Tested it this morning with my second forum like this.
./nodebb upgrade
Aborted with error. node_modules/ saved elsewhere. Then a
npm install
Then checked the version
npm list sharp
Was the right version.
~/nodebb_test$ npm list sharp
[email protected] /home/user/nodebb_test
āāā
[email protected]
After that
./nodebb upgrade
Ran through flawlessly. Then rebuild & restart.
Oddly enough, I always have to run ./nodebb upgrade twice with this version until the forum works properly. But this should not be the problem here.
Now I'm on version 1.18.5 - a stony way.
