Check the permissions in the src directory.

It looks like permission is denied to ./nodebb specifically. Did you try changing the permissions on it with chmod? I think sudo chmod 777 nodebb might do the trick.

That seemed to work for ./nodebb log!

Something else I should test before deleting build directory and running ./nodebb build? Do I even need to do this? Should I try upgrading?

It's probably due to the permissions issues. You might have the best luck just starting from scratch in mike's home directory. Or create a new nodebb user for it.

You can always copy over any uploads you had from the old install. In order to actually stop nodebb you can probably use pkill node.

Do you think attempting your suggestion above and using ./nodebb build might be worth a shot before starting from scratch?

I don't know. Make a backup and try whatever you want.

Sounds good. Thanks for all of your help and pointing me in the right direction! I'll mess with it and see what I can figure out.
