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

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": "[email protected]"
}'

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

sfchun

1.0.4 is not out yet right (not released) ?
Watching the github
If I understand by the time I'm writing these lines , le last tag shows : v1.0.4-auto.9

sfchun

The 24h delay was the issue.

Thank you.

sfchun

haha! might be this -_-;
But a more explicit error message would be nice

Hello ,

Recently I invited friends to join my forum, and I found back an old issue, but I guess this time it won't be the same problem origin...
previous case : [Invited (future) users can't register](https://community.nodebb.org/topic/6525/invited-future-users-can-t-register url)

Nodebb : latest version
plugin : Emailer (Local) latest version

When an invited friend (with clear cache/cookies) , click on the link to register, he get an invalid token error message.

link received to register looks like :
http://mydomain.com/register?token=65a03575-8a79-4010-ae1f-d94c9fe7f8cd&email=my.friend%40hisprovider.com

Here is what I get in my logs :

22/1 11:59 [971] - [31merror[39m: /register

Thanks for your help

Thanks a lot for updating, and information !

sfchun

Ok right , it works now.

Keep default theme until others are fixed to allow invitation to people.
modify url from localhost to mydomain.com in config.json solved the 'wrong url' send by mail
after this ,
clearing cache in browser will avoid having invalid csrf token error.

Do you have an idea on when the themes will be fixed ?
and how to update them ?

Was wondering if : git pull is necessary before doing : ./nodebb upgrade ?

sfchun

I've try everything, even clean install from scratch.
each time I modify the url in config.json right after, any attempt to access the forum is rejected.
reverting to the old reference change nothing...

18/9 20:01 [18732] - error: /login
invalid csrf token

sfchun

localhost:4567 was in url field in config.json
I modified manually to mydomain.com, restarted nodebb... since then it is impossible to login anymore...
I'm stuck...
Even reverting back to localhost:4567 does not help ... -_-;

sfchun

Answer found !

Invitation button in user tab is NOT working if the theme is not the default one.

nodebb-theme-persona (default) : Ok
nodebb-theme-vanilla : Fails
nodebb-theme-lavender : Fails

And now mail is sent to the user , but link from the mail point to : localhost:4567 ...

sfchun

I have one error that comes when the main page is loaded :
WebSocket connection to 'ws://mydomain.com/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket&sid=f7lp9ue1TJNpSNzkAAAS' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

But other than this one no error reported, no error when I click on : invitation
