@scottalanmiller said in NodeBB wont start, Windows:

ls -lah

Does has a similar command for windows?

EDIT:
dir

Hey @baris thanks for the answer, but idk how i can fix it.

I still with the problem

I did a test auth with Studio 3D, and worked.. only doenst work with nodebb start.

@PitaJ MongoDB server version: 4.0.5

Same, the windows of nodebb starting on node keep closing,

{
"url": "http://localhost:4567",
"secret": "7fb60f7f-0586-4114-8f49-3ef55e3c1792",
"database": "mongo",
"port": "4567",
"mongo": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "27017",
"username": "nodebb",
"password": "SOh3TbY",
"database": "nodebb",
}
}

tried with only localhost and without PORT at url too.

Hi guys, i installed nodebb on my windows, but after the instalation, the nodebb wont start.

Output
2019-05-10T23:19:31.042Z [4567/11360] - info: Initializing NodeBB v1.12.1 http://localhost:4567

I already tried with MongoD running and stopped.

And i checked the password, i open with the mongodbcommunity and did the auth with success...

the data at nodebb config file are right too..

{
    "url": "http://localhost:4567",
    "secret": "7fb60f7f-0586-4114-8f49-3ef55e3c1792",

        "password": "SOh3TbY",
        "database": "nodebb",
        "uri": ""
    }
}

I dont know more what i can try.
