@PopsRocker can you paste both nodebb & nginx config here? I think you're missing something.

Thanks @nhl-pl I was using Ajenti V and the only reason I switched away from using it was do to the lack of documentation. I have used the traditional Apache based web server setups for many years and the Nginx server was all foreign to me so it was a challenge any time I wanted to add something or even troubleshooting issues. It reminds me of when I was evaluating blog/cms alternatives for a Coldfusion based website back when Wordpress was less than a year old. I looked at Wordpress and Drupal and decided to go with Wordpress because at the time Drupal was too complicated and didn't have very good documentation. I switched to Drupal just before Drupal 7 came out and was amazed at the progress it had made and how much simpler it was from what I remembered. It is possible however, that it seemed easier because my knowledge base was a lot bigger. That was a long winded way of saying I may revisit Ajenti eventually once I have learned more about the Nginx and Node.js way of server management. Thanks ... Pops

@baris said: The error message is telling you that it can't access/save the file. Make sure the user you are running the commands has the proper permissions. I wondered that too, I was using a user I specifically created for this task in order to not use the root user as I thought it was not a good practice to do. Especially since the instructions indicate a sudo user. Usually I can figure out permission issues, but for some reason I have not been able to solve this one. The installation does get further when using the root user, so there is definitely a permission issue. The error I get now is related to the connection of the Redis database. I get a connection refused error when using the IP of the server. The abort error shows the IP address and default port number so I have no idea how to connect the database. Here's the latest console information ...

@meetdilip said: @a_5mith A few doubts, Copy files from folder to which we have installed ? The github repo, so you'd have a folder called nodebb with all of the nodebb files in, then a folder called nodebb2, which also contains all the nodebb files. Share the command to change port no. please.. ./nodebb setup, but change :4567 to something else. How to assign new folder / installation to database 2 ? You answered this in your next post, change the 0 in database to 1. Should we run ./nodebb setup after copying the files ( installed ? ) to a new folder ? You will need to yes in order to set it up, you'll also need to run npm install to get the dependencies installed in that location.
