URGENT, Cannot install on Rocky 9

General Discussion
  • I can do that but I would have thought the restore would have taken care of that.
    There are still some things I have to click more than once but maybe it's because of the slowness.
    Here are some of those but I'll run your commands and see what happens.

  • Stop your forum and remove the offending keys until you can run the index create command.
    db.objects.removeMany({_key: "analyticsKeys"});

    Then try db.objects.createIndex({ _key: 1, value: -1 }, { background: true, unique: true, sparse: true }); again.

    I'm assuming it's because I'm not including the offending keys?

  • Sorry it's db.objects.deleteMany({_key: "analyticsKeys"});

  • Ok, ran all four then ran build and restarted the board.

    However, I did install it when rebuilding the board.

    $ history | grep question
       63  npm install nodebb-plugin-question-and-answer
      162  history | grep question
    

    I've re-installed it and ran build again.
    This time, no complaints so I started the board again.
    Few complaints coming up but the board came up.

    The errors keep showing up but the board is running now.
    I'll test everything I can and see how it's going now.

  • You guys should really offer some kind of paid support. I spent so many hours on this, I would have been happy to pay a few bucks to have this solved quickly.

  • You can ignore those scss warnings, they will be fixed once bootswatch updates their scss files.

  • Is it too early to understand what happened? I can document all of the steps I took. Every time I goofed something up because I could not find enough documentation, I noted that and tried again so that eventually, I had all the steps needed. However, I still ended up with these problems.. maybe others?

  • You had 2 different problems .

    Your package.json had a broken version for request-promise-native and you didn't have indices when you restored your database.

    Not sure how the first one happened but the missing indices happens when you only export the objects collection from mongodb. If you want to export the whole database you can use mongodump --db <name_of_db>

  • But how do you think it originally started?

    The fact that my backup had a broken package.json means it was a while that this started ago.
    The indexes, I've no idea since all I did was to restore.

    All looks ok now but one weird thing. I noticed there was an upgrade so I upgraded. The text showed upgrade completed without errors but on the back end, it still shows 3.1.4 upgrade available. Also, can I get back to persona now?

  • @NodeHam did you stop NodeBB before attempting the upgrade?

  • Yes, I always do.
    I just found it crashed again. This time, when I restarted it, now it shows that it's running 3.1.4.
    I'll keep the log open in a shell session and maybe catch some error.

  • So far, no problems since it stopped. I should not say it crashed, only that I found it stopped but it's been working since.

  • Well, I just found it crashed again. It seemed to be running fine then this.

    While this seems to be OS related, the forum won't come up. I then ran 'nodebb build' and restarted it and it came up but with some errors.

  • @NodeHam Are you sure you added the forum to autorun when you restart the server?

    This warnings from bootswatch about errors in default styles, you can ignore this.

  • What's autorun? I just run './nodebb start'

  • @NodeHam it's essentially systemd which is a daemon like a startup script that executes when the server reboots.

  • LOL, I thought a nodebb option was being mentioned.
    Yes, I usually have it set as a service but I wanted to monitor it for a while before doing that on the new server.
