Sridhar_Katakam is having trouble installing Discourse on Nodechef, despite following the wizard’s setup process and providing an admin email. The installation URL (http://forum-wpdevdesign-5038.nodechef.com) displays an error message stating that the admin email was not provided. Additionally, a CNAME setup in Cloudflare is not working as expected.
mpalmer suggested that the issue may be specific to Nodechef and that the official installation instructions should be followed for support. However, Sridhar_Katakam clarified that the Nodechef wizard does not allow for unusual configurations.
codinghorror pointed out that paid hosting services should be contacted directly for support. Ultimately, Sridhar_Katakam was able to resolve the issue with help from Nodechef.
I have just installed Discourse on Nodechef but am having trouble getting it to work. I sent the following in a ticket to them but thought I may get quicker help here.
This is the installation URL: http://forum-wpdevdesign-5038.nodechef.com. When I visit that, it says that admin email was not provided during the installation. But I did provide one during the set up.
Unless you’ve followed the official installation instructions, I’m afraid you’re likely to be on your own. We can’t know what unusual things you’ve done, or how the platform you’re targeting works, so it’s impossible to say for sure what you need to do to fix it.
Nodechef provides a wizard wherein I enter the forum name (for their internal subdomain) and provide a few details like my desired admin email and password and it creates the Discourse forum. There is nothing unusual that could possibly be done (by the user) during the install.
I will wait for their reply to my support ticket. If Nodechef doesn’t work out, I’ll then try Communiteq (formerly DiscourseHosting).
