Working with database

[mouseluka]

I installed base number 10 redis

as well as which fields to move into this database from the old (base number 0)?

Hi @mouseluka,

As you've outlined in chat, you want to migrate your existing NodeBB data from database 0 to database 10, due to errors encountered when you attempted to upgrade NodeBB.

However, I fail to see why moving your data from database 0 to 10 would resolve any issues, you would still run into the same errors as before.

What errors do you see when you run NodeBB on database 0?

node app --setup

after all of steps write next:

If you do sequentially https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB

and specify the base 0

Which database to use (0..n) (0)
info: Configuration Saved OK

Please go into upgrade.js and find the line that reads like this:

thisSchemaDate = new Date(2014, 1, 14, 21, 50).getTime();

Then add this right above it: return next();

Then try running ./nodebb upgrade again.

return next();

Added to line 635
return next ();

@mouseluka My mistake, please add it above the line that reads:

thisSchemaDate = new Date(2014, 1, 14, 20, 50).getTime();
