NodeBB doesn't start anymore, bugged after update

Solved Technical Support
  • Updated nodebb and I had an error with 'cwd' so I downgraded from node 9.. to 7.10.0 and now it just says that it tried 10 times and halted...

    Thats what I get on upgrade

  • That is super weird. What version of NodeBB is this? And what steps did you use to install?

  • I managed to solve it, reinstalled from scratch.

    FYI - I checked my Digital Ocean droplet and it said that Ubuntu needs a restart. Restarted everything and have my privileges back.

    Actually quite a nice system. Otherwise you would need to either check regularly if a ban has expired and thus probably do a lot of unnecessary checks, or you would need to predict when the next ban expiration will be and thus probably introduce a lot of bugs with the prediction code.

    What might be interesting is a feature request, to not show the flag if the expiration has happened. I assume the flag is stored with a timestamp for when the ban will expire. Thus it should be possible to filter it out when displayed. But actually remove it when the user logs in.

    My login page is (almost) entirely blank on my production server but works ok on dev and staging (heroku). I can see the home page and I can create an account and see the profile page, but I cannot login to an existing account:

    There are no javascript errors in the browser and no errors in the server side log:
