Upgrading and semver
-
Hi there!
We have a live deployment at concourse.expii.com (forums for www.expii.com, which has 1100 accounts ). I hesitated to upgrade because I was afraid of breaking something and disrupting the userbase, but it's high time to upgrade now.
I am running v0.4.3, and I followed the instructions to migrate to the v0.5.x branch:
git fetch
git checkout v0.5.x
git merge origin/v0.5.x
./nodebb upgradeI then encountered errors around "semver". I first saw:
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/socket.io/-/socket.io-0.9.17.tgz
npm ERR! Refusing to delete: /var/nodebb/node_modules/.bin/semver not in /var/nodebb/node_modules/semver
File exists: /var/nodebb/node_modules/.bin/semver
Move it away, and try again.npm ERR! System Linux 3.14.23-22.44.amzn1.x86_64

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/type-is/-/type-is-1.5.3.tgzand later, I also saw:
module.js:340
throw err;

Thanks very much for building this awesome software! It's great!
Thanks!
