NodeBB ACP-access broken

[frissdiegurke]

I've disabled the cache for this (request-header Cache-Control:no-cache) but without that the same result: 200.

returnTo:http://localhost:4567/login?local=1

I've also tried with other returnTo value (http://localhost:4567/tags) but same result 200 and redirect to /login?local=1

EDIT: After cleaning cookies (more specific express.sid) I can login again but as soon I try to access /admin it's the same all over again.

[frissdiegurke]

The request to /admin itself when logged in (and avatar is showed, etc.) results in a 302 as it seems:

Maybe the two different express.sid request-cookies have sth to do with this o_O

Can you try switching the session store to redis and see if that helps?

[frissdiegurke]

I've used redis in first place, just switched to mongodb for debugging purpose since I'm not familiar with redis commands.
So everything happens using redis the same way.

[julian]

Highly peculiar... and does this also happen on, say... a cloud install?

@frissdiegurke Does this happen with node 0.10.x?

[frissdiegurke]

@baris said:

@frissdiegurke Does this happen with node 0.10.x?

Since there is no way to install node 0.10.x (neither iojs, wanted to try this ) without purging my current version I'm not willing to do this.

I've just tried to remove all global installed node_modules (rm -rf /usr/lib/node_modules), clean npm cache and reinstall npm and my global modules.
But it still didn't fix the problem (fixed some non-related errors though).

I'll try on my desktop-pc (also bleeding-edge arch-linux) later this day to see if it works there.

[julian]

You could try installing nvm, which would allow you to "install" Node from within your home directory...

Then you can switch between 0.10, 0.11, 0.12, and even iojs, with a single nvm use command.

Of course, you do have to npm rebuild each time, but that's not so bad.

[frissdiegurke]

@julian well, that's affordable didn't know nvm thanks!

Using nodejs v0.10.40 (npm 1.4.28) and npm rb within NodeBB root, flushing db and calling ./nodebb setup again... The issue still persists o_O

I've also tried the v0.6.x branch (using nodejs 0.12.x) where the same issue occurs, so it's definitely no fault within the NodeBB core (unless caused by lately bugfixes within that branch too)...

As I said I'll test on desktop-pc later on. Maybe I'll also try around with docker some time (never used it yet, definitely need to xD ).

[julian]

Eh, try LXC. I recommend it over Docker
