Markdown hast vanished.

@a_5mith did you actually set the user to the proper username?

It's the same username as the user you're logged in as, that you run nodebb under

a_5mith

@julian Yes. I did. Username on my Ubuntu is a_5mith.

I certainly didn't try just copy and pasting your commands the first time before I realised the error of my ways.

Bumping for a resolution to this. Two issues, I have no markdown on my forum, and I can't run commands without sudo, presumably because the above command broke my permissions.

EisFrei

Let's try to break this down

Take a look at the directory running ls -l /nodebb/directory. It should look like this:

-rw-r-----  1 a_5mith a_5mith [...]
drwxr-x--- 10 a_5mith a_5mith [...]

If you see a lot more dashes in the first few rows, running chmod probably messed up the file permissions.

----------  1 a_5mith a_5mith [...]
d--------- 10 a_5mith a_5mith [...]

Running chmod 770 -R /nodebb/directory should reenable your user's access to the files. The command is a bit broad and will make all files executable but it should do the trick.

-rwxrwx---  1 a_5mith a_5mith [...]
drwxrwx--- 10 a_5mith a_5mith [...]

a_5mith

@EisFrei I'm seeing the following, strangely, I didn't need to add sudo this time, not sure why, same account as I was having issues with before. Seems that's solved itself then.

Just the markdown issue now, @julian, care to shed some light on the markdown front?

NodeBB Essential Widgets
Installed 0.1.2 | Latest 0.1.2

Is this version too new for 0.5.2 (non master)

I also can't install plugins, error is similar to last time.

I wonder if you're skittish about running commands I give you over the internet yet

cd /home/a_5mith
sudo chown -R a_5mith:a_5mith ./.npm

Then try re-installing markdown 0.0.7 again

Not until after I've run them and they don't work. That seems to have done the trick. I have paragraphs back, no more walls of text. for you and for @EisFrei

julian

@a_5mith what! No ?
