@julian said:

lsb_release -a

This iss output:

root@the [~]# lsb_release -a
-bash: lsb_release: command not found

and

root@the [~]# uname -a
Linux the.thebettinguniversity.org 2.6.32-042stab113.11 #1 SMP Fri Dec 18 17:32:04 MSK 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Also im geting this when run this command:

root@the [~/public_html]# sudo service redis start
Starting redis-server:
*** FATAL CONFIG FILE ERROR ***
Reading the configuration file, at line 53
'logfile /var/log/redis/redis.log'
Can't open the log file: Permission denied
[FAILED]

root@the [~/public_html]# sudo service redis status
redis-server is stopped

How to reenable redis server again?

NOTE: I reenabled radis again>

root@the [/]# sudo service redis status
redis-server (pid 4183) is running...

added firewall rules:

firewall --zone=public --add-port=4567/tcp --permanent
firewall --reload

and start nodebb from

./nodebb start

but still not open on http://216.172.178.106:4567/

Why?

For best results, I'd recommend using Ubuntu 14.04, as that is the OS we test on. It doesn't look like you're using Ubuntu.

Secondly, your redis server isn't starting, so you'll need to resolve that before continuing with NodeBB setup.

I started Redis server with "sudo service redis start" but still not open me nothing. I think that issue is somewhere in firewall.

Do you noticed what i write before:

root@the [/]# sudo service redis status
redis-server (pid 4183) is running...

So radis server is working !!

@MagicVish No, no. For the field Which database to use do not enter redis but enter 0. You already chose redis earlier in the setup. This field instructs NodeBB which redis database to populate and use. The databases start at 0 and increase incrementally. If this is your first and only redis database 0 is the answer.
