Can't upload logo

[Sandeep]

hi i use the U:G as root:root

the logo is uploaded as i stated above nodebb is spinning the child process and I'm unable to save the logo from gui admin (as well as the touchicon having the same issue) favicon icon uploaded just fine and I'm able to use it. The Issue is logo upload and touchicon.

@julian can you please look into it ?

[julian]

Don't run NodeBB as root. chown the entire directory as an unprivileged user and run NodeBB as that user.

[Sandeep]

@julian yes done still the same issue, U/G is now a user

[julian]

The segmentation fault isn't something related to NodeBB. Possibly one of our dependencies. I'd recommend deleting node_modules/ and running npm i --production again. Make sure you have build-essential meta package installed on your OS.

@julian said in Can't upload logo:

npm i --production

experiencing the same issue after following the instructions.

I'm sorry, I do not know how to resolve your issue, as it does not seem like a code problem with NodeBB, but a problem with your server or installation of Node.js, etc.

[Sandeep]

@julian favicon is uploading just fine, why the issue are only with uploading logo and touchicon ?
I didn't think its the issue with nodejs as its using official repo installation (centos 7)

[julian]

Please try using Ubuntu 18.04

I met just same probelm too when I try to install nodebb last day. I can upload favicon but can't upload any other images. I used the same centos7 and v12.15.0 node.js. I looked up the installation log, it shows some modules did not installed well. For me it were sharp and some other modules. I guess it's the sharp module which is used to crop the images uploaded caused this problem. Sharp module need 'CXXABI_1.3.8' to compile and my default yum source did not have the gcc version needed. Maybe you can upgrade your gcc version and try reinstalling it by using "npm install sharp"? Hope this can help.

[julian]

That is a good clue @BAKA, this is likely the issue. Perhaps sharp needs to be compiled manually by npm.

thanks @BAKA for the info, i'll install ubuntu 18.04 and get back here.

[Sandeep]

@julian thanks on ubuntu 18.04 there is no such issue. Centos 7 have issues which @BAKA mentioned with GCC version.

[Sandeep]

hopefully centos 8 doesn't have this issues thanks @BAKA

[Sandeep]

I've updated the gcc version but there is still the issue with RHEL/centos 7 @julian you should check nodebb compatibility with EL7. Else remove EL7 from the supported list.

[julian]

@Sandeep where do we say we support CentOS? Just wondering, because we shouldn't, we try to be platform agnostic but target Ubuntu mainly.

[Sandeep]

okay thanks, probably stop using nodebb then

remove the docs from here

Index - NodeBB Documentation

[julian]

@Sandeep yes, the CentOS guide here is community supported, it should still work regardless (though you'll likely need to install the build tools so sharp can compile).

[Sandeep]

sharp compiles fine no issue @julian

its on centos 7 :
