NodeBB 1.19.3

[DownPW]

Seems to be my VM virtual disk the problem.

I try to reinstall Nodebb, very odd i have an internal server error

here is what I do:

#
# Installing Node.js
#

apt install curl
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

#
# Database: # Installing MongoDB
#

V5
curl -sSL https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-5.0.asc  -o mongoserver.asc
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./mongo_key_temp.gpg --import ./mongoserver.asc
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./mongo_key_temp.gpg --export > ./mongoserver_key.gpg
sudo mv mongoserver_key.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/

wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-5.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -

echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian buster/mongodb-org/5.0 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-5.0.list

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

sudo systemctl start mongod
sudo systemctl status mongod

mongo
use admin
> db.createUser( { user: "admin", pwd: "nodebb", roles: [ { role: "root", db: "admin" } ] } )

use nodebb
> db.createUser( { user: "nodebb", pwd: "nodebb", roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "nodebb" }, { role: "clusterMonitor", db: "admin" } ] } )

quit()

sudo nano /etc/mongod.conf
	security:
		authorization: enabled

sudo systemctl restart mongod


#
# Installing NodeBB
#

sudo apt install -y git

cd /home/nodebb
git clone -b v1.18.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb
cd nodebb

./nodebb setup
./nodebb start

very odd

[phenomlab]

@DownPW And did that work ?

[DownPW]

nope, i have test the installation for 2 times

this error when access:

internal server error

very odd, I’ve never had any problems when installing nodebb

[phenomlab]

@DownPW If you issue ./nodebb start does this work if you then issue ./nodebb log ? Sounds like a NGINX issue to me

[DownPW]

No nginx conf

./nodebb sytart = no error

./nodebb log when i access

@DownPW Potentially dumb question, but why is the path /home/nodebb/nodebb ?

Also, why are you trying to install the 18.x branch when you should be using 19.x ?

I see

cd /home/nodebb
git clone -b v1.18.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb
cd nodebb

This should be

cd /home/nodebb
git clone -b v1.19.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb
cd nodebb

[DownPW]

I have test to install 1.19.x too and i have error too

[phenomlab]

@DownPW and you are executing ./nodebb setup from the correct directory ?

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

yes

[DownPW]

I think they really have a problem on the github and coincidentally it’s a plugin on which they had big problems that was in question. (emoji)

[phenomlab]

@DownPW Looking at the error message, I’d say you’re right.

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

here a gif for the problem of perf.
On a clean install of nodeBB on a clean install server VM

The problem is just when I refresh the page entierly or ACP access

No problem on 1.18.x or 1.19.2

very odd

[phenomlab]

@DownPW Looks like that’s waiting for a response from something. Have you run this site through the F12 developer tools -> Network tab to see where the delay is ?

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

Thanks for the tip

chance

[phenomlab]

@DownPW 8ms is nothing - less than one second… ?

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

you not see at the good place
EDIT:

coincidence? Emoji CSS failed !
I don’t believe

I think we put the finger on something

[phenomlab]

@DownPW Yes, you’re right. For some strange reason, that CSS file is not being served - but should be on your server if you check the path.

[DownPW]

yes it still here

EDIT:

I have remove the directory when I have the problem of install with 1.18.x

But when I upgrade to 1.19.3, he have reinstalled by default

[phenomlab]

@DownPW I see this

[DownPW]

@phenomlab on your website ?
