Hi folks,

I am grateful, that I can give something back to the community.
This is only the short excerpt of the console.
But the forum is working

Basically, I was just installing the modules, which nodebb meant where missing.
that did the job.

This is my solution,
may it be helpful to others.

$ ./nodebb upgrade
Error: Cannot find module '/opt/nodebb/node_modules/request-promise-native/lib/rp.js'.
$ npm install request-promise-native

$ ./nodebb upgrade
error: uncaughtException: Cannot find module 'request-promise-core/configure/request2'
$ npm install request-promise-core

$ ./nodebb upgrade
error: Error: Cannot find module 'stealthy-require'
$ npm install stealthy-require

You made my day!
I think I need to take more care of the versions ...

Is there any chance I can buy you a coffee or a beer,
to value your work?

Hi,
there was a problem with old plugins.
For the future I wold suggest to list all active used plugins.
Then disabling all of them and the update the forum.
If eveything is ok, update the plugins step by step to see if something goes wrong.

@PitaJ
Thanks for yopur help.
In the future I have to read the error messages more carefully.
The "bad" plugins were mentioned there
