Error installing NodeBB with Mongo

Technical Support
  • T

    I'm not able to finish NodeBB installation using MongoDB. After this:

    Now configuring mongo database:
    prompt: MongoDB connection URI: (leave blank if you wish to specify host, port, username/password and database individually)
    Format: mongodb://[username:password@]host1[:port1][,host2[:port2],...[,hostN[:portN]]][/[database][?options]]:

    I get this: error: uncaughtException: Cannot read property 'value' of null
    TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of null

    MongoDB is running normally.
    I have tested with MongoDB version 4.0.19 and version 4.2. None of them worked...

    No problem installing with Redis.

    Could anyone help me with this?

    Do you get the error when you leave the connect URI blank and press enter? What version of nodejs? I tested just now on latest master and worked fine on mongodb.

    @baris thank you for replying. I get this error leaving the connect URI blank or filling it. My installed nodejs version is 12.18.3. What's your NodeBB and MongoDB version?

    @guts I meant no offense, I was just quickly providing a resource in the case that you hadn't looked at it before. Also, the docs that @yariplus linked are the outdated ones, whereas the ones I linked are more up-to-date.

    Hi, I use Litespeed actually for my other domains and they are on the same server so can I delete the config.json file in this case?

    I don't know anything about lightspeed, but I can tell you that config.json is completely separate from the reverse proxy you decide to use. config.json is generated by ./nodebb setup and is located in the nodebb directory.

    Do I have to use Ngynx in addition of Litespeed?

    Probably not, but you'll have to look up how to do the same things that nginx does when using our example config files and apply that to Lightspeed.

    I already have a database but where do I have to specify it during the setup?

    If you run ./nodebb setup after deleting config.json, it will ask you for settings for your database.

    How do I delete the config.json file?

    rm /path/to/nodebb/config.json

    My apologies but it becomes hard to follow... I followed a tuto on Youtube by entering some commands via SSH but this becomes hard to do so if someone can paste an exemple, it will be great and it will help.

    An example for what? Unfortunately it's difficult to reduce installation into quick examples.

    This is the peak today(about 75% of history peak).

    Total: 13965 (kernel 0) TCP: 46823 (estab 13808, closed 32768, orphaned 231, synrecv 0, timewait 32768/0), ports 0 Transport Total IP IPv6 * 0 - - RAW 0 0 0 UDP 0 0 0 TCP 14055 10241 3814 INET 14055 10241 3814 FRAG 0 0 0

    0_1478143628965_upload-11fe38fe-e73a-4561-a8eb-0ccceb91c223

    Actually, the performance today is better and fast after I applied a change in config:

    "socket.io": { "transports": ["websocket"] }

    That issue was at this link.

    For Azure, perhaps this helps?

    Otherwise, our standard point of reference: https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/configuring/proxies.html

    Yeah, might need to just clear cache.

    Also made a couple changes to the chat styling this morning for vanilla, might help.
