nodebb upgrade fails with Error: schema-out-of-date

[ilix]

Hello,

I have a nodebb instance running 1.1.2 and it has started complaining about schema-out-of-date when I try to start it.

To fix this, I am trying to run ./nodebb upgrade as several other threads here has suggested I should do. However it also fails. Here is the log:

  NodeBB Upgrade Complete!

Does anyone have any ideas?

[PitaJ]

have you tried just running it? does it still give you that error? what version of nodebb? what commit?

[julian]

Seems like the upgrade script is actually triggering the NodeBB setup script instead... are you missing a config.json?

[ilix]

@PitaJ yes I have, when I try running NodeBB it stops with the same message. I am using v1.2.1 (from that tag in GitHub)

@julian you have a point, the output of ./nodebb upgrade looks similar to the output when I am trying to start nodebb. There is a config.json present that was generated and used when the NodeBB installation was working.

Thank you for the replies. I will keep digging now and see if I can find out anything more.

What does node app --upgrade net you?
