Have you tried restarting? Rebuilding? Running with ./nodebb slog?

Tiktak

cd /home/yourname/nodebb
./nodebb stop
./nodebb build
./nodebb start

Thank you for coming back to me,

Alas, I tried that

Not luck, it's still just a grey website for now =/

And if I click login, I can't even log in :s

@Annihil Could this be contributing to the problem, no up address is attached to the port to listen on?

Make sure the database information in config.json is correct, it seems nodebb is connecting to an empty redis database.

@rod
No that's right. It shows the same message to me, but my forum works just fine.
the problem is this line
[benchpressjs] Unable to build or find a suitable native module, falling back to JS version
it means nodebb is unable to find node_modules, meaning package json file is damaged or missing. I would open the package.json file and add the following line in dependencies.

"benchpressjs": "^1.2.5",

linuxlover

@Tiktak
After adding "benchpressjs": "^1.2.5" to the package.json, and running npm install, I still have this error:

[benchpressjs] Unable to build or find a suitable native module, falling back to JS version

I ran ./nodebb build again, still no luck =/

How could I fix that?

Edit:

~/nodebb$ cat config.json
{
    "url": "https://*******.com",
    "secret": "********-****-****-****-************",
    "database": "redis",
    "port": 4567,
    "redis": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": "6379",
        "password": "",
        "database": "0"
    }
}

My config.json seems correct

@Tiktak you're entirely incorrect about that benchpress warning. It's a warning, not an error. I should make that more clear. It simply means that compiling templates will be slower, so ./nodebb build will take longer.

@Annihil said in Forum completely gone:

I saw a similar problem here. perhaps you can try it out?

Alright, the redis database seemed find at first look (KEYS *), but checking with DBSIZE, the number of keys was only 1300, whereas it was 10 times bigger before, so I rolled back a previous dump, and it's working fine now. Don't know what happened, anyway, it's back to normal
Sorry for the trouble!

And keep up the outstanding work

Check your redis logs. I believe there is an issue with your redis config being unable to persist to disk, therefore when your database restarts, everything is lost.
