NodeBB won't start anymore after installing theme.

Technical Support
  • MJM

    Hello,

    My nodeBB software gets stuck on start.
    If I do ./nodebb start it says starting nodebb. but it looks like it can't get startet.

    I also did resetting the theme ./nodebb reset -t and I get the message theme is set to persona, but it still won't load.

    If I do ./nodebb log it says "3 restarts in 10 seconds, most likely an error on startup. Halting."

    Can somebody please help me with this?
    I made back-up from my data so my content is safe (this time 😛 )

    @MJ theme.json in one of your themes is invalid, I think. Try using http://jsonlint.com/ to check them.

    @PitaJ i reset the theme with ./nodebb reset -t so it should be okay, or not?

    and if I need to test theme, can you explain please how I must do it sir?

    @MJ do you have any themes besides persona installed? Try reinstalling persona, first, with npm remove nodebb-theme-persona and npm install nodebb-theme-persona. If that doesn't work, try deleting the node_modules directory and reinstalling everything with npm install.

    If that doesn't work, try copying the contents of node_modules/nodebb-plugin-persona/theme.json into that JSON validator I linked and making sure it's all valid.

    @MJ yep. That's invalid JSON. It's missing a comma after the highlighted line.

    @PitaJ can I uninstall that theme, and how?

    @MJ probably just npm remove nodebb-theme-hexadecimal

    Like @PitaJ said, the theme doesn't work because that line misses a comma. Put a comma after that description line and the theme should work, assuming nothing else is broken.

    Hi all, today I just installed a cloud version and I can't change files myself. Faced with the same problem. I've changed the theme back to Persona and now can open no frontend nigher backend. It forwards me to the nodebb website and shows this message:

    Service Unavailable
    We couldn't reach the website you were looking to access. It may be offline temporarily, please try again later.

    How can I deal with it? Thanks

    We want to use NodeBB in a part of our native application. Can we use basic forum functions like registration, new topic, post, groups, websocket, chat via API? Is there a document for this? Thanks.

    Try disabling the custom plugins and see if it helps.

    @prog At current, no. Our servers are based in a New York datacenter, but we do not use CDN for global delivery of assets like the client js and css.
