@arkoma Nah, you're missing some of the line breaks:

[Unit]
Description=NodeBB
Documentation=https://docs.nodebb.org
After=system.slice multi-user.target mongod.service

[Service]
Type=simple
User=nodebb

StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=nodebb

WorkingDirectory=/path/to/nodebb
ExecStart=/usr/bin/env node loader.js --no-silent --no-daemon
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Try a different browser? Which install guide are you using?

Arkoma

@julian I'm using this guide https://nodebb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing/os/ubuntu.html

I'm looking at it in Chrome on Linux Mint Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

I put in the line breaks
I notice that you don't have this line that I do
Environment=NODE_ENV=production

Arkoma

This post is deleted!

@arkoma It looks like nodebb defaults to running as production, unless you pass some other value to NODE_ENV, so that line will have no effect.

@arkoma use https://docs.nodebb.org

Arkoma

Ok I think it's running. Now how do I look at it in my browser. haha
I have a AWS free tier instance

PitaJ

Your AWS instance has an IP address or maybe even a normal address. You can use that to connect on port 4567

Arkoma

@pitaj Yeah, that's not working. Most likely I don't know what I'm doing, but it just times out.

This is what I have in the console

9/3 03:16:20 [1786] - info: NodeBB Ready
9/3 03:16:20 [1786] - info: Enabling 'trust proxy'
9/3 03:16:20 [1786] - info: NodeBB is now listening on: 0.0.0.0:4567

I go here
http://ec2-34-213-181-70.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:4567/

and it just hangs

Arkoma

I finally figured it out.
It's up and running at
http://34.217.204.98:4567/

Although I get a message saying "looks like your connection to nodebb was lost" hmm... I'm going to have to search for another thread related to that.

Arkoma

Fixed it. addresses didn't match. between my actual ip and the config.json file
