Node.js v20.9.0

Everything seems to be working at the moment, just concerned I might have an issue still. Any ideas?

[si458]

It seems to think you are using mongodb, what's ur config.json like?

[sysopdm]

Hey Simon, I am using Monogodb. Is that not supported anymore?

[si458]

Its always been supported and still is?
We havent changed anything relating to mongodb?
Can you share ur config.json at all please? (Hide secret stuff obvs)

[sysopdm]

Sure.

Where can i find the Log Files to see what the issue is?

If i need to upgrade NODE how do i do that?

any help greatly appreciated

[si458]

for starters you are using an OLD version of node upgrade node if ur using ubuntu - https://github.com/nodesource/distributions#installation-instructions

[si458]

also mongo requires at least node 16!

"engines": {
    "node": ">=16.20.1"
}

Meshcentral isn't starting up correctly,
Is the a mesherrors.log file inside meshcentral-data? Is the any data inside it?

[itpilot]

si458 Thank you for your support

Is the mesherrors.log file inside meshcentral-data? Is the any data inside it - YES
mesherrors.txt

I have restarted the Meschcentral Server

The NODE Upgrade has completed and i can Login with 2FO

The problem is that it does log me in then for a brief moment i can see my Meshcentral Web Page and Devices then it Automatically LOGS ME OUT

Any ideas?

[si458]

mesherrors.txt shows } catch (ex) { console.log('Error loading plugin handler (' + e + ')'); } is the lines its crashing on
so it things you have plugins enabled and a plugin is faulty/incompitable
can you disable plugins in your config.json and see what happens?
also can you share ur config.json (hide secrets)

EDIT: also the line should be erroring out ex not e! will submit a fix for this line

[itpilot]

si458 Thank you very much for your quick response, much appreciated

Yes it was a Plugin that was the issue

I just disabled the plugins option in the config.json file then did a reboot

All is functional and working

Thank you very much for a Fantastic Application
