Installing NodeBB

[Yggdrasil]

Yes, I am running Ubuntu. I got to the part where you have to start the setup for NodeBB ($ ./nodebb setup). But no matter what I enter there, a lot of errors show up afterwards and I cannot reach the forum later over the ip adress.

@Yggdrasil Before you respond to my chat message, can you try

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade in your profile directory (cd ~)

It should output a lot of log messages, but not errors... can you paste them here?

@julian I've done the install for him as I had 10 minutes to spare. Another happy customer.

You da man. When badges happen, you get "da man" badge.

Yeah, thanks to julian it really works now. But for some reason I always get this when I open a new thread:
**
This thread has been deleted. Only users with thread management privileges can see it.**

I also cannot restore or unlock any thread. Is this some kind of error or did I forgot something?

Hey @Yggdrasil, make sure you've installed the latest version of Lavender

npm install nodebb-plugin-lavender

then restart your forum

[Yggdrasil]

I did all that, but nothing changed at all. NodeBB still says This thread has been deleted. Only users with thread management privileges can see it. in every thread I create

[julian]

Hmm... I wonder what version of NodeBB you're running. Can you execute this in the shell?

git rev-parse HEAD

[Yggdrasil]

It says 311a7ad5b929aa2fc244bb7004e0160393c71200

Is that what you wanna know?
