@nhl-pl The issue is that i cant change the theme now since it logged me out of my admin account and i cant log in at all because of the error and i dont know how to reset it via the database. I updated and it worked fine but after it was done updating i picked the slick theme and rebuilt it and it started to the errors

<baris>

You can reset the theme from the cli with ./nodebb reset -t then rebuilt restart

Have you tried npm install command to install dependencies as stated by phenomlab on Sudonix website?

phenomlab

@nhl-pl @dave1904 yes, this is how I resolved it for @cagatay.

I did
npm install [email protected] --force
but

"No matching version found for [email protected]"

Can you tell me which steps you did for your install of sharp?

EDIT: npm install fixed it for me. thanks @phenomlab

For whatever it is worth

I had to run a "rebuild & restart" in the ACP after upgrade from 3.5.0 > 3.6.1, for the ACP to register the 3.6.1 version, it was still alerting me to update to 3.61 from 3.5.0

I also got this error at the end of upgrading (before running the ACP rebuild-restart) post ./nodebb start command:

Error: kill EPERM

However the NodeBB install appears to work

Hi @baris

Thanks for opening this topic.

I am currently running v.2.8.1 and need to upgrade to the latest (v3.6.3).

I plan to shut down my current VM and choose a different provider. I will be taking a dump from the current MongoDB and backing up public uploads so I can connect the same DB with v3.6.3.

I did some reading but could not find anything that says that there is any discrepancy between a v2.x db and a v3.x db. Neither have I had a chance to perform this on a test server yet so was wondering to perform the upgrade as above in a totally new VM whether I need to:

Install my current version on a new VM, restore the dump and connect the DB and public uploads, and then upgrade that to v3.6.3
Install v3.6.3 in one go on a new VM, restore the dump and connect the DB and public uploads

Any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks

<baris>

@yasas that should work, during the upgrade to 3.x there will be some scripts that will update the schema for some keys.

Hi @baris
Thanks for the response.

Install my current version on a new VM, restore the dump and connect the DB and public uploads, and then upgrade that to v3.6.3
* Install v3.6.3 in one go on a new VM, restore the dump and connect the DB and public uploads

Do you mean that instead of installing v3.6.3 straightaway and restoring the DB dump (dumped from v2.8.1 earlier), it would be wiser to install v2.8.1 on a new VM, restore the db dump, and then upgrade to V3.6.3?
