What is your url in config.json? At which address are you accessing the site? When you start nodebb it should show a log like this [socket.io] Restricting access to origin: ... please post that as well.

Changing the url solved it. Thanks.

Hello,
I'm having the exact same problem here. I've tried changing localhost for my IP address on config.json and I'm still having the same error.

here's my config.json file:
{
"url": "http://my.ip.adress:4567",
"secret": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx",
"database": "mongo",
"mongo": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "27017",
"username": "nodebb",
"password": "nodebb",
"database": "nodebb"
}
}

Do you guys have any idea on what is happening?

The ip in the browser is not equal to the IP in the config.json

These settings worked for me.

{
"url": "http://192.168.1.1:4567",
"secret": "XXXXXXXXXXXX",
"database": "mongo",
"mongo": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "27017",
"username": "nodebb",
"password": "mypassword",
"database": "nodebb",
"uri": ""
},
"port": "4567"
}

From the Commandline Terminal, first stop and then start nodebb

./nodebb stop

./nodebb start
