Hello

Recently my server was forced to restart violently few times ... (hardware issue)

Honnestly I dont know if this is linked to this problem, but now I run the following issue :
nodebb 1.10.2, the admin page is no more accessible ...

url :

mydomain/<!DOCTYPE%20html><html><head>%20%20%20%20<meta%20name=?loggedin=true

error :

/<!DOCTYPE%20html><html><head>%20%20%20%20<meta%20name= Introuvable
Il semble que vous ayez atteint une page qui n'existe pas. Retourner à la page d'accueil.

Error Translation :

=Not Found
It seems you reach a page that does not exists. Go back to home page.

Thanks a lot for you help.

@sfchun said in nodeBB 1.8.2 ubuntu16.04.2 redis install from scratch:

node app --setup

I guess that was not the right step here.
I copied the content of package.json from my running nodebb

2018-04-19T07:47:44.529Z [450] - info: Launching web installer on port 4567
2018-04-19T07:47:44.931Z [450] - info: Web installer listening on http://0.0.0.0:4567

Now everything is fine, but sadly I dont know how this file was originaly generated it seems it does not come from nodebb github repo ...

At least I can continue !...

Yup

Ubuntu (Recommended) - NodeBB Documentation

Using mongodb , in my case I use redis

Following this thread :
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/12235/moving-to-another-server
Posting here (cause I could not edit my original post, reported as spam?? ).

Ok I run in an epic failure ... spend the evening on it without success ...
Let me explain ...
I couldn' t find an explicit official step by step procedure on how to properly install nodejs npm nodebb ... and since I' m not an expert regarding nodejs stuff ... I was mixing the documentations found on google from here and there (I hate doing this).

Anyways ... Here he all the steps I followed, maybe someone can point the mistakes , and help me to go further...

Base system (already installed, working fine) :

Ubuntu 16.04.2 Server 64bit
nginx 1.10.3
Redis server v=3.0.6

Final Goal :

Install nodebb 1.8.2
recover imported redisdb content.

\
\

$ sudo apt install build-essential tcl libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libpcre3 libpcre3-dev unzip uuid-dev
$ sudo apt install python-software-properties git sed supervisor imagemagick

$ cd /var/www/
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git mydomain.com
$ sudo chown -R myuser:www-data mydomain.com
$ cd mydomain.com/
$ LastTAGversion=$(git tag | grep -v auto | tail -1)
$ git checkout "tags/${LastTAGversion}"

$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs

Not sure about what to answer to the next step (just pressed enter to all questions)

$ sudo npm init

$ sudo npm install -g npm@latest
$ sudo npm install --production

$ sudo -i
# cd /usr/local/bin/
# ln -s /usr/bin/npm npm

$ nodejs --version
v8.11.1

$ npm --version
5.8.0

until now all seems to be fine... then ... the issue happens ...

$ node app --setup='{ 
    "base_url": "http://mydomain.com",
    "admin:username": "adminuser", 
    "admin:password": "password", 
    "admin:password:confirm": "password",
    "admin:email": "myuser@mail.com"
}'

module.js:472
    throw err;
    ^

I have no more clues here, and all the posts I' ve seen regarding the last error message does not help me
stuck.

Saw this threads in the suggested topic
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/6260/moving-a-nodebb-install-from-one-server-to-another/4

I will give it a try later.

Hello,

On an ubuntu14 vm I'm currently running a nodebb 1.8.2 coupled with a redis 3.0.6 using php 5.

My plan is to move this forum on a ubuntu16 physical machine running php7.

Is there a procedure to backup/restore the nodeBB ?
Or should I try to find a manual way of transfering my redis DB ?

Thanks,

sfchun

ooops =P
