  • @Madchatthew can you post the configuration you have for the service?

    This is the Nginx conf file

    I started with this code and the above code is from a google search. This code below, I did also try it with the correct path for node.

    The “/usr/bin/env node” is where node is located that I found from using a command.
    I also get a 502 Bad Gateway when I start either ./nodebb start or node loader.js.

    When I do “sudo systemctl status nodebb” after using “sudo systemctl start nodebb”, I get the following.

    Sorry this post is so long and thank you for your help.

    Update: I just ran the status for nginx and received the below. So the 192.168.1.10 is my windows PC and the connection was refused. Would I need to add the port to ufw in order for this to work, or is this a different issue.

    Update: adding those ports to ufw did not fix it.

  • @Madchatthew connection refused typically means that port is being used elsewhere.

    What’s the output of

    ./nodebb log
    
  • @phenomlab

    [nodebb@morecowbell public_html]$ ./nodebb log
    
    Hit Ctrl-C to exit
    
    
    tail: cannot open './logs/output.log' for reading: No such file or directory
    
  • @Madchatthew hmm. That doesn’t look like it’s properly installed, or you have a permissions issue. What user are launching NodeBB as?

    Can you try

    ./nodebb dev
    
  • @phenomlab said in Mongodb or Redis:

    ./nodebb dev
    

    I will give this a try this evening. At work now.

  • @Madchatthew thanks. Let me know.

  • @phenomlab here are those results. It is a little long but I wanted to make sure you were getting the whole picture.

  • Woot, I figured it out man!!! First off, in the config.json, i forgot to put the redis password on it. Then I was having trouble connecting to mongodb. I was googling, changing the config and finally did a sudo systemctl status mongodb to find out it wasn’t even running. So I enabled it, then started it and boom using ./nodebb dev started it right now.

    So then I went back in and configured my nodebb.service file to match what nodebb had on their site and BOOOM it is working. By using the scaling method, nodebb runs even faster and I don’t get the 503 error when refreshing.

    I have learned a lot by going through all of this and it is pretty awesome! Now having this complete, I have some more testing to do, but I am many steps closer to using Arch as my production server.

  • @Madchatthew Excellent! I looked at the error message above, and it does seem that your MongoDB configuration has been set to require authentication (which is correct), but seems the password was missing.

  • @phenomlab yeah I looked through the error log more carefully and found the Redis auth part first, then when that was cleared up I found the Mongodb auth error. Probably should have figured that one out first, but oh well hahah

  • @Madchatthew still a great catch.
