    Not really, no... It just means that you might have a running NodeBB instance you can't stop (short of running something like kill)

    @baris strangely enough, the category list loads now! And it doesn't look like there's any circularness in the list. [image: 1667321874887-1c811ac6-83ea-4dd2-b1d9-3af633f45e90-image.png] Still, trying to manage the admin group via /admin/manage/groups/administrators or /admin/manage/admins-mods results in a gateway timeout. I've also enabled verbose logging, which displays this upon visiting either of these two urls: x.x.x.x - - [01/Nov/2022:17:12:10 +0000] "GET /forum/admin/manage/admins-mods HTTP/1.1" - - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0" Now there's no response code. Strange.

    In your setup redis will be used for sessions, pubsub and socket.io will use it to pass around messages. Each nodejs process has it's own post cache, you can see the caches at /admin/advanced/cache. Redis pubsub is also used to clear cache on the other nodejs process when it is cleared on one nodejs process. For example when a post is edited it's cache will be cleared on the other nodes.

    @MoJo Ah yeah it looks like you've run into this bug: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/8515 You'll need to cherry-pick the referenced commit to fix it in your install.

    Yes, the url in config.json should be equal to exactly the URL at which you access your site. It usually shouldn't be localhost or an IP address.

    The common causes for a session mismatch error are usually one of the following: 1. Mis-configured URL parameter in your config.json file If you have a misconfigured url value in your config.json file, the cookie may be saved incorrectly (or not at all), causing a session mismatch error. Please ensure that the link you are accessing your site with and the url defined match. 2. Improper/malformed cookieDomain set in ACP Sometimes admins set this value without realising that they probably don't need to set it at all. The default is perfectly fine. This is what the config looks like: [image: VEhEQAREQgZgTkGjHvIPVPBEQAREQgfgQ+P8uQ0hcCNBYdwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==] If this is set, you'll want to revert the setting by editing your database directly: Redis: hdel config cookieDomain MongoDB: db.objects.update({ _key: "config" }, { $set: "cookieDomain": "" }); 3. Missing X-Forwarded-Proto header from nginx/apache If you are using a reverse proxy, you will need to have nginx pass a header through to NodeBB so it correctly determines the correct cookie secure property. In nginx, you will need to add the directive like so: location / { ... proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; ... }

    Hello. I know this was asked so much times on the forum, but I've actually a problem since I use the NodeJS build from Openshift. I saw everywhere that I had to change the nginx configuration file, but I don't how to achieve that with my current configuration. I tried to install nginx, but it failed to resolve the issue. So, I was thinking that someone found a fix or a way to edit nginx configuration with Openshift. Thank you for your attention, Best regards.
