PitaJ

That ./nodebb dev error is because NodeBB is already running. You have to ./nodebb stop first

fstdesk

@PitaJ thanks.

after stop. dev results

@atozsoft have you tried disabling all plugins with ./nodebb reset -p? That's not the entire dev log, can you get it all?

What version of Node.js are you using? Have you tried re-running npm install? What kind of vps do you have? We need as much information as you can give us because I've never seen this before.

fstdesk

i will try. node:6.10.3 . ubuntu 16.04 on aws. 1 gb ram. 8 gb ssd.

PitaJ

@atozsoft try either increasing the memory or adding a fairly large swap partition (~ 2 GB). This could have been caused by the npm install failing due to it running out of memory.

fstdesk

@PitaJ thank you. i will try more ram.

i tried ./nodebb reset -p and npm install . now i can not login, got forbidden error.

fstdesk

@PitaJ tried with 2gb ram. same result.

PitaJ

@atozsoft what did you try with 2gb ram? Does npm install complete successfully? What does your terminal look like?

fstdesk

@PitaJ fresh install. i used this tutarial for node. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-16-04

@atozsoft is that on apt-get install npm or what?

fstdesk

@PitaJ yes same command but it gives above error.

PitaJ

In https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-16-04 there are several different possibilities given for installing node. Which did you use?

fstdesk

@PitaJ second one with PPA

note; i have no reputation so i can not sent fast reply.

PitaJ

@atozsoft ok so what do the following commands output:

node -v
npm -v

fstdesk

root@ip-179:~# node -v

PitaJ

@atozsoft ok first of all, you don't need to sudo su if you're gonna write sudo with all the other commands.

Secondly, you don't need to apt-get install nodejs of you use curl install script way.

Also, don't git clone, npm install, or nodebb setup with sudo. It can mess up permissions.

fstdesk

but this instruction is from https://nodebb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing/os/ubuntu.html

PitaJ

@atozsoft it is possible that those instructions are wrong. Regardless they don't have the apt get install nodejs.
