    Hi, I'm using NodeBB v1.12.0 on Debian 9, I use an Nginx reverse proxy that also does SSL. I'm having problems uploading .jpg pictures to threads. The .jpg I'm trying to upload is 880.4 kB in size, it's dimensions are 1536x1152 pixels.

    Below are the errors produced when I try to upload a .jpg, I've replaced my real domain name with mydomain.com

    I remember that error. Do you have checked file ownership?

    Fix with

    chown -R nodebb_nodebb directory/

    What node version are you on? Try Node 10 if you haven't already.

    @PitaJ So this is strange. I downgraded the forums to v10.15.3 and still I'm getting errors when uploading photos.

    I've rebooted the system, and rebuilt/updated NodeBB and still have this issue.

    @wayne-workman have you tried deleting node_modules and running npm install again? That will rebuild the dependencies, hopefully it will work.

    @PitaJ Your suggestion did work - but I had a lot of problems doing it, partly because of my own fault. Here's what happened.

    I went into node_modules and just did a rm -rf * in there, emptying out the dir. Then I tried to run the ./nodebb install and it failed with several dependency errors. I tried sorting them out, but decided to take a copy of the node_modules directory from my home-based POC nodebb box that is using node 10.15.3, and I shipped that up to the prod forums - and put it into place, fixing ownership, and starting nodebb - and that worked, and it appears now that I can upload images. Awesome.

    I respectfully suggest you advise folks to make backups of directories when you ask them to remove directories. The better of us of course take backups before hand - and normally I do but didn't this time (I'm too trusting). The lesser of us don't think of these things - and reminders go a long ways.

    Again, thanks for your help @PitaJ you can consider this one solved!
