How long will it take before I could use my nodebb setup?

    I have installed nodebb on digital ocean following all the instructions. Pointed my dns to the server ip address. It has been a few hours and I am still not able to access the nodebb. Do anyone know how long after the initial setup will it take for me use nodebb. Is there another way I could check if the installation was successful.

    In theory it should be accessible immediately after installation, but let me ask you some questions:

    • Which instructions did you follow?
    • What do you mean by "not able to access the nodebb"? Can you expand this a bit?
    • Did you use the domain for something else previous to pointing it to your NodeBB? Could it be that your local DNS cache hasn't updated yet?

    @dravere Never mind. I figured it out myself. The issue was with nginx. I did not set it up properly. After fixing it now I have my nodebb setup just fine. Now I am facing a new issue. I'm able to access the forum from my mobile, but from desktop it redirects to nginx welcome page. Don't understand why.

    @gokg4 Try clearing your cache. Some browser even cache redirects. So if you got redirected previously it might continue to do so. At least that is usually my problem when this happens 🙂

    @dravere Thankyou. That worked. Configuring my forum now. NodeBB looks solid. Will update when it is live.

    Maybe Heroku doesnt allow the parameters like --no-silent --no-daemon

    I think I should start nodeBB on my local server

    Redis for Windows is not well supported. In fact, it's not even officially supported by Redis. I always use Mongo on Windows. (and I dev on Windows) because Redis is a pain to set up.

    Python is used for build scripts for dependencies AFAIK. This may no longer be necessary.

    @PitaJ Yes i wrote in 2 post first of this.

    I installed version 1.1.0 but when im logged , the site was again freezed. For this i deleted dump.rdb from redis folder and i redid "./nodebb setup" to re-create the database. After i tried to re-create the bug, for this i uploaded the same "Image/Logo" and change "Site Title" . But no problems.
    Now seems work all perfecly.

    There is a urgent bug in 1.1.2 . I think that there is a bug in the database.
    I noticed that at the beginning , before of the bug in 1.1.2 , the cover of profile didn't worked, the users upload the image , but was invisible "all white". Worked only the avatar.
    In 1.1.0 this bug there isn't and at the beginning , the cover of profile worked.
    There is something broken in 1.1.2 .....
