Upgrading from v0.6.1 to v0.9.0

maximus123

I have Redis 2.8.19 installed

[email protected] [~]# sudo redis-server --version
Redis server v=2.8.19 sha=00000000:0 malloc=jemalloc-3.6.0 bits=64 build=8012391549b7b328

Ok! will do!
Still getting the error after your command, should redis be up and running? it's running ATM.

Note: I updated npm to solve the issue up there (REPLACE_INVALID_UTF8), now i'm on 3.4.0
[email protected] [nodebb]# sudo npm -v
3.4.0

Redis module and redis server doesn't match, so that should be okay...

npm ls redis?

got it after running your command

How can I make sure it updated the correct dump.rdb file? I have a feeling it's not using my correct redis installation

[email protected] [nodebb]# sudo npm ls redis
[email protected] /home/maximur1/nodebb

What makes you say that?

The updater will use whichever db is set in config.json...

maximus123

Sounds good, it's the correct DB

{

"secret": "removed",
"database": "redis",
"redis": {

Ok 0.8.x working, last update on the way!

Ok same error with 0.9.0

[email protected] [nodebb]# sudo ./nodebb upgrade

Bringing base dependencies up to date... OK
Updating NodeBB data store schema.
13/11 17:24 [7710] - error: Unable to initialize Redis! Is Redis installed? Error :Cannot find module 'redis'
OK
```
                                    NodeBB Upgrade Complete!

Solution
I had to add redis since it's not installed by default:
npm install
npm install redis
npm install connect-redis
npm install redis-server
ls -d node_modules/nodebb* | xargs -n1 basename | xargs npm update
node app --upgrade

Hmm, it sounds like something is calling out to a method that doesn't exist in the version of Socket.IO that Nodebb uses. My guess would be one of those incompatible plugins it listed. I'd start one by one turning them off and see if that fixes it. No guarantees though that is problem, its just what I would try next, so you can wait for someone who knows more about the error to respond if you want.

maximus123

Working now! I did not have the good version of redis or connect-redis

With this:
npm install redis@~0.10.1 connect-redis@~2.0.0

Working ATM!
http://forum.maximumtrainer.com:4567/

Gonna test that stuff, really cool that it worked so fast

maximus123

I think I found a bug with 0.9.0

If you click a post in the list:
http://forum.maximumtrainer.com:4567/category/24/power-curve
and hit the BACK button in the browser, you go back to the list of topic but nothing is shown with NAN

maximus123

Should have checked,
Seems like the emailer plugin I was using is not compatible with 0.9.0?
https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-emailer-postmark

Looking for a solution...

julian

Standby...

julian

Please try 1.0.0 of the postmark plugin and report back if it works.

maximus123

Edited: Need to leave local login ON or the login page does not show

Will try postmark plugin now

maximus123

Updated to the new persona theme fixed the issue with NAN and BACK button not reloading forum post.
Will stick to persona

maximus123

Found a bug with the website in PROFILE section;

The website address seems to be converted to HTML code and result in a bad link, example with my profile:
WEBSITE HTTPS://MAXIMUMTRAINER.COM/
For some reason it works here but on the forum it shows '&X2F; code

Weird it's okay now after I edited it back, maybe the dump.rdb correctly saved it now
