Upgrade Problem from 2.8.3 to 2.8.4

[cagatay]

This is my problem that faced when upgrade from 2.8.3 to 2.8.4.

[phenomlab]

You are getting that message because you have the three plugins below installed which all depend on nodebb-plugin-emoji so you cannot remove the main plugin without first removing those

I’ve done it for you anyway

You should be able to upgrade now.

[phenomlab]

@cagatay that looks very much like a permissions error. Are you attempting the upgrade as the user running NodeBB ?

[DownPW]

Seems to be a permission problem.

test ./nodebb upgrade command with root user. (not good but I have this problem one time ago resolved like this) (Mark will yell at me )

go to normal nodebb user and ./nodebb upgrade again

[cagatay]

@phenomlab its very interesting but upgrade is done when i login admin panel and nodebb is working without problem.

so sould i upgrade again by root?

PS: i always use user not root but user has sudo command

[phenomlab]

@cagatay If the upgrade appears to have worked, then you don’t need to run it again, but I would certainly take a look at the nodebb-plugin-emoji issue in more detail as this is 100% a permissions issue

[cagatay]

@phenomlab faced same problem for upgrade to 2.8.5

Mark do you have this plugin on Sudonix? And which version are you running?

[phenomlab]

@cagatay Yes, I do, but it’s not a version issue - it’s permissions.

[cagatay]

@phenomlab permission for user right? so i did not change any permison for nodebb user so why it caused or what i should do for to give permision to nodebb user? till 2.8.2 nodebb user can upgrade any permission case what happened with 2.8.4

[phenomlab]

@cagatay are you able to remove that plugin and reinstall or does it present the same error?

[cagatay]

@phenomlab yeap i removed the plugin and reinstall it problem is fixed.

[cagatay]

@phenomlab i deleted emoji plugin but while upgraded to 2.8.6 faced same problem.
cant understand whats going on.

[phenomlab]

@cagatay can you provide the logs?

[cagatay]

@phenomlab from now like this;

but when upgrading;

[phenomlab]

@cagatay does it work if you remove this plugin, perform the upgrade, and then put it back afterwards?

[cagatay]

@phenomlab i removed the plugin then upgraded but faced same eror…

[DownPW]

@cagatay @phenomlab

Maybe reset permissions on all nodebb directory like this ?

chown -R yournodebbuser:yournodebbuser /home/youruser/yournodebbdirectory

chown -R nodes:nodes /home/nodes/nodebb

because I see permissions error on /home/nodes/nodebb/builds/.... in the last screenshot

And .upgrade and or rebuild nodebb

??

[phenomlab]

@DownPW yes, but we really need to understand why and how these permissions are changing.

[phenomlab]

@DownPW @cagatay I found the reason why. This plugin is in fact faulty. I installed it myself because I wanted to add that feature to Sudonix. Not only does it push socket.io through the roof (and adds at least 2 seconds lag to each transaction)

It also is impossible to remove by using the GUI - see my experience below, which is exactly the same as @cagatay

Not great. The only way to remove this cleanly is from the CLI

npm remove @nodebb/nodebb-plugin-reactions
./nodebb build
./nodebb restart

I remember flagging this a while back - it’s here

And here (one I raised)

So, my advice is NOT to use this plugin currently as the unnecessary load it places on your forum isn’t worth the functionality it provides.

[cagatay]

@phenomlab i dont have this plugin Mark. So the problem is currently continue.

[phenomlab]

@cagatay Sorry - my mistake.
