Reinstalling NodeBB

[baris]

@anooxy there is a pidfile in the nodebb directory, delete that and start the app again, looks like your nodebb crashed but that file was left behind.

[anooxy]

@baris Now I get this when opening via browse:

{"error":"Cannot find module './../../config.json'"}

Also I did a /nodebb setup (I know this was bad but I was desperate) and now I need to add the port to open my site. I tried to set as no for using port to no avail.

Are you running the app from the directory it is installed? Make sure you are in the same directory as app.js.

[anooxy]

@baris yes I am, it started successfully, that error comes when I access my site.

Can you post the contents of your config.json, remove the secrets.

Alright your forum seems to be running because I can access http://forums.onlinedigimon.com:4567/api/home

Probably one of the plugins you installed is causing that {"error":"Cannot find module './../../config.json'"} error.

Can you run the following commands to get a list of plugins that are active.

redis-cli
smembers plugins:active

[anooxy]

@baris There:

 1) "nodebb-widget-essentials"
 2) "nodebb-plugin-mentions"
 3) "nodebb-plugin-markdown"

Thank you for bearing with me.

Try to remove widget essentials and restart. See if that gets rid of the error, if not try removing the other plugins.

srem plugins:active nodebb-widget-essentials

[anooxy]

@baris No, nothing and this came up while restarting again:

 ./nodebb: line 36: kill: (30684) - No such process
