Fresh Install Error - Cannot Login/Register & JS Reference Error

[mjason4x]

Used the below command as temporal fix for now...

Will upgrade when next stable is released

$ cp node_modules/socket.io-client/socket.io.js node_modules/socket.io-client/

Actually the command for the @mjason4x fix is on my setup:

$ cp node_modules/socket.io-client/dist/socket.io.js node_modules/socket.io-client/

@benabel What about...

$ ln -s node_modules/socket.io-client/dist/socket.io.js node_modules/socket.io-client/socket.io.js

@julian same problem, master version solves it

So I just spun up a new instance to make some updated instructions because the documentation page is 2 years old.

I installed to v1.3.0 and had the forbbiden issue.
I checked out master and did the ./nodebb upgrade and now I am still unable to log in.

Also getting this on a clean install after switching to master.

[julian]

@JaredBusch Hm.. did you ./nodebb upgrade or ./nodebb build after switching?

./nodebb upgrade

Ah yes I see you did say that earlier. You pulled after you switched to master, too, right?

Yes, I did.

I am about to do this again.

I created this document as I was building things last night.

I figured once I had it repeatable, I would look at making a pull request on the official docs

I noticed this issue too. Just curious, is there any reason why this was merged into the v1.x.x branch instead of master?

I have made a new post with more detail on what I have done to recreate/replicate issues.
