Nodebb constantly restarting!

kimikelku

Today i restarted my website and now im getting 502 Bad Gateway, if i do ./nodebb status it says its running but every time i do it its in a diferent pid so i guess its constantly restarting?
Im clueless on what to do here.

Ok i did ./nodebb reset plugins and its working, i guess its a problem with a plugin.
On the log above it says this:

Could not minify LESS/CSS: './nodebb-plugin-youtube/style.css' wasn't found
warn: [plugins/nodebb-plugin-mentions] In the event of an unresponsive NodeBB caused by this plugin, run ./nodebb reset plugin="nodebb-plugin-mentions". ```
Can the youtube or mentions plugin be the problem?

EDIT: im starting the plugins one by one and when i get to the youtube plugin i cant start back nodebb, how do i disable just the youtube plugin?
With the dev command it shows the same error as above for youtube, so should i unistall it from the acp and install it back again?

2EDIT: Manage to disable it, unistall it and install it back again and it works, but the size of the video is really small how do i increase it?

3EDIT: I guess it was a problem with the cache in my browser, thanks for the help @a_5mith .

Hello guys,

I have a problem with my forum. Nodebb keeps restarting. I can't access the home page of the forum, but I still have access to the admin panel, which is weird, but every 20 secondes, it keeps refreshing itself.
I have deactivated all the plugins, restarted the whole thing, but the issue is still there.

I did create a poll just before all this began, I don't know if it's related and if that plugin was or is v0.0.6 compatible.

Is anyone around to help me out? I'll pay good virtual beer!

Here's the result of ./nodebb dev

Thanks to the admin panel, I disabled the category where I had created my new topic with a poll (I did manage to delete it before I lost access to my forum) and my forum works again.

Is there anyway I can figured out what's bothering this category? Or move the topics inside it somewhere else so I can purge it?

TaLoche

Bloody hell! I took out the recent replies option on the category causing trouble. I changed it from 2 to 0 and that solved the issue. I was able to activate the category again and everything is back to normal.

I'm guessing the poll was bothering the preview on the homepage.
