Run NodeBB on shared host uberspace

Steve

Did you setup Redis on your server already? Make sure it's updated to the latest version?

mono

Redis is already setup on the server but it is the version 2.6.10...i can't update redis on my own, because i don't have the rights. is there maybe another solution? i'll ask the host if he can update redis. thanks for the help.

Hey @mono, your redis version should be fine. NodeBB should work with even Redis 2.4.

Can you make sure that your redis instance is running?

mono

my redis instance is running. my host told me now that i have to adress redis through the socket, didn't know that.

julian

Right-o, then instead of putting 127.0.0.1 as the host, just use the socket address.

mono

yep. that worked

julian

(clap) enjoy your new NodeBB!

mono

Yep. Now it's installed. But still have some issues with the htaccess file.

I don't really get that. What do I have to write into the htaccess file?

Right now I have:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^nodebb/(.*) http://localhost:65532/$1 [P]

And I get this and the links don't work.

@mono Have you been able to solve the last issue? Right now I' trying to install nodebb on uberspace, too. I got it working until I get to the output which is shown in your screenshot. It looks like the nodebb task can find the stylesheet etc:

Did you find a solution?

Thanks

I got it to work... I changed the .htaccess to

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum.example.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://localhost:61111/$1 [NC,P,L]

and the config.json to

{
    "url": "http://forum.example.com",
    "port": "61111",
    "secret": "###",
    "database": "redis",
    "redis": {
        "host": "/home/###/.redis/sock",
        "password": "",
        "database": "0"
    }
}
