBB instance. In this case, I'd terminate it by calling
kill -15 10922
