@julian said in Debugging nodebb:

Looks like you already have a NodeBB instance running... or maybe something else running on port 61236.

Try checking out ps aux | grep node and killing off the other NodeBB process, if there is one.

Thanks to @ben_lubar I was able to get this working. Turns out I needed to start app.js not nodebb because nodebb would fork and screw up the debugging.

People on my forum noticed the same thing. I told them that one is quick search and one is advanced search, but the confusion about the buttons looking the same remains.
