node app --setup causes crash

[aaron]

I just cloned the github repo. When I try to run node app --setup, after going through all the steps of the setup, this is the error I get:

/Users/aaronclaytondunn/Documents/WebDev/forum/nodebb/forum/nodebb/node_modules/redis/index.js:535
            throw err;

Any ideas? Thanks!

Can you update to https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/commit/b325212182929f186920acf02bfb57bbe1bcce86 and test again thanks.

@aaron -- could you also let us know your Redis version? We think that may have something to do with your error.

I would like to see the output of hgetall config too from your redis if you don't mind

[aaron]

Hi, thanks for the help!

I made those updates and I'm still getting the same error. Here's the requested info:

$ redis-server --version

Re redis: I just ran the default server because the config file I have set up that worked with my last build doesn't work locally because of file paths and I figured I'd just test it out with the default redis instance. But I'll try it out pointing to /redis-stable/redis.conf now...

Oops sorry I meant hgetall global

[aaron]

$ redis-cli hgetall global

1. "nextUid"
2. "4"
3. "userCount"
4. "4"
5. "nextGid"
6. "3"

[baris]

Ok that seems to be the issue. You have some users already and when you run setup again it is trying to create a new admin user as uid 5 and trying to send an email which crashes. Not sure why its asking for an admin user though. uid 1 should be the admin. Can you run hgetall user:1. That should be the admin user and node app --setup shouldn't ask again.

[aaron]

Okay, so I got it working by running a config file. But it still has me set up an admin each time. Here's the readout you requested:

$ redis-cli hgetall user:1

1. "username"
2. "test2"
3. "reputation"

5. "password"
