1. If it's for testing purposes, I'd try openshift. If your trying to make it work on shared hosting, that is not possible.

2. Instructions for installing on openshift:
   https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/cloud/openshift.html

3. This last one must be a very small issue. I can't even see it in your post.

Hello there!

NodeBB is designed to work best under a virtual private server. Using a traditional hosting service is not recommended as they do not have the capabilities to power NodeBB effectively.

• The code and instructions can be found here at our project repository
• Full instructions can be found in our Documentation Portal
• We recommend DigitalOcean to host your NodeBB, you'll get a month free just by registering with this link. You can also try applying the 10TOSHIP coupon to get another two months free.

Thank you for your interest in NodeBB!

@tushar20sharma ,

Cheapest method will be to try installing on a computer running Ubuntu. Works the same as a VPS.
