Is there any way to migrate wbb 3.1 to nodebb?
Solved How to completely remove NodeBB?
-
I'd like to completely remove NodeBB (delete everything such as files, database etc). My aim is to install NodeBB again from scratch.
Does anyone know how this can be done? Or perhaps there's an article already available that you can point me to?
Thanks in advance.

Completely removing the NodeBB instalation is quite easy, you can remove NodeBB by deleting its folder its hosted in. Then going to your Redis or MongoDB location (Depending on what you use) and deleting the database, beware if you have any other databases on Redis or MongoDB,

@Kowlin Thanks for this info! Removing the NodeBB folder does sound simple. I can probably work out how to do that part
Regarding deleting Redis, any idea how that can be done? I have just one Redis database on my server.

To drop a redis database,
redis-cli -n {DB#} flushdn
-
@julian Thanks, that command helps
-
So I've now:
- Deleted the NodeBB folder
- Dropped the Redis database
Is there anything else I should remove?
-
Nope, that's it.

@julian Thanks, although I'm confused as to why I still see the maintenance page (X is currently undergoing maintenance. Please come back another time.) when I visit my domain example.com?
-
Perhaps your NodeBB is still running in memory
pkill -9 node
to kill all node.js processes. -
@julian I now get a 502 bad gateway message from Nginx (which I think is what I should be seeing). Thanks for all your help
