Migrating Forums from one server to another
-
So I have a nodebb forum I need to migrate to this other forum. I did a backup of the database (dump.rdb) I am using redis and moved it to the new servers dump.rdb. When I run nodebb it says schema error out of date do ./nodebb upgrade (1.9.1 to 1.9.1 so no difference) and when it runs it works fine but then when I load onto the website it shows the navbar stretched across the screen like this:
I have a lot of user data that is irreplaceable is there anyway to save this?

@militantmario the image isn't showing up

Sorry about that @PitaJ the image wasn't showing up. So I noticed when I did the ./nodebb upgrade it was skipping all the scripts to upgrade. Should be an updated picture

Are there any errors when you run
./nodebb buildand restart? -
No errors same screen.

While I was waiting for a response it gave me this error.

If you're getting that error, then redis can't write to disk, which means that some kind of misconfiguration of redis is causing this issue.

I uninstalled redis and reinstalled it but it keeps giving me this error every time I try and load it in with the nodebb database

I suggest you search for these errors on Google. Here's an answer for the "unable to persist" error: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19581059/misconf-redis-is-configured-to-save-rdb-snapshots
