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.

It depends on how active your forum is... this forum only uses about 130mb for MongoDB, although there's a bit more taken up due to backups, etc.

Moving from one host to another is fine... just save the database (via mongodump) and the contents of public/uploads

You can automate it by using this guide.

Or the one written by me.
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/3866/guide-nodebb-0-6-1-on-openshift-for-windows-users-with-putty/1

Or use official NodeBB guide.

This is not a bug. You have used npm install command in the wrong folder. Use OpenShift Online in your browser to download NodeBB files to /app-root/runtime/repo and it will work as it should.

There are two main reasons why this guide has been published. I have had to limit mobile bandwidth consumption on 3G connection and to get rid of Git and Ruby issues. Mixing them up with Windows command line is a bit quirky.

Linux and other *nix users should skip it and go with your official guide. I have tested it on a local computer with Fedora 21 Server and it is really easy to reproduce. But on Windows it is not.

And you do not need to change so many firewall settings for cmd.exe, ssh.exe and similar processes. Using web-based OpenShift tools is also much easier for beginners.

We have prepared a new guide for users with rhc and git tools.

I hope it can be used by those who only installed PHP forum scripts.

The guide has been updated since last we read it.
Apparently the caveat was to set the bind_address (I'm pretty sure I tried it but only with 0.0.0.)

No need for hacks!
