mongodb install problem ?

[ahmed26]

according to the document, what is the problem with giving a failed startup error when installing? ubuntu 22.04

[phenomlab]

@ahmed26 From the screenshot, the package container link you have doesn't exist, and therefore, it is not possible to install MongoDB.

Try this

Install MongoDB Community Edition on Ubuntu - MongoDB Manual v8.0arrow-rightarrow-rightarrow-rightarrow-rightarrow-rightarrow-rightarrow-rightarrow-rightmenu-verticalarrow-rightarrow-rightarrow-rightarrow-rightarrow-rightarrow-rightarrow-rightarrow-rightmenu-vertical

it would be nice if the official upload document was updated, it would be a problem for those who know little like me i've been trying for three days, I still haven't been able to load

[phenomlab]

he stayed here while installing, the username password section did not arrive

@ahmed26 From the message being displayed MongoDB is not running. Did you follow the guide to enable and start it?

[ahmed26]

[phenomlab]

@ahmed26 The issue lies with how you've configured the authorization

See below

By default, MongoDB does not require authentication to access the database. However, it is recommended to enable authentication to secure the database and prevent unauthorized access.

To enable authentication for MongoDB, follow these steps:

Edit the MongoDB configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/mongod.conf 

This command will open the MongoDB configuration file in the Nano text editor.

Find the security section in the configuration file and add the following lines:

security:
  authorization: enabled

This will enable the authorization feature for MongoDB, which requires users to authenticate with a username and password to access the database.

Save the changes and exit the text editor.
Restart the MongoDB service:

sudo systemctl restart mongod 

This command will apply the changes to the MongoDB configuration and restart the service.

yesss thank you, I'm continuing, there's no giving up where I left off, I'll make it

whats problem

[phenomlab]

@ahmed26 You haven't configured any username or password for MongoDB according to that message

By default, MongoDB does not require a password to access the database. However, it is recommended to set a password to secure the database and prevent unauthorized access.

To set a password for MongoDB, follow these steps:

Connect to the MongoDB shell:

mongosh 

This command will open the MongoDB shell, which is a command-line interface for interacting with the database.

Switch to the admin database:

use admin 

This command will switch to the admin database, which is used to manage the users and roles in the database.

db.createUser({
  user: "admin",
  pwd: "password",
  roles: [ { role: "root", db: "admin" } ]
}) 

Replace admin and password with the desired username and password for the new user. This command will create a new user with the root role in the admin database. The root role has full access to all database resources and functions.

Exit the MongoDB shell:

exit

You also need to do the same for the NodeBB database as outlined in

Ubuntu (Recommended) - NodeBB Documentation

Documentation portal for NodeBB Forum Software

(docs.nodebb.org)

Specifically the section "Configure MongoDB" (you can skip the "admin" user as you've created it already in the above, plus the "security" bit as you now have that working)

i have completed the installation, an error appears when I enter my username and password forbidden

[phenomlab]

@ahmed26 can you provide your nginx conf file?

[ahmed26]

@phenomlab

[phenomlab]

@ahmed26 you're trying to access on https but your nginx config is only listening on port 80 for http. You need to change that to 443 for https but you will also need a certificate which you can get from let's encrypt.

@phenomlab i'm using cloudflare how should I make a change here

[phenomlab]

@ahmed26 is nodebb running presently?

[ahmed26]

@phenomlab installation finished
i installed nodebb via ubuntu

i can't access the forum as an administrator

i forgot my password it doesn't work , does not register on the forum

what is the reason?
I applied the admin password correctly in installation

[ahmed26]

ngix nodebb.conf. proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; ---)
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https; Solved by changing This process won't cause any problems, right?
