@xCausxn Please may I ask what things you are using to help you make this theme? Like, docs? Videos?

Hello, is there a way to use NodeBB with MySQL instead of Redis/MongoDB? If so, please can you explain how?

I think it will be the theme, I'll try later

Thanks But is there a way to make it like the screenshots say?

Thanks in advance.

Still need help with this.

How would I make it so they can ONLY signin/up with steam? I have got the steam login working. But they can still login/register with details. How can I change that?

Change this: https://i.theapollo.xyz/0bKSI

To this: https://i.theapollo.xyz/vEvlS instead of "Register Login"

The 1.x.x branch isnt updated to have 1.5.0 yet. It needs updating.

@PitaJ said in MongoDB wont connect:

Make sure mongo is running

Ahh fuck. That's what it was. I thought I set that up to automatically start.. Thanks!

Here it is, sorry @baris https://hastebin.com/vesucefodu.log

Upon starting my NodeBB forum, It came to my attention it wasnt actually loading. So I checked the log to find this

`Starting NodeBB
"./nodebb stop" to stop the NodeBB server
"./nodebb log" to view server output
"./nodebb restart" to restart NodeBB

root@nodebb:~/nodebb# ./nodebb log

I've got no clue how this happened. Since I didnt actually change anything at all. It was fine before I went to sleep, then I woke up and started it. And this is here.

Sorry, I forgot to update this thread. I have fixed it now. Thanks for trying to help me though! @PitaJ

I'm not completely sure how this is happening. Because it is a fresh install of NodeBB with absolutely nothing changed. Apart from me changing the port to 1234.

This is all shown here. (click the "here" text)

I would have posted earlier, but I dont have 3 rep.

Jesus im stupid. I just realised Im running "localhost" whilst trying to access it from an external PC. Changed it and it worked......

And also the bind address part. I wanna access it from other places aswell. But I got it sorted now. Thanks for your help!

@rod said in Keeps losing connection:

I think it is time for a bot to run here looking for these types of questions and offer up a canned response.

Anyway, post your config.json file. You most likely do not have the URL configured correctly.

{
"url": "http://localhost:4567",
"secret": "bcd245ec-2cb4-465c-b5a0-18d4e61523f6",
"database": "mongo",
"port": 4567,
"mongo": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "27017",
"username": "MyDBUser",
"password": "MyDBPass",
"database": "MyDBname"
}
}

obviously changed my db shit for that. But there it is.

I started my NodeBB forum. Logged in then tried to make a topic. But I only got a "+" thing in the bottom right. I didnt get a text box. When this happened I got a notification saying my forum had lost connection.
However I check my nodebb log, and it seems fine. Im not sure what is causing it to lose connection, but I need to be able to fix it asap.

My log shows:

"root@nodebb:~/nodebb# ./nodebb log
