Authorization Failed NodeBB Setup

                                                **THIS HAS BEEN SOLVED**

    The problem was for some reason MongoDB didn't setup a directory automatically for /data/db and once I created that myself it worked flawlessly. However you do have to remake your users & DB!

    Hello! I've been trying to install NodeBB for the past hour and I keep hitting the same exact road block when run ./nodebb setup as a non-root (or even root) account.

    I've been following this guide: https://docs.nodebb.org/installing/os/debian/

    I'm running Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS with the latest updates & upgrades, I had 0 errors up until this point.

    mongo -u admin -p mypassword --authenticationDatabase=admin <-- This logs in successfully

    If I don't login with my admin account then I get authentication errors so I know authentication is working, here's my users in my nodebb database:

    I am unsure why this isn't working, I'm not sure what more information to provide but ask away and I'll send. This is a near stock Ubuntu Server installation. ☹

    Thank you in advance

    Try the Ubuntu docs instead of the Debian docs. They're more up to date.

    @baris said in Changes to theme .tpl files don't show live:

    @Jarko Yes the id field in plugin.json is not used, you need to change the name field in package.json

    ...and that was the issue indeed! Thank you! 💃

    I am spinning up a new community and found the following warnings during my install.

    Anything I should do about these?

    Dear all,

    as the topic title states I am trying to run a NodeBB forum on the shared hoster Uberspace. I am following the fairly recent guide from Til Zöller. It works fine until I change the user registration to "Admin Invite". Once a user tries to register he gets a registration error with the message

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>502 Proxy Error</title> </head><body> <h1>Proxy Error</h1> <p>The proxy server received an invalid
    response from an upstream server.<br />
    The proxy server could not handle the request <em><a href="/register">POST /register</a></em>.<p> Reason: <strong>Error reading from remote server</strong></p></p> <hr> <address>Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS) Server at xxx.xxx.uberspace.de Port 80</address> </body></html>

    Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Here's how I got NodeBB up and running on the Google Cloud Platform.
    The following are the steps I took:

    Created VPC firewall rule with 4567 port.

    Deployed Compute Engine VM Instance with Ubuntu Pro 20.04

    Install NodeBB via the Web Interface.

    Install Let's Encrypt Wildcard SSL on Nginx.

    The documentation for setting up NodeBB on Compute Engine can be found here.
