[Solved] Cannot change settings

[Marco]

@Giorgio-Chiodi nope, I had a problem with Redis, so I use MongoDB. I also use a proxy (NGINX) which I configured according to the wiki so that I can use Port 80 for all incoming traffic to the server (PHP, Node,...)

@Marco Does the ACP work properly when you access your instance with a port?

[Marco]

@julian nighttime is the best time of the day^^ well, I changed the configuration so that I can access nodebb directly (without NGINX) and got the same result: I cannot change the settings, upload anything, use custom CSS rules, edit categories,...

[Marco]

@julian @baris @psychobunny @Giorgio-Chiodi Problem solved. I updated the themes npm i [email protected] [email protected] (julian's proposal) and now I can change my settings again, disable categories, etc.
So I would suggest that you add up2date themes to the current installation of nodebb or - even better - have nodebb check if all used themes and plugins are up2date and warn the user about it (will make feature proposal for this)

As I said, I installed a clean new copy of nodebb (as described in the docs) and I could not use it at all. This problem might scare away admins, so it would help everyone if it got fixed

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@Marco I did scare me. So is this fixed when pulling the fresh code from Nodebb? @julian

[Marco]

@Giorgio-Chiodi In my case it is fixed. Still doing some testing, but it looks good

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@Marco did you just do this command?

  npm i [email protected] [email protected]

I think I'm missing something. Did you also do another

./nodebb upgrade

?

[Giorgio Chiodi]

@Marco @julian Ah yes it's working now. So basically the theme files weren't updated in the github package?

[julian]

The themes are downloaded separately, when you do npm install the first time. Problem is it seems sometimes npm doesn't install the latest theme files.

@julian

Ok, I just made a new AWS install, and the bug is not there anymore.

npm i [email protected] [email protected]

also fixes the problem
