    I am getting the following when trying to run nodebb setup:

    Any ideas of what it could be?

    Got it. Installed gcc5 and that solved the problem.

    @Fastidious did you follow the official docs? If so, a pull request to add that extra step is greatly appreciated. Just hit the edit button on the top right 🙂

    EDIT: oops, I guess we don't even have a FreeBSD section in our docs. What OS did you use as your guide? Could add a new page copied and pasted from the original and adding your last step.

    @psychobunny I simply installed node withpkg (did not use ports), cloned NodeBB and did the regular routine (npm install, nodebb setup, etc.). It was crashing on setup because I had gcc48. Installed gcc49, no dice. Finally installed gcc5 and updated libmap.conf under /etc/ as follows:

    libstdc++.so.6  gcc5/libstdc++.so.6

    And the beast took a deep breath, and opened its eyes. Hehe.

    I can come up with a page. It should be fairly straight forward, but I already had many things installed on that VPS, so I am not sure if whatever requirements were needed I already had them.

    You seem to know a lot more about this than any of our core team. Myself especially 😉

    If you could add a freebsd section to the docs then kudos to you, likely somebody else will run into the problem you had and I'd have no idea how to respond 😛

    Done. Pull request pending.

    Thanks! 🙂 the PR is missing a link from the OS page to your new page though

    Which JS engine do you use, v8? Maybe it's related to that.

    I'm using FreeBSD too (now with mongodb), and I didn't have to install gcc5 or do any /etc changes to use NodeBB with redis.

    @rfc2822 if you have a newer gcc installed, there is no reason to install or perform the changes I had to do. My server is not "vanilla" FreeBSD, it is "tinkering-a-lot" FreeBSD.

    You wrote "It was crashing on setup because I had gcc48". I only have gcc-4.8.5 installed, too (I highly prefer Clang, so I'm not picky about having the latest gcc version).

    @rfc2822 4.8.5 is fine, 4.8 is not. Do this:

    strings /usr/local/lib/gcc48/libstdc++.so.6 |grep GLIBCXX_3.4.21

    If you see it, you are fine.

    Ok,. I have just thought every gcc48 version would crash for you. – So everything is OK 🙂

    Really love NodeBB & FreeBSD 🙂

    So after doing a lot of digging, I found out that the error was that NGINX needs to be configured for the SSL. This isn't really mentioned in the Ubuntu nodeBB guide, and the NGINX configuration guide linked on it is a dead link.

    First, I needed to combine my certificate and intermediate certificate (If you have a root certificate, you combine it as well) into one .cert file. This amounted to just copying the intermediate certificate and pasting it after the regular certificate (keeping the "BEGIN" and "END" lines).

    Then, I inserted the combined key into /etc/ssl/ directly. After doing this, I added my private key to a new folder I created in etc named "keys" (/etc/keys/).

    Lastly, I referenced my SSL in the "default" file in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

    listen 443 ssl default_server; ssl on; ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/zbgamewiki.com_ssl_bundle.cer; ssl_certificate_key /etc/keys/_.zbgamewiki.com_private_key.key;

    And restarted nginx via sudo systemctl reload nginx

    @julian said in Error Upgrading from 1.10 to 1.11:

    I suppose it used to assume database 0 on start, but no longer 😄

    Yeah, I was freaking out a little bit. Glad it was such an easy fix and many thanks to @PitaJ for trouble shooting it for me so quickly.

    I managed to fix it by deleting my packages.json file, replacing it with the version in github, then running npm install --production

    Problem installing plugins on hosted demo

    Hi,

    I am vision impaired and use a screen reader so maybe it is just an accessibility issue.

    I have just signed up for the hosted demo and looking into different solutions for a forum such as NodeBB, Muut, Vbulletin etc.

    I am trying to install a new plugin and get to the page where you can search for plugins under the admin menu.

    There is no labelled search button so I type in a search phrase such as "question answer" without the quotes as I want to check out the question and answer plugin. I then hit enter to presumably submit the search request.

    The page refreshes but no plugins are shown.

    Am I doing the search process incorrectly or is adding plugins banned in the demo perhaps,

    Thanks,
    Dale.

    Interesting. Please check cloud GUI for domain configuration. Do you have all fields filled there?

    Try to disable CloudFlare for test purposes.

    Edit: happy to see it fixed
