DB structure / connection of threads and posts ... post double displayed in different threads

[tecy]

Hi all,

some things about me:
I am an IT guy, but have nearly no experince with mongo. Used to work with php/mysql, "oldscool"stuff

Some things about my system:
Ubuntu 18 Server
Mongo v3.6.3
nodeBB v.1.10.0 (latest yesterday)

I have a notebb forum running, and some weird things happen.
A post was posted, but is displayed ion two "different" threads.

Why

I would like to know how threads and post are connected. Is there any database structure available?

The "problem record" is in objects.

_key = post:2952
pid = 2952
uid = 10
tid = 9
toPid = 2951

So what for is pid, uid, tid and toPid?

This record is displayed in:

• topic/172/zitat-des-tages/37
  and in:
• topic/9/wanderwochenende/13

Anybody any clue, why this happens?
I have none - sorry ...

Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Any help highly appreciated.

Kind regards,
tecy

pid = the unique post id, this never changes
uid = the id of the user who posted it, this never changes
tid = the id of the topic this post is currently in, this changes if the post is moved between topics
toPid = posts can be direct replies to other posts, in which case this field stores the post which is being replied to

A post shouldn't be in multiple topics.

Hi all,
thanks for the reply.
Made the steps & structure clearer to me

I imported an Backup and the stuff is running like a charm.
But when I have a look at the logs, I always see stuff like this:

88.xx.xxx.xx - - [28/Sep/2018:16:47:32 +0000] "GET /error_docs/internal_server_error.html HTTP/1.1" 404 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0"

If I call directly:

• https://example.com/error_docs/internal_server_error.html

an error appears, saying:

• error_docs/internal_server_error.html does not exists. go to startpage.

But actually the folder structure:

• /error_docs/internal_server_error.html
  exists in the nodebb "root" folder where the forum is installed.

Do I have a chance to get to know where this error comes from?

Would be great resolving this issue!

NodeBB does not server files from its root directory, you can put them in the public folder, so your path would be /path/to/nodebb/public/error_docs/internal_server_error.html

[PitaJ]

The most efficient way is to just put them in a separate directory and configure your reverse proxy to serve them statically.

@baris
I just duid that, same result:

an error appears, saying:
error_docs/internal_server_error.html does not exists. go to startpage.

Does it work if you don't put it in the error_docs/ subfolder?
