node app.jsdoes not work, the same results as./nodebb startI did not change the configuration for NodeBB and Nginx, it's the same from 2017
config.jsonthe most important part"url": "https://forum.xyz.in.ua", "port": "8081",NodeBB: 1.0.2
NodeJS: 5.9.1Also did not change them for a long period of time. Literally no changes in the system.

What happens when you attempt to access with
./nodebb start? Do you get an error? Can you try sending a request to your forum with curl on the server (port 8081)?Do you see anything in the logs? With
./nodebb slogdo you see it start up normally? -

Hmmm... has it been hacked?
Any strange user regs before it went down?
Maybe you can review the last few users who roistered. If it is open. Just a thought. I've had NodeBB go down like that. No time to check it out. Nothing works like it should. Wasn't an important install.
How it woudl happen is, admin woudl approve a user. Since this would be an no users, this user is the first. Within about 2/3 mins of approving use.. BANG!
NodeBb goes down. Nothing is working like it should, in a similar way as to you are describing.

Can you try sending a request directly to NodeBB with
curlon your server? (localhost:8081)Where was that error reported? Nginx logs?
Posting the last few lines of your startup log isn't really helpful, can you paste the whole thing? Post a startup log from
./nodebb devwhile you're at it for comparison.Can you try attaching NodeBB to a different port?
Have you tried deleting
node_modulesand thennpm install? On your version you might need to reinstall your plugins again. -
@pitaj
curlresult is similar to Nginx$ curl localhost:8081 Cannot GET /Connection refused error that I have posted before, from Nginx Error logs.
Considering the situation, currently, I'm not messing with dependencies or configs that would work without any issues. I did not touch NPM Modules, did not try to remap port.
By the way,
curl localhost:8081for NodeBB that I run in Dev mode./nodebb devreturns HTML, i.e. forum functionsWhat so special happens with the production start of the NodeBB that could stop working in such a fashion?
@omega interesting theory, I will see if any suspicious users were created last couple of days. But I'm the only admin.
@PitaJ thank you for brainstorming the potential issues. Here are full logs from NodeBB Start:

Warning for Dev mode is the same, and it works... -
@nicolas that is an express error, which is why I recommended reinstalling dependencies. I'm guessing this was just caused by a random file corruption that's only visible in production mode.
-
@nicolas huh? Mutating source files? I'm talking about cosmic rays flipping bits here.

@nicolas though I don't want to immediately suggest you upgrade from NodeBB v1.0.2 (that's a LONG time ago! haha... welcome back btw!)
I wonder if you ran
npm ietc and that upgraded you to packages that are no longer compatible with that version of core -
I did not do
npm install, I deactivated at this point 2 plugins that could depend on external services like Captcha and Twitch Monitor.Here is an example of Express, if I would install node modules likely express would update also:
