Forum hangs automatically in between
-
I cannot confirm but it happen since I handed over admin access to a friend which I revoked later on when this issue popped up. I was under the impression that he was unknowingly pressing the " Restart " button. But it somehow happens that it is getting hung due to unknown reason. When I use restart command on terminal it won't work. I have to stop NodeBB and start it again. As @a_5mith mention, I tried to get a log only to get the terminal hung. Please help.

@meetdilip hey though it is hard to figure out the exact issue by the given symptoms but try running in dev mode by
./nodebb devand keep an eye on the log screen, it has the feature of restarting automatically after any error or failure. See the log for errors (in red) to figure out which plugin or script is causing the problem then you will be much closer to solving your problem.

I got this
root@install:~/home/nodebb# ./nodebb dev
Launching NodeBB in "development" mode.

Looks like there might be a problem with
nodebb-plugin-featured-threads(which unfortunately is my plugin, I guess I haven't updated it to 0.5x yet)Try uninstalling, are you still running into the same problem?
-
This happens to me on occasion - haven't tracked the plugin down responsible, as we aren't using featured threads.
If I spot it, I'll but sure to make a note of it here. It seems that the only way to correct the issue is a quicksudo init 6to reboot the server, then restarting NodeBB after the fact. -
@meetdilip I agree with @Ted your node process is hanged due to uncertain shutdown just restart your machine or do following
ps aux | grep -i nodewill show th list of all process running with name "node" note the process id and kill each one
kill -9 process_idyou don't need to restart the server
-
@vatsal, to each his own.
I run my NodeBB in a non-traditional configuration, so I have a 15 second downtime at most once I execute the server reboot and then the relaunch of the platform. While there are other ways, this works for me; plus, it's simple to do from my mobile if necessary.
