Looks rad

I restarted nginx, and do so whenever I try to make changes, but it's not working... Is something like this valid? I made sure the file in sites-available and sites-enabled are linked.

upstream io_nodes {
ip_hash;
server 127.0.0.1:4567;
}

server {

    try_files $uri $uri/ @nodebb;
}

location / {
    proxy_pass http://io_nodes;
}
}

Edit: Error came back. @_@ I'll get back to it later.

You have had default /mynodebb/server.js and it should be /mynodebb/app.js. Error has gone so I guess you're up and running.

Just remember to restart nginx after changing config files.

Are you referring to "forever start --spinSleepTime 10000 main.js"? I had replaced "main" with "app" before restoring.

I setup nginx and went through this:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-nginx-server-blocks-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts

And sort of went through this:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-host-multiple-node-js-applications-on-a-single-vps-with-nginx-forever-and-crontab

But I messed around with the config.json file not realizing any better, but it kind of falls back on the port so I can still see my forum and but broke it and now it's having this error:

nevermind, see below

I have simple static files here showing up: http://www.violetcomics.com/

But for the forum I want the url not to show the port number and have it somewhere like http://www.violetcomics.com/forum or http://dev.violetcomics.com/forum and not have the gross port number show.

Note: I can restore a snapshot back to before installing nginx and messing up everything but is it possible to undo-EDIT - Nevermind: Snapshotted back.

Edit2: Installing nginx again...

Edit3: Re-installed nginx with one server block enabled (non-NodeBB-related), seen here: http://www.violetcomics.com/

Except Atom doesn't seem to have a paywall...?

After doing some other stuff like resetting themes and reloading, restarting, it seems to be working now. I wonder if it's related to this, which also happened: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4129/new-topic-no-display-nodebb-0-7-0-ubuntu-14-10

And lol I forgot to install Persona. Whoops.

I just pulled the latest commit and it seems to be working now. Yessss, thank you. (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I kind of have the same issue. The icons are kind of a bit too small too to really click on them.

I havn't add the opportunity to play with it, but I am looking forward to it. A lot of people like Windows 7 over Windows 8, but I prefer Windows 8 over Windows 7 and I don't even have a touch screen. I am actually glad there isn't a "Start Menu". I find myself always getting lost or spending more time looking for "Applications". I just click the "Windows" thing on my keyboard and start typing the name of the application or feature.

I have 8.1 and although it was a bit of a cultural-ish shock for me to have a different "start" menu, I ended up enjoying it. It seems like Windows is starting to really try to behave like Linux while still being Windows.

Now that I'm well fed and not really freaking out over everything I decided to reinstall it, but take a immediate snapshot of the Droplet after successfully setting up the thing, which I would recommend to anyone using Digital Ocean or something similar to do. I'll probably just leave the rewards alone for now and just focus on the stable stuff that I used before this version.

I think it might be an OS thing: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11600006/how-to-create-a-configuration-file-for-mongodb

I just wiped out my droplet and tried re-installing without sleeping. Ugh. No. Why did I. Good night.

Can't wait till this one works. My NodeBB usage came to a halt , master branch also doesn't display badges correctly.

Will be so freakin' awesome when this is working.

Oh! I think that's when it actually glitched out. I was playing around with badge colors for the group and then went back to the rewards page and then poof. It went.

I almost just broke the app just now trying to fix this but I managed to get everything back up except for the rewards page. I might just back everything up and do a stable install (after sleeping which I didn't do). It's a really nice new version though.

I was playing around with it, it seemed to be working. I was trying to create a group where if you reached a certain number of posts or greater, you'll end up in a group called "Postranomic" but it glitched out somewhere.

From a portion of the log that seemed weird:

29/3 09:18 [10366] - error: TypeError: Cannot set property 'rewards' of null

Host: Digital Ocean with MEAN stack, Ubuntu 14.04, NodeBB 0.7.0-dev (installed the dev version by accident maybe I should re-install with the stable version...?)

Can't wait to install this.

So... As far as npm install I'm having issues pretty much the same here: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/540/-nodebb-theme-lavender-lavender-theme-for-nodebb/73 (at the bottom) but I'm not sure how to reinstall npm on the stack or if that would even help.

I guess I should be developing Node.js on linux but so far I've been dual booting and I'm thinking about investing in like a Gigabyte Brix and having two monitors side by side (or even a KVM switch). I use Windows for graphics and I like Ubuntu for developing stuff and it's kind of my dream setup to begin with.

Edit: After rolling around in bed and drinking some coffee, I manually inserted the lavender theme in the node_modules folder, removed it from the npm-shrinkwrap.json file (created a npm-shrinkwrap-backup don't worry), and tried npm install again. It seemed to work up until "[email protected]" saying "no repository field" as a warning. I had to ctrl-C because it was literally stuck there. Now I have a bunch of nice modules installed in the node_modules folder but I'm assuming not all of them to be able to get NodeBB up and running.
Tl;Dr: npm is really not liking .tgz I think

Edit 2: I screwed up the entire NodeBB installation by typing node app too early and rushing everything. I'm going to take a break and probably upgrade the Ubuntu partition I have and do everything on there.

I've played around briefly with the Node.js setup on Nitrious.io and it's free to use for one box. It's kind of impressive. I haven't used NodeBB with it but I guess it shouldn't be too hard to set it up on there and play around with it due to the built-in text-editor and terminal. The priced plans are kind of price-y though.

My guess is that you probably won't even need build-essential (or it should already be installed). I have no experience using Bitnami yet so I can't really help you much. Hopefully you figure it out though

Cool. Thank you. I'll just take baby steps.

I'm pretty much new to Node.js in general, although I played around with the ExpressJS a bit so far and I'm liking it. I'm using the Bitnami MeanStack on Windows and I'm just wondering if I need to know anything important before I end up breaking stuff or ruining my stack or something... (´･_･`) Like, I'm looking at this and I'm wondering how build-essential and imagemagick would translate into this - or can I skip that part?

Some quick version info:
Node: 0.10.26
MongoDB: 2.4.10 (I think I'm getting 32-bit warnings because this is on a 64-bit machine.. Uhm.. I think the 2GB limit is the only problem though?)
npm: 1.4.3
git: 1.9.0

Thank you for reading this and being patient. Maybe this will make sense post-sleeping after 12am. (@_@ ; )
