@exodo . thank you . I managed to install and configure. However after first msg is sent from telegram, nodebb got broken and stopped working.

Its strange , there is no reference to the plugin in the error log...luckily i was clearly noting down action i was doing...and guessed something going wrong here...after i removed the plug in , forum got up and running...i am able to reproduce it now..v0.8.2 is not liking something, but dont know what. Hope u r able to find it...I like the plug in..if this is resolved,...i will surely use it..thanks for ur effort...

following is the error log

Hello,

1. I am running on 9.3 and today, when tried to click on Plugins-->Install Plugin menu from ACP, no action was happening (like bringing in plugin list)
2. So I was checking the log file on the server and noticed whenever I clicked Install Plugin menu from ACP, nodebb automatically shuts itself down and restarting.

I could not understand any obvious error...some warning about couple of plugin compatibility are show in log, but that were always there for a month and it did not cause any issue so far till now.

In the last weeks or so, I installed few plugins , but i did not realize this issue or this was never there till today

1. Uninstalled -- nodebb-plugin-google-adsense

2. Installed -- nodebb-plugin-adsense

3. Installed -- nodebb-plugin-ns-likes

4. Installed -- nodebb-widget-ns-stats

Following is the log file output, Pls help...
