@Atayz That seems to have cleared that error starting in dev but still cannot start normally. I get this.

0 info it worked if it ends with ok 1 verbose cli [ '/usr/bin/node', '/usr/bin/npm', 'install', '--production' ] 2 info using [email protected] 3 info using [email protected]
So have you upgraded it? Please provide the output of

Yes I updated it as suggested on another thread here and it had cleared some errors. Here is the out put of ./nodebb.info

Didn't notice this before, but you installed NodeBB v1.7.5, was that on purpose? The latest version is 1.17.2

I did not do on purpose ? Damn..can i update in terminal?
-
OK,
I did ./nodebb update and the ./nodebb start and it page is there and running.
Could someone send me a link or instruction how to keep it alive and start again if server reboots?
My other app i do that with PM2. Can i do same with nodebb.
Thank you all for the help. Huge appreciation.

@sampo2910
./nodebb update
does not actually update your NodeBB version. You have to do that with git. I recommend starting over from scratch unless you've made a bunch of changes. -
