Setting up MongoDB

[aaron]

I haven't been able to find a comprehensive set of directions for setting up NodeBB with MongoDB.

I read to do this, for future people trying to set this up:
https://github.com/markau/bcrypt-nodejs/commit/b848a268d33ea08176c01332f3419bba20f9e851

And you have to switch to bcrypt-nodejs from bcrypt and make sure you're requiring the right one in all the files that use it.

I also read to do this:
https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/wiki/Setting-up-MongoDB-as-an-alternative-to-Redis
But I can't find that file. Where is it?

Once you have Mongo running, are you supposed to set up a schema somehow or is that done for you?

Thirdly, here's what happens when I run the app and try to log in as an admin:

$ node app.js

Any ideas?

Hi @aaron, this is only applicable if you are installing NodeBB on CentOS or Mac

@aaron you don't have to create a schema, collections are created as they are referenced in mongo. Also you need to enable text search in mongodb config file.

Not sure about that last error. winston.err is defined in app.js
