nodebb can not stop

fstdesk

hi,

while nodebb is running succesfully i tried stop nodebb but i notified as nodebb already stopped but infact it is running and not stopped. After try ./nodebb start i get below error.

ubuntu@ip-179:/var/www/NodeBB$ ./nodebb stop
NodeBB is already stopped.
ubuntu@ip-179:/var/www/NodeBB$ ./nodebb start

Starting NodeBB
"./nodebb stop" to stop the NodeBB server
"./nodebb log" to view server output
"./nodebb restart" to restart NodeBB

events.js:141
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/var/www/NodeBB/logs/output.log'
at Error (native)
ubuntu@ip-179:/var/www/NodeBB$

thanks.

note: nodebb is running succesfully still.

You somehow messed up your permissions.

Try recursive claiming the NodeBB directory

sudo chown -R ubuntu /var/www/NodeBB

thank you @yariplus but not worked. it did not stop. after sudo chown -R ubuntu /var/www/NodeBB my ./nodebb log is below

@atozsoft If you want to stop NodeBB and the loader has lost track of where it is running, find it in your system process table by running ps aux | grep node

The second column will be the pid (process identifer) for the matched results. e.g.

julian           55973   0.1  1.6  3181136 134924 s000  S+    9:44AM   0:03.39 /some/path/node app.js --log-level=info

Terminate it by using kill:

kill 55973
