Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you experience difficulties setting up a NodeBB instance, perhaps one of the following may help.
|
|
|
|
Is it possible to install NodeBB via FTP?
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
It is possible to transfer the files to your remote server using FTP, but you do require shell access to the server in order to actually "start" NodeBB. Here is `a handy guide for installing NodeBB on DigitalOcean <http://burnaftercompiling.com/nodebb/setting-up-a-nodebb-forum-for-dummies/>`_

|
I'm getting an "npm ERR!" error
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
For the most part, errors involving ``npm`` are due to Node.js being outdated. If you see an error similar to this one while running ``npm install``:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
npm ERR! Unsupported
|
|
npm ERR! Not compatible with your version of node/npm: connect@2.7.11
|
|
|
|
You'll need to update your Node.js version to 0.8 or higher.
|
|
|
|
To do this on Ubuntu:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
# add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
|
|
# apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y
|
|
# apt-cache policy nodejs // should show a version higher than 0.8
|
|
|
|
I upgraded NodeBB and now X isn't working properly!
