james@nodebb:~/nodebb$ sudo ./nodebb restart

@pitaj I have rebuilt nodebb but cannot select the theme because it does not show up.

This is the theme if you want to check for compatibility.

Here is NPM

Forked the default theme and made some modifications. Then published it to npm and ran sudo npm install package and restarted the forum. The theme is still not loading. Any suggestions?

I re-ran the ./nodebb setup and IDK what happened but now I have it working. Thanks for the help!

Just did this:

New Port

http://exo.slatt.in:4567/

Still broken

@pitaj I did. Is it because I am using :80 instead of the default.

Well now the site is live but the default theme is all fucked. http://exo.slatt.in/

Looks like it is working. You are a G dude. (FYI yall should put under your system requirements >512mb ram) if that is a common issue.

Well I just tried to do a fresh install and now when I run the npm i --production I get:

Killed           ..] / extract:nodebb-theme-persona: sill gunzTarPerm extractEntry test/less/errors/mixed-mixin-definition-args-2.txt

(but mongodb is working)

Looks like my mongodb is failing:

root@nodebb:/opt/nodebb# service mongod status
● mongod.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2017-07-02 05:28:18 UTC; 24h ago

root@nodebb:/opt/nodebb#

I followed the install directions on the docs but was never given the NodeBB Setup Completed. message or prompted to enter an admin u and p so IDK if that is what went wrong but now when I ./nodebb start I get this:

Any ideas?
