    Hi there,

    Can you please provide the following information to help us debug?

    1. Server or client operating system (if applicable)
    2. NodeBB version and hash
      • To get the hash, run git rev-parse HEAD from the root of your NodeBB folder

    Thanks!

    Hm, okay... can you paste the lines around it, so I can see which upgrade script caused the error?

    Move MongoDB to clean NodeBB

    Hello, I'm hosting my NodeBB on Digital Ocean and I want to move everything to an other database. We use MongoDB and we have a few problems. We don't know the MongoDB admin password/username.

    Do you know a way to do this or is there a plugin that makes this easier to do?
    Any help/advice is welcome and are there things we should do and don't do?

  • setkyarS

    Looks like your connection to NodeBB was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.

    The common causes for a session mismatch error are usually one of the following:

    1. Mis-configured URL parameter in your config.json file

    If you have a misconfigured url value in your config.json file, the cookie may be saved incorrectly (or not at all), causing a session mismatch error. Please ensure that the link you are accessing your site with and the url defined match.

    2. Improper/malformed cookieDomain set in ACP

    Sometimes admins set this value without realising that they probably don't need to set it at all. The default is perfectly fine. This is what the config looks like:

    Cookie Domain setting

    If this is set, you'll want to revert the setting by editing your database directly:

    Redis: hdel config cookieDomain
    MongoDB: db.objects.update({ _key: "config" }, { $set: "cookieDomain": "" });

    3. Missing X-Forwarded-Proto header from nginx/apache

    If you are using a reverse proxy, you will need to have nginx pass a header through to NodeBB so it correctly determines the correct cookie secure property.

    In nginx, you will need to add the directive like so:

    location / { ... proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; ... }

    Yeah, the nginx config for subfolder installs is a bit tricky 😄 Glad you got it working!

    @felirami I have it almost working properly on Digital Ocean, see if it works for you https://github.com/doppioslash/docker-builds

    My problem is, it's not answering on port 80 from my custom domain, even though it's exposed.

    It is taking me some time - mostly because I'm not familiar enough with NodeJS / NodeBB.

    Some observations:

    Took a while to get the ./nodebb setup routine to work - had to do it first for MongoDB and then for Redis and then combine the two files and restart (redis / mongodb nodejs files do not get installed on the npm install command).

    Then got stuck with launching multiple processes on reboot with systemd. Gave up on that and just used a crontab @ reboot line to run a shell script. Need to figure out how to restart / reload processes seamlessly.

    Found some issues with socket.io and spdy - did not investigate, disabled spdy on nginx.

    Found some issues with the 0.7.0 branch and upgraded to master 0.7.1 and found that much more stable. But these were plugin related - sections, adsense - dropped them both.

    Made the mistake of setting the production flag in the environment variable NODE_ENV. 🙂

    As of now, have a test site running persona, notifications plugins on a distributed setup - NFS / REDIS / MONGO DB on one server and a barebones NODEJS + NGINX/SSL on another.

    Seems stable for now on a test setup on https://devlib.org will give it a day or two while I play around with the templates / plugins and watch memory usage, before I go through another effort to set the autoscale / loadbalancer up.

    @baris @julian @psychobunny - I really like what I see so far. Well done. If all goes well with the setup / eval, I will be dropping you guys an email to see if I can fund some development. 🙂
