    After install, cd to your nodebb directory. Then run NodeBB in dev mode to get a read out on your terminal.

    cd nodebb
./nodebb dev

    user@int-user-malco-02:~/nodebb$ ./nodebb dev
    Launching NodeBB in "development" mode.
    To run the production build of NodeBB, please use "forever".

    [loader] Experienced three start attempts in 10 seconds, most likely an error on startup. Halting.

    I see you there @a_5mith, any ideas? I haven't ran into this yet.

    @Ted Try npm install in your nodebb folder.

    EDIT: I've not used a Mongo server before, so my knowledge is pretty limited. You could also try running ./nodebb setup again and just confirming through all the steps. Then when it gets to the end, it may install any missing depencies.

    If those don't work, I'd wait for our resident mongo expert to pop in.

    @nweber, I'd listen to him, he fixes most of what I break 😉

    After a new npm install and ./nodebb setup, i have always the same error.

    @a_5mith Thanks, but this morning i have tried an installation with redis and i have the same error, i don't think mongodb is in question.

    For information friday, i have tried an installation (with the same environment VM on ESX and ubuntu) and she was ok, but the registration or some forms didn't works.

    Just to be clear, are you following install instructions found here:
    https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/os/ubuntu.html

    I use ubuntu servers with those instructions and never have an issue like the one you've described.

    I have made a new installation and it's ok, no more error on startup.

    But the application didn't work well, i have the same problems like friday:

    • i can't add user
    • i can't creat a new post

    I can only navigate in menu with the admin user

    Is your DB hosted locally?
    Looks like there's a connection timing out when you try to access it.

    Yes mongoDb is hosted on the same server.

    In dev mode i don't see logs on console and nothing in logs directory.

    What mean the "bind_adress" parameter ?

    http://10.1.148.242

    Bind address is where you would place the IP of your server (like you already have) when using a domain. This would allow you to set a URL such as http://example.com in base_url.

    If you'll start NodeBB and leave it running, I'll see if I can can connect to it and register a profile

    @nweber Set your bind address to 0.0.0.0. Also, unless you have nginx or apache configured, set use port to true.

    You might also want to edit out your secret key from your config.json post above.

    I have tried to change bind_address and use_port like in your post.

    But no change after reloading app.
