Sweet, thanks.

Hi, thanks in advance for any help!

1. Will 0.4.0 include a way to delete a user through the admin section?
2. Is there a hack to achieve this now through the terminal? (Or am I missing something and there is already a way to do this?)

@julian Any idea when 4.0 will be available? What would you recommend I do in the meantime? Thanks!

@julian Thanks for the help! Here's the result--

Aarons-MacBook-Air-2:forum aaronclaytondunn$ git rev-parse HEAD
c5c2d3e070224b8b5dc787ac7b2441b58c9cb5db

Hmmm...that didn't seem to reset it. Here's what I got when I ran that:

Aarons-MacBook-Air-2:forum aaronclaytondunn$ ./nodebb reset
Welcome to NodeBB
Usage: ./nodebb {start|dev|watch|language}

start Start NodeBB in production mode
dev Start NodeBB in development mode
watch Start NodeBB in development mode and watch for changes

Hi @julian, @baris & anyone else working on this issue,

I need to reset a password and I found the post where you said you need to install the plugin to do so.

I ran npm install nodebb-plugin-emailer-mailgun and then installed the plugin through the admin GUI. When I tried to run the code again, here's what I got:

Thanks in advance for any help on this issue! I have no idea how to undo what I just did, so the local version of my app is broken right now. Thanks!

Aarrgghh!! I could have used a warning somewhere. I'm trying to deal with a bunch of bugs right now, having just pulled the latest. And of course search is missing...
I shouldn't complain. You guys have built an incredible piece of software. Thanks

Ironically I just posted a new question about what happened to search. Because I couldn't search for this thread. LOL.

Does that mean this is a bad time to do a pull? Because I just did one and I've noticed a few bugs...

Is it just me or is the search feature gone? It used to be one of the icons up at the top right of the screen.

Thanks @planner. Okay, so I'm running 0.3.0. And it looks like the current release is 0.3.2. When I pull, it lists all the conflicts along with the files it's auto-merging and removing. Since I have a backup of the last version and I only made a couple small changes I can easily redo, I'd like to just upgrade unconditionally (assuming the new version will still be able to talk to my Redis instance!).

Should I just delete all the files in my forum directory and do a new git pull??

Thanks!
Aaron

Hi, thanks everyone! You're the best! The site loads perfectly now.

As for upgrading, I think I may be a major revision behind. Can you point me to instructions to safely upgrade? I'm not even sure which version I'm currently running on...

Thanks!

Hi @julian thanks for the help! I'll try upgrading it.

When I navigate to https://forum.figma.com/vendor/fontawesome/css/font-awesome.min.css, I get to a 502 Proxy Error page with this text:

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /vendor/fontawesome/css/font-awesome.min.css.

Reason: DNS lookup failure for: 127.0.0.1:4567vendor

Apache/2.4.6 (Ubuntu) Server at forum.figma.com Port 443

@julian @miksago @baris @travis-burandt

Thanks for your help pointing me to this solution in the first place. I did get the reverse proxy set up. Unfortunately the page is rendered without any CSS or JS.

Do you think there's a fix I could make on NodeBB or is it maybe a permissions issue I could solve on the EC2 dashboard?

I'd really appreciate any advice on this one. I'm at a dead end. Thanks!

Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm running my forum on Ubuntu 13.1 on an EC2 instance. I'm using Apache 2 as a reverse proxy server to establish a secure connection on port 443.

The problem is that when I visit the website via HTTPS, I get many errors of these 3 types:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 502 (Proxy Error)
Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

Here's my config file:

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName forum.ligma.com
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/forum_ligma_com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/ubuntu/.ssh/myserver.key
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/combined-ca.crt
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
</IfModule>
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:4568
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:4568
</VirtualHost>

Any ideas what's going wrong? Do you think it has something to do with Apache or NodeBB? Thanks!

Are you sure this feature was only added within the last few weeks? If not, that won't solve my problem.

Thanks!

@julian A few weeks ago...was this feature added between then and now?

Or the steps for setting it up directly in the application? Whichever is easier. It doesn't need to handle a huge load; I just want it to work. Thanks!

What are the implications of that for setting up HTTPS? Could you maybe list the steps I need to take to set up nginx as a reverse proxy / SSL terminator / whatever? I'm very new to all of this

Thanks!

Hi, thanks in advance for any advice. I just got my SSL Certificate and I need to install it (I'm running NodeBB on an Ubuntu 13.10 EC2 instance). Would you recommend doing this by setting up a reverse proxy server or by installing it directly into the application? How would I go about doing this?

Thanks!

@julian @baris,

Uh oh! If that's how it's supposed to work then why is mine different?
When I register, I can see all the categories even if I don't have permission to enter them. When I click on one, I get redirected to /403.

How do I fix this!?
Thanks!
