Issue with Admin Panel since upgrade to 1.4.2

@teh_g what language are you using? Can you test with en-GB selected in your user settings?

I am using en-US.

Switching to en-GB sort of works. On the initial load of the page, I get the same issue. If I do an F5 to reload, it shows the proper text.

[PitaJ]

@teh_g yeah I just pulled the latest from branch v1.x.x and I can't repro.

[priapo]

I installed nodebb today and have exactly the same issue.. using apache as reverse proxy. Didn't install any extra plugin.. only fresh install.

Hmm, could it be tied to something on the OS? Maybe something with the DigitalOcean box I am running?

[PitaJ]

@teh_g I'd suggest trying ./nodebb build

edit: I just tried it on linux as well. Worked fine.

[priapo]

@teh_g are you running it on a linux container (lxc)? Can I ask, are you using apache or nginx as proxy?

[priapo]

@PitaJ can I ask you something, ./nodebb build uses to close after finishing? here is showing

29/12 22:57:21 [490] - info: [build] Building javascript
29/12 22:57:21 [490] - info: [build] Building client-side CSS
29/12 22:57:44 [490] - info: [build] js => Completed in 22.595s

but it doesn't finishes, for minutes.

[PitaJ]

@priapo yeah the build script should close after finishing. It looks like you may have some corruption. Have you tried git reset --hard origin/v1.x.x?

nginx

Running it on an Ubuntu server from DigitalOcean.

[priapo]

I tried installing it in the host instead of inside a cointainer, and the error continues the same

It returns a 404 error when acessing

https://thewizards.club/api/language/en-GB/admin%2Fadmin

But finds it when acessing

https://thewizards.club/api/language/en-GB/admin/admin

@PitaJ can you tell us what you did to install it? I followed the rules in the docs for the Ubuntu.

EDIT: also this

[PitaJ]

@priapo have you tried accessing without a reverse proxy?

[priapo]

@PitaJ connecting direct it works..

[lonestar]

I have the same issue as @TaLoche with 1.4.2 after upgrading from 1.4.1.

[PitaJ]

@priapo so it must be something related to the reverse proxy. Maybe it's an issue caused by some weird issue between the reverse proxy and NodeBB

[priapo]

It was solved; here is my working Apache's nodebb.conf:

I fixed it based on these resources:

[teh_g]

@priapo I wonder if there is something similar with nginx causing that?

[PitaJ]

@teh_g yes it appears that Nginx does the same thing. I could fix this by double encoding on both ends of NodeBB or something.

[priapo]

@teh_g I think if you google something like nginx proxy escaping you can find solutions on stackexchange/stackoverflow so you can update your nginx config..

I found the fix, it was shockingly easy!

The user guide suggests using the following config for nginx:

location / {
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567/;
    proxy_redirect off;

    # Socket.IO Support
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}

I had to change the "proxy_pass" line to remove the trailing "/":

location / {
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567;
    proxy_redirect off;

    # Socket.IO Support
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
