Problem With Setup: "Database type not set!"
-
Hello, I've been trying to install NodeBB on my server with MongoDB, but I always get the following error when I run "node app --setup":
info: Configuration Saved OK
info: Database type not set! Run node app --setupI'm sure this isn't because of Mongo, as I was trying to set it up with Redis before (did some research, but decided against RAM storage, for scalability reasons), and got the same error. This is what I enter:
node app --setup

I feel like an idiot. I forgot to "sudo" the command. Gonna keep this up just in case anyone else runs into the same "problem"

Well, I'm not a sysadmin and I was just testing it out on a cheap VPS before launching it to Heroku, which is where the production site will reside.
**Edit: ** The limitations of Heroku have become a painful reality. Moving back to my "cheap" VPS -
Yeah I don't really find heroku viable at all, apart from the fact that the workflow is a total pain (unless I'm missing something)... the cost is just too much. What's your "cheap" VPS? Fancy a VPS hosted on SSDs for just $5 a month? http://burnaftercompiling.com/nodebb/setting-up-a-nodebb-forum-for-dummies/
