[Solved] Spinning up a second instance of NodeBB on same server.. issues with redis?

[julian]

@Frédéric-Coubard Looks like there is no problem to me?

[Couby]

@a_5mith will try this evening.

[Couby]

@julian you mean it is normal this instance restarting endlessly ?

[julian]

@Frédéric-Coubard Ah, missed that it was restarting over and over again. Yeah, run it in dev mode and let's see what the error is...

[Couby]

Sorry for this late feedback.
For some reasons I had to reinstall my whole server. And now the run of the two nodeBB instances is working fine. So maybe nothing related to nodeBB itself. That rocks :-). Thanks for your answers.

I'm having an issue where I've installed two instances of NodeBB on the same server, set the redis databases to be different yet the following error occurs:

Whenver you login or logout of one forum, you logout of the other. Is this a common issue and can be solved easily or am I in deep water here?

[julian]

1. I find it hilarious that only as little as 6 months ago, our totally legitimate advice was "try dropping your db and reinstall"
2. Are the secrets in config.json different?
3. Are the two NodeBBs on the same base_url?
4. Check the cookie saved in the browser, I'm thinking perhaps they're overwriting each other...

@julian

1. That's hilarious

2. The secrets are indeed different

3. The base_url's are the same except for the ports

4. I'll clear my cookies and see if that fixes the issue.

[julian]

As far as I know, the ports aren't considered in a cookie's domain path (limitation of the cookie mechanism, I think), so that would explain it. They're overwriting each other.

It seems that even if I refresh on one instance it logs me out of the other. How strange.
