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:[email protected]]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?

    I have resolved this issue by adding the following rule to local_rules.xml.

    <rule id="100014" level="0">
    <if_sid>31533</if_sid>
    <url>^/socket.io/</url>
    <description>Ignoring NodeBB (socket.io).</description>
    </rule>

    I run into the same issue with nginx without any Cloudfare rules set for the forum and without any CDN active, so the webserver serves content directly.

    Fix:

    NodeBB
    config.json

    There should be no forward slash at the end which complies with the documentation:

    "url": "https://blabla.com/forum",

    nginx.conf

    here note the double slash on the first line /forum/

    The double slash solves the issue, at least during initial testing on different browsers and devices.
    Not sure if this is a Windows/nginx specific thing as the path's are set a bit different.

    [...] location /forum/ { proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true; # proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567; proxy_pass http://io_nodes; proxy_redirect off; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; }

    You should create a new topic.

    What local OS are you using?
