    @RandomAnimeGamer what you mean it recommends specifying a port? Here's a quote from the guide:

    Note: When entering your site URL, make sure it is exactly what you plan on accessing your site at. If you plan on visiting http://example.org to open your forum, then enter exactly http://example.org.

    Hi,

    Let say, I have a site (not a NodeBB site) and it has a newsletter form where users can subscribe by filling in their names & email addresses. After they hit submit, I'd like to redirect to the the forum site (Registration page).

    Is it possible to pass variables (eg: email address/username) to Registration page via query string?
    For example, https://community.nodebb.org/register?username=jack&[email protected]

    What I want to achieve is to since users have filled their information earlier, albeit on a different site, the Registration form should have a prefilled form (ie: name and email address).

    Thanks

    @JJSagan Yes, that is normal, just an informative echo to indicate that the process has started.

    I'm not 100% sure.

    I have "failed" to install NodeBB on a DigitalOcean Droplet about 25 times by now. Seriously, I'm not exaggerating. The people at DO must have wondered "wtf is this guy doing?" because I was creating and destroying Droplets non-stop for days.

    I think what made the difference for me this time was not installing redis or nodejs as per the official NodeBB install document. Instead, I only installed the Chris Lea files.

    I was so tired to trying different methods of installation I actually started keeping a log of what I was doing. I got it down to where only a few lines would change, and I am pretty sure this is what finally worked for me (remember, this is on a DO Droplet running Ubuntu 14.04 x64):

    add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server apt-get update apt-get install redis-server apt-get update apt-get install git apt-get install build-essential apt-get install imagemagick apt-get install python-software-properties add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade mkdir nodebb git clone git://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB.git nodebb cd nodebb npm install node app --setup
    - only modify first line where I enter my server's address http://your.server.ip.address (without the port) and hit 'Enter' for all other options node app
    - Now you can go to http://your.server.ip.address:4567 to see the forum

    I have try this but when i go to npm install
    i get this :
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    PD.
    Got fixed with :

    apt-get remove --purge nodejs npm
    curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash -
    apt-get install nodejs
