Stopped and will not start again

[Tanner]

Hello,

The forum stopped at some point during the middle of the night and when I attempt to start it up, it says it has started but the page will not load. ./nodebb status returns that it is running but after a restart still it does not load.

Attempted git pull and ./nodebb upgrade but to no avail.

Has anyone else run in to this issue? If so, could you provide a suggestion for a fix?

[julian]

Do you see it running if you execute ps aux | grep node?

If not... delete pidfile and try starting it again.

[Tanner]

I deleted pidfile and attempted to start it again but I am encountering the same problem. It says that it is running yet the page does not load.

@Tanner Try running ./nodebb dev and share the results.

Looks like that's your problem.

Interesting. Not sure how that would have occurred. How would one go about reinstalling nodebb-widget-essentials from command line?

[dylenbrivera]

@dylenbrivera ./nodebb reset plugin="nodebb-widget-essentials"

Give that a shot. You might want to re-enable those afterward.

Nope, didn't solve the issue.

@Tanner Can you output ./nodebb dev again, now since you reset the troublesome plugin?

[Tanner]

./nodebb dev now returns this:

Launching NodeBB in "development" mode.

@julian should I weather this out to see if we can solve the problem or simply try a fresh install?

Gotcha! nodebb-plugin-metro-tiles totally messed up my nodebb setup as well. Reset that one with ./nodebb reset plugin="nodebb-plugin-metro-tiles"

[Tanner]

Already did that to no avail, unfortunately.

[dylenbrivera]

If you did that, why is nodebb still looking for nodebb-plugin-metro-tiles/css/style.css

[Tanner]

That's a very good question, but I did it after the last time I posted the ./nodebb dev results so it wouldn't show up now.

I think in lieu of a solution I'm going to do a fresh install.

[dylenbrivera]

Was it a fairly new install?

[Tanner]

No it was a couple of weeks old.

Fresh install solved a couple of the other issues I was having as well.
