Hell of installation

Technical Support
  • R

    I own VPS server and i was thinking create nodebb.
    When i saw the installation "process" i gave up.
    Im years in the industry but never saw something complicated to install like that.

    And that i think, is too bad. This forum system is great but why we must form it straight on apache instead installing the normal way (3 steps install, db etc)?

    I must say that as a programmer i want to give from my knowledge and experiencewith, but that installation process killed me.

    @rami7250 honestly. Its not anywhere near complicated, except you are on a beginner level.

    If you want a complete guide you can check the Tutorials section for a guide I made or just read the docs step by step. A complete setup (scratch) takes less than 30 minutes if you do it by hand. With a bash script you can do it fully automated.

    I really like that forum and want to give some efforts, but man 30 minutes for installation?
    I own VPS Apache WHM server based on centos 6
    What exactly should i do in bash script?

    Also, what resources it takes from the server? (not in installation process but in used daily)

    @pitaj yep that was it, turns out the Bitnami Stack displays a different version that I is actually running and isn't updatable. had to build a server from scratch turned out to be a good thing in the end.

    omg nevermind,
    I was missing nodebb directory in home
    so just mkdir nodebb in home and sudo chown nodebb:nodebb nodebb/ does the job

    The error message is telling you that it can't access/save the file. Make sure the user you are running the commands has the proper permissions.

    I wondered that too, I was using a user I specifically created for this task in order to not use the root user as I thought it was not a good practice to do. Especially since the instructions indicate a sudo user. Usually I can figure out permission issues, but for some reason I have not been able to solve this one. The installation does get further when using the root user, so there is definitely a permission issue.

    The error I get now is related to the connection of the Redis database. I get a connection refused error when using the IP of the server.

    The abort error shows the IP address and default port number so I have no idea how to connect the database.

    Here's the latest console information ...

    Thanks ... Pops
