Hi, that's it:

> use nodebb
switched to db nodebb
> db.objects.findOne({_key: "config"});
null

That's when authorization is disabled and I get the above output.

The following is when authorization is enabled:

> db.objects.findOne({_key: "config"});

Hi, this is the result, it's null:

Any updates?

Database connection works fine, I checked it and tried with both Mongo Compass, and mongo command with username and password authentication.

@baris this is my helpers.js:

parts.push(`theme-${meta.config['theme:id'].split('-')[2]}`);

This is git status:

root@server:/home/nodebb/src/middleware# git status
On branch v2.x
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/v2.x'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

There's nothing difference between my files are git.

Around a month ago I did upgrade NodeBB (not sure from which version, to 2.4 or 2.2) and also Node (from 16 I think to v18.7.0), and after that I'm getting this error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'split')

This is what I see in web browser.
This is what I get in nginx's error log:

I'm running nodebb as a systemd service and it is up.

Do you help me what is wrong with it? I tried many thing, like using old backup for both database and files but it did not help me.

@pitaj That worked:) thanks

@gotwf said in Where is document root to add for certbot:

@inna Does /root/data/site/.well-known/acme-challenge directory exist? And if so, does nginx have permissions to write there? If not then the response to the challenge cannot be met.

You could also do something like this w/your nginx config:

server {
       listen 80;
       server_name forums.example.com;

       # set up let's encrypt 
       location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge {
                alias /var/www/certbot;
       }
                
       return 302 https://$server_name$request_uri;

}

I do not use certbot so am unfamiliar with the specifics. But basically the location line creates an alias to some dir outside of your nodebb home, so as to keep that certbot separate.

See nginx alias directive documentation for more complete explanation.

On related note, I favor Dehydrated Boulders.

Have fun!

In this scenario that we suppose /data/site is the root of my website, I tried adding a /data/site/saeed.html but I got error 404. So this is not the index path.
I want to know where should I add saeed.html so that I can access it via http://domain.com/saeed.html.

Hello,

I use certbot certonly --webroot -w /data/site -d domain.com to generate SSL Certificate, but I get error 404:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 - The following errors were reported by the server:

   Domain: domain.com
   Type:   unauthorized
   Detail: Invalid response from
   http://domain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/Pm0OGln2RSQcDYSg8YOyOnAwUlff8D3wt-H62vtOVQQ
   [IP]: 404

But in my nginx web-server, root /data/site is there and my website works fine.

What should I do for this?

Hello,

My website is https://pythonforum.ir/ and you can check each post there. I think the issue goes with RTL styling.
Check this picture please.
As you see in the left side, the date of post is over the vertical line.
This issue goes with each post, like https://pythonforum.ir/topic/35/. I know I can change CSS, but I report this to fix if needed.

@pitaj But why that has happened?
I tried restarting via systemctl restart nodebb but that did not work. Are restarting via command line and Admin interface the same?

@pitaj WOW that worked, thanks

Even if you see https://pythonforum.ir/post/72, there's an @adel mention near my name there سعید فضل اله زاده.
I also wrote that post with WYSIWYG editor, but I wrote other posts manually with writing ``` and other markdown characters.

@pitaj Here is the video: https://up.mazandhost.com/uploads/1123361455.bandicam-2021-06-19-20-07-19-755.mp4
Even if you need username and password, let me know to create a user for you.

Hi,

When I click on Reply or Quote button on any topics, it does not load the editor we currently see here with buttons. There's only the single filed at the end of the page.

I'm not why and when it has happened.
It worked before (I think two or three days ago), but it's not working now anymore.
No changes have been made to my forum.

Would you please help me how to figure out where the issue is and how to solve?

@twissell As @PitaJ said, please restart nodebb.
Also check http://your_domain.com/admin/settings/general#site-logo if you have entered any value

@twissell share your both config.json and domain.conf file.
In my case, it redirects and works fine.

@twissell Since I had your problem at the beginning of starting my forum. you should both edit your config.json file and /etc/nginx/sites-available/your_doman.conf file.

Here is my config.json file:

{
    "url": "http://pythonforum.ir",
    "secret": "SECRET",
    "database": "mongo",
    "port": "4567",
    "mongo": {
        "host": "IP",
        "port": "PORT",
        "username": "user",
        "password": "password",
        "database": "db",
        "uri": ""
    }

and here is my /etc/nginx/sites-available/your_doman.conf file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name pythonforum.ir www.pythonforum.ir;
    root /path_to_nodebb;
    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567;
        proxy_redirect off;

        # Socket.IO Support
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }
}

Of course my website is running in SSL, but it should work for your without SSL too.

@gotwf thanks for the reply, let me explain some of them:

"host": "node_db",

The name node_db is the name that I specified for database container, and the name node_site is I chose for NodeBB container (nodebb_site has files).

I tried both container's name and IP address of the container, but it seems there's another issue.

As IPs of docker containers may change if I restart the server (172.17.0.0/16), it's better to use container's name.

I also have changed bindIp option to bindIp: 127.0.0.1,172.24.0.4 and then try again but no luck. Also tried with bindIp: 0.0.0.0 but still no luck.

I grepped localhost in /home/nodebb/node_modules/mongodb/lib/cmap/connection.js and changed it to node_db, but still no luck.

I'm confused although connection is fine, where this authentication failed goes from and why.

I commented the lines related to security and authorization in mongod.conf, but no luck.
