Hi There,
I upgraded my version of both Node.Js and NodeBB to 6.9 and 1.4.2 respectively.
I encountered a variety of problems that I needed to get my head around.
The forum is SSL only, and load balanced using NGINX.
/var/www/nodebb/public/src/modules/helpers.js
This file here was accessing
data.config.loggedIn
When data.config was undefined. So obviously NPE and crashed.
I added
if(properties && data.config)
To mitigate this problem.
Once this had been sorted, I then was able to reach my forum, but none of the pages would load.
After looking at this I noticed NodeBB was serving up pages from / then appending the config.json url then the path.
Obviously this led to:
/https://www.example.com/path/to/resource
This didn't exist and thus NPE crash.
So hackily I've set my URL to /.
So now resources look like they are being referenced, albeit hackily ///path/to/resource
Is this a bug, or is this something I have set up incorrectly.
I've posted this here so that others can find it if they need to.
Kind regards,
Calum
@pichalite Thank you for the response.
That was most peculiar, but I reset the config.json to be how it was and it stopped having this error.
Besides I still think it's best to check data.config, before extracting data.config.loggedin anyway.
