Failed migration of NodeBB

[julian]

@planner @finid Sure. Now that your schema is roughly ~v0.5.x:

$ git checkout v0.6.x
$ git reset --hard origin/v0.6.x
$ node app --upgrade

[finid]

@julian, looks like I replied to myself instead to you

Shows how long I've used this platform...

@julian, I told you, man! [email protected] died of unknown causes. But he did leave behind a boat load of bitcoins in a Swiss account. So I'm shopping for a pacific island right now

To this particular matter, I'll continue where I left off later tonigh, because the server is laready life and the upgrade uses up lots of RAM.

@julian, So upgrade to 0.6 completed successfully.

However, upgrade to 0.7 almost completed. At the tail end, it failed with this message:

Undefined error. Perhaps the contents of the log could shed some light:

Any clues?

Ok, so I decide to skip 0.7 and use the last known good upgrade (0.6) until I get a response on the blocking issue.

However, when I stat NodeBB, it starts, but I get a 502 Bad Gateway error when I try to access the site. From the log, I get these:

Clustering enabled: Spinning up 1 process(es).

Any clues?

[finid]

@finid, So I made the decision to disable all the plugins, now knowing which is causing the problem.

Now I can NodeBB starts fine, I can access the site, but it's a blank site. No posts or users at all. Check the uploads folders that all is intact. Also verified that the database files (.rdb and .aof) are still in place and the same size as the original site.

Any ideas @julian

@finid I do believe someone else was having trouble with upgrading to 0.7.x from 0.6.x. It wasn't clear which minor version of 0.6.x you switched to when you were upgrading, so this might help you: It was discovered that you'd have to upgrade from 0.6.0 to 0.6.1 so the db schema could complete correctly. @julian can probably explain why if you need details, but @WildPointer had success going through these steps in this post: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4700/solved-upgrading-nodebb-0-6-0-to-0-7-0/20

Ensure that the config.json still points to the same database... if it's a blank site, then NodeBB is reading an empty database...

@BDHarrington7, I'm on v0.6.1-15, but I think I'll skip upgrading to 0.7.x until I can get the whole site back up.

Before upgrading, config.json was pointing to Redis DB 0. After upgrading, it's still pointing to Redis DB 0. The configured Redis password still matches.

So not sure, how to proceed from here.
