@julian hi thanks.

But i am still getting ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

This site can’t be reached
mydroiplet ip took too long to respond.

@pitaj but i cant access it on http://mydroplerIp:4567 its giving me 500 error

@teh_g said in Installation Error:

@juliereader You should probably change the password for mongo, since you posted it publicly.

The URL value in the config.json also needs to match what you are trying to connect to. You have localhost specified, but you need to use "mydropletip"

the pass is dummy pass not real :)
and where do I use the droplet ip ?
in HOST value or in URL value ?

Hi again,

So it seems that the Nodebb is finally installed however i am unable to access it on http://mydropletip:4567

Here is the config.json file

"url": "http://localhost:4567",
"secret": "91cc276d-611c-415c-9c73-7fb12e44930g",
"database": "mongo",
"mongo": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "27017",
"username": "dbusername",
"password": "password3",
"database": "dbname",
"uri": ""
}

also when i try to check whether nodebb is running fine or not i got these 2 errors

error: NodeBB address in use, exiting... Error: listen EADDRINUSE 0.0.0.0:4567
