What happens when you do cd home/nodebb/nodebb?

root@techiewiz:~# cd home/nodebb/nodebb
-bash: cd: home/nodebb/nodebb: No such file or directory

If you do cd home/something/something he will first try to look for the folder home, so if you're not in the root it won't find that folder, you need to had this / before home so he can start looking for that folder in the root, like this: cd /home/nodebb/nodebb and then do this to disable the plugins ./nodebb reset plugins.

Life saver. My board is back online. Thanks a lot @kimikelku and others who helped.

Alternatively, you may use npm start and npm stop to do the same.

I am still at bay on installing the search add on. It is in my plugin list. But afraid whether it will kill my forum again. Any suggestions are always welcome.

a_5mith

If it does, now we know where your forum is installed, you can just run ./nodebb reset plugins if it goes wrong.The plugin works fine for me. So unless there's something else wrong. It should be fine to go ahead and activate.

@a_5mith Thanks.

In which folder I should be before installing another plugin ?

julian

@meetdilip You should be at the root if your NodeBB.

That is, if you installed NodeBB into /home/meetdilip/nodebb, you should cd into that directory before running npm install:

$ cd /home/meetdilip/nodebb
$ npm install nodebb-plugin-emoji-extended

meetdilip

The search mod is working well.

@julian, Thanks. Also please do update on the BB code editor. May be chat if you prefer.

Installed and activated successfully. Just that image is not appearing. When I open image in a new tab, it gives 404.

@meetdilip I think your base_url may be incorrectly set to http://techniewiz.com instead of .in

How can I correct that ?

julian

@meetdilip You can just edit the config.json file

How ? Commands please.

a_5mith

@meetdilip Go to your nodebb folder (home/nodebb/nodebb) and type in nano config.json then change your base_url from .com to .in

How to save and exit ? Unable to do

a_5mith

@meetdilip Ctrl + X, then Y, then Enter on your keyboard.

@a_5mith , works like a charm. Thanks. Could you please give commands for youtube embed, image and mandrill plugins please ?

a_5mith

@meetdilip
Youtube is npm install nodebb-plugin-youtube
Mandrill is npm install nodebb-plugin-emailer-mandrill

& there's two image plugins, one that supports uploading directly to imgur.com & embed, and another that will automatically embed an image inline with posts, however i don't think it supports nodebb 0.4.0. It hasn't been updated for a few months.

However the Imgur plugin (which I know works) is npm install nodebb-plugin-imgur

You can find all plugins on the NodeBB Plugins Page
