UNSOLVED New Installation - "Connection to NodeBB has been lost"

[MEricson]

Everything seems to function 'read-only' but I can't create new topic or save any admin changes.

There are error messages about connection to NodeBB being lost.

Node 2.1.0
NodeBB 1.4.6
Redis 3.2.3

Are there any error messages in your log file? Can you post your config.json with secrets removed?

Node 2.1.0

There is no node 2.1.0 version afaik you need at least nodejs 4.x+

@MEricson, post your config.json file.

When you browse to your forum, you need to use the same address that is in your config.json file.

for example, if your URl is http://localhost:4567, you need to browse to http://localhost:4567 to access your forum.

My bad! I have node 6.10.1 installed.

@Alex-Fiala-0 That was the issue! The config.json had

"url": http://localhost:4567"

but I needed my domain name

@MEricson, is everything functioning correctly?

i had same issue and solved it by edit config.json as this

{
"url": "http://myurl.com",
"secret": "..................",
"database": "redis",
"redis": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "6379",
"password": "?????",
"database": "0"
}
}
