Nodebb buttons don't Work
-
Any buttons like new topic, or reply fail to load, and even running in dev mode I don't see any errors.
I've tried to reinstall and upgrade but nothings working.
-
What version of NodeBB are you running?
What OS are you running it on?
Is this an issue that has occurred on an existing install, or on a new one? -
It started when I tried to upgrade a 4.2 install to 4.3.
I have since tried reinstalling several times, and even completely blowing it away and restarting.
It's running on nginx and ubuntu 14.04
-
@Punkbob, when you were upgrading, did you follow these steps?
-
Yes, explicitly over and over.
-
What version is nginx? It may not be new enough (needs to be > 1.3.13)
-
I have the same problem, new install no upgrade.
nodebb v0.5.0-4
Using Apache on a CentOS.
node.js version v0.10.30In the admin panel all is working very well.
-
I also have the same issue. New install v0.5.0 although I may have missed a step in the install process.
NodeBB v0.5.0
node.js v0.10.32
Redis 2.8.4 32bit
Ubuntu 14.04 32bitedit - the admin panel is working
I'm running a digital ocean test droplet. Nginx and Apache are only required for proxy requests, correct?
-
I figured out my problem. I set up forever incorrectly. I think somehow after a server reboot it didn't load NodeBB the way it should. Is this possible? I built maybe 20 instances to figure out what caused my problem.
Thanks for the hard work on the project!
-
@parvan Thanks for checking back in!
-
Hmmm, it seems to have broke again. It will run for a while without issues and then I will come back in an hour and the buttons don't work. It's strange.
-
Check your browser and server console for any errors.

I'm checking back in from a while ago. Since the first post I've moved VPS's from digital ocean to ovh and now I'm moved to vpsdime. I highly recommend them. They say the large storage vps IO is too slow for production but so far it has seriously been 10x faster in disk benchmarks and 20% faster in cpu calculations.
Anyway, back to what I was going to say.
I started nodebb using a root cron
@reboot forever start /home/blue/nodebb/app.js
turns out this gave me the button errors.
This method works without issues
@reboot cd /home/blue/nodebb && forever start app.jsInteresting huh? Hopefully this helps someone avoid the headaches I've encountered. Any ideas why this may be?
