A full purge and reinstall cleared the issues out. Thank you all for your assistance and my apologies for taking your time.
FWIW, I absolutely love this forum and product. Great work.
I've got NodeBB up and running, I am having some issues. I successfully installed on a ubuntu server with MongoDB. But i've attached an image of what I am seeing, I felt as if there had to be at least some default values...maybe not. But the main issue that I am having is, I have no admin panel. When I click "Login" nothing happens.
@g_campbell well there seems to be no data in the database schema NodeBB is connecting to.
Thank you for the response, was that something I was supposed to do or does it come package in NodeBB?
@g_campbell did you run ./nodebb setup
when you installed NodeBB?
I did. I setup it up via the web interface. How can I confirm that NodeBB and MongoDB are communicating?
Anyone have any other input?
run setup again and make sure you dont get any messages about not being able to connect to the database
@phit is there an uninstall process? or just run ./nodebb setup again?
@g_campbell, you can just re-run ./nodebb setup
@phit @ThingBreaker
Thanks for the help guys. I actually uninstalled and reinstalled mongodb as well. There has been some change... Although I still cannot login to the admin panel. But here is what my home page looks like now
Here is what i receive during setup that might give some sort of clues to my issues...

========================================================================
I installed the wrong software stack. I installed the one in the ubuntu installation and i notice the one in the actual mongo db installation is different, once i installed that one, my login panel appeared. Thanks for the help everyone.
