Hi again,
So it seems that the Nodebb is finally installed however i am unable to access it on http://mydropletip:4567
Here is the config.json file
"url": "http://localhost:4567",
"secret": "91cc276d-611c-415c-9c73-7fb12e44930g",
"database": "mongo",
"mongo": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "27017",
"username": "dbusername",
"password": "password3",
"database": "dbname",
"uri": ""
}
also when i try to check whether nodebb is running fine or not i got these 2 errors
error: NodeBB address in use, exiting... Error: listen EADDRINUSE 0.0.0.0:4567

@juliereader that error means it is running. Look up "kill process on port" and Jill the process on port 4567. You can alternatively kill all node processes.
@juliereader You should probably change the password for mongo, since you posted it publicly.
The URL value in the config.json also needs to match what you are trying to connect to. You have localhost specified, but you need to use "mydropletip"
@pitaj but i cant access it on http://mydroplerIp:4567 its giving me 500 error
@teh_g said in Installation Error:

the pass is dummy pass not real 
and where do I use the droplet ip ?
in HOST value or in URL value ?
