Stuck in Startup/Restart Loop

nyedid commented 6 years ago

In attempting to deal with this issue #560, looking at the logs revealed another issue.
For context, Wiki.js is running in a VM using Linux with CentOS.
We were unable to get the Docker image to work previously and this was the only way we could get Wiki.js up.

Actual behavior

Wiki.js continually gets stuck in a loop on startup.

Here is an output of the log and error log.

[user@some_host]$ sudo node wiki start
✔ Wiki.js has started successfully.

Expected behavior

Expect that Wiki.js would initialize and stay started up after:

- Start wikijs: sudo node wiki start
- Stop wikijs: sudo node wiki stop

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Restart Wiki.js

Start in interactive mode and look for errors: node server

Where is the parameter to change for starting in interactive mode? We can't find it.
