    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:

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

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

    @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

    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)

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

    alt text

    No problem on 1.18.x or 1.19.2

    very odd

    @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 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.

    @cagatay The most reliable way to upgrade Node.js on Ubuntu depends on how you originally installed it. Method 1: Using NVM (Recommended) If you already use Node Version Manager (NVM), upgrading is simple. NVM allows you to keep both versions and switch between them if needed. Install Node 22: nvm install 22 Switch to Node 22: nvm use 22 Set it as your default: nvm alias default 22 Verify the change: node -v Method 2: Using NodeSource (PPA) If you installed Node.js via apt using the NodeSource repository, you need to update the repository script to point to the new version. Remove the old NodeSource list (optional but cleaner): sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list Download and run the NodeSource setup script for Node 22: curl -fsSL [https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x](https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x) | sudo -E bash - Install/Upgrade Node.js: sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Verify the installation: node -v Method 3: Using the ‘n’ Package If you have npm installed, you can use the n interactive manager. Clear the npm cache: sudo npm cache clean -f Install the ‘n’ helper: sudo npm install -g n Install Node 22: sudo n 22 Update your shell: hash -r Troubleshooting Permission Denied: If you see permission errors using Method 2 or 3, ensure you are using sudo. Path Issues: If node -v still shows version 20 after upgrading via NVM, restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc. Conflicts: Avoid mixing these methods. If you switch from apt to nvm, it is best to sudo apt remove nodejs first to avoid path conflicts.

    @crazycells hi - no security reason, or anything specific in this case. However, the nginx.conf I posted was from my Dev environment which uses this port as a way of not interfering with production. And yes, I use clustering on this site with three instances.

    @cagatay you’ll need to define this in the body tag (or another element if you want greater or more granular targets) - for example body { font-family: "Poppins"; font-size: 16px; } Essentially, you use the font-size CSS directive.
