Upgraded NodeBB To V1.4.2 Errors

[Calum122]

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

@Calum122 post your config.json and Nginx config

@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.
