Repetitive forum update notice

General Discussion
  • H

    Hi,

    I've just installed NodeBB successfully.

    When I'm at the forum page (Admin panel, for now), a notice repeatedly appears in the bottom-right corner, even though I dismiss it:

    "Forum updated

    This forum has just been updated to the latest version. Click here to refresh the page."

    (See it here: http://dsh.re/85be4)

    How do I prevent this from happening ?

    Thanks,

    Howard

    @howardm your installation is probably trying to restart after an error. check your logs

    ./nodebb log

    Hi,

    Thanks for your interest.

    When I dismiss the notice, it comes up again about 12 seconds later.

    I don't see anything in my output.log

    The last message is:

    I configured Forever to keep it running, as follows:
    ....

    sudo forever start app.js

    warn: --spinSleepTime not set. Your script will exit if it does not stay up for at least 1000ms

    I presume this is not related to that in any way.

    Update:

    Well, I stopped nodebb:

    ........

    forums$ ./nodebb stop
    Stopping NodeBB. Goodbye!
    ........

    Now, it's going again (I guess Forever is keeping it going).

    The notice has stopped appearing.

    ? but 🙂

    @howardm don't think you need forever. NodeBB has the capability to try to start itself if it goes down because of an error unless you stop it using ./nodebb stop

    TL; DR: upgrade to node Js version
    v0.10.41 (Maintenance), v0.12.9 (LTS), v4.2.3 "Argon" (LTS) or v5.1.1 (Stable), depending on which major.minor version you're running.

    Nodejs updates have recently been released to address a DOS vulnerability in 0.12.x to 5.x, as well as an OpenSSL vulnerability in all versions: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/december-2015-security-releases/

    I have successfully patched font awesome to 5.6.3. Both free or pro should work fine. As a total newbie to nodebb, there might be issues that I am not aware yet. Below is a simple script to assist any future updates.

    I have not fully tested the procedures. Proceed at your own risk! 🌶

    @frissdiegurke either that or text complete can be a standalone plugin that other plugins can add stuff into.
