I was going to look into it, but it must be the redis npm package.

Thanks guys! Looking forward to using NodeBB! I'm excited!

Can I just say, really shitty experience today.

I posted an issue in Github, which was immediately closed and he told me to post in here.

Then a moderator is saying that my password is incorrect?

It's a bug.

Just like @zoharm, I was able to fix the issue.

** The issue has nothing to do with Heroku ** I was able to recreate the issue locally. This issue is entirely related to a redis server having a password.

My fix was to add the lines in in nodebb/src/database/redis.js (https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/database/redis.js) at line 77:

if (nconf.get('redis:password')) {
options.password = nconf.get('redis:password');
}

My guess is that the redis package was updated and introduced the bug.

Should probably issue a fix ASAP as no one with redis and a password will work with a new install.

Also, maybe don't close out issues immediately for something that is straight up a new bug. Oh and uh, fix yo shit.

I've installed it locally on my Mac too. Same results.

Perhaps theres been an installation script regression?

I just exactly followed the instructions here: https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/cloud/heroku.html

I don't know what I should change.

I've attempted a heroku install 2 times: https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/cloud/heroku.html

I get through the whole installation but the app crashes every time.

config.json:

{
  "url": "https://XXXX.herokuapp.com/",
  "secret": "XXXX-dd58a9fcc495",
  "database": "redis",
  "redis": {
    "host": "sculpin.redistogo.com",
    "port": "10027",
    "password": "XXXX",
    "database": "0"
  }
}

Any idea what I should do to fix it?
