    I guess I finally installed NodeBB, but the problem is that on openshift, I'm getting a 503 error. Did I do anything wrong? I followed all steps.

    I'm so close to doing it... and is there anything to fix a 503 error? Please help and thanks!

    I don't personally have much experience with OpenShift. Perhaps try asking their support, maybe they'll be able to assist you?

    @psychobunny Sorry I figured I should start over since I made a lot of mistakes during installation. It works now!

    @julian said in Cannot start nodebb with systemd:

    /opt/nodebb/logs/output.log

    Hi julian, sorry for my delay response.
    I changed the services as you suggested, essentially this was my first implementation.

    I removed the file output.log, then I rebooted the system and started the services, when I went in the logs folder the file output.log was empty.

    UPDATE:

    I used journalctl -fu nodebb.service to see the log of the service, and I discovered a nice thing:

    alt text

    Any idea?

    UPDATE 2 [FIXED]

    Okay, so after spending some times on this, I discovered what is the cause of the problem. Essentially, I have installed nodebb as root account (which is wrong, my bad), and the systemd service was configured to run nodebb as the user "sfarzoso", but that user was not the owner of nodebb folder, so when I started the service using systemd, a permission problem happen.

    For fix this, I chowned the "opt" folder for "sfarzoso", which is the folder that I need to install nodebb, then I cloned the repo of nodebb and launched the setup again.
    All works now.

    Thanks for the attention, king regards.

    It is taking me some time - mostly because I'm not familiar enough with NodeJS / NodeBB.

    Some observations:

    Took a while to get the ./nodebb setup routine to work - had to do it first for MongoDB and then for Redis and then combine the two files and restart (redis / mongodb nodejs files do not get installed on the npm install command).

    Then got stuck with launching multiple processes on reboot with systemd. Gave up on that and just used a crontab @ reboot line to run a shell script. Need to figure out how to restart / reload processes seamlessly.

    Found some issues with socket.io and spdy - did not investigate, disabled spdy on nginx.

    Found some issues with the 0.7.0 branch and upgraded to master 0.7.1 and found that much more stable. But these were plugin related - sections, adsense - dropped them both.

    Made the mistake of setting the production flag in the environment variable NODE_ENV. 🙂

    As of now, have a test site running persona, notifications plugins on a distributed setup - NFS / REDIS / MONGO DB on one server and a barebones NODEJS + NGINX/SSL on another.

    Seems stable for now on a test setup on https://devlib.org will give it a day or two while I play around with the templates / plugins and watch memory usage, before I go through another effort to set the autoscale / loadbalancer up.

    @baris @julian @psychobunny - I really like what I see so far. Well done. If all goes well with the setup / eval, I will be dropping you guys an email to see if I can fund some development. 🙂
