Having issues starting wiki.js

[Abraxos]

Hello,

I've been using wiki.js for a little while and I have been following the linux setup documentation. After a recent update to 2.5.219 (using node v 17.0.1) I get the following error when I attempt to start wiki.js:

/usr/bin/node server

This error occurs when I try to start it in my normal configuration as the www-data user and as root when trying to debug.

Has anyone seen this issue before? Any advice on what is happening?

Hi @Abraxos,

I'm experiencing the same issue with a fresh install of v2.5.219 and haven't been able to sort it out.

I'm running:
Node.js v17.0.1
MariaDB v10.3.31

Hooray! I am not the only one!

Try using Node.js 16.x

[Abraxos]

That worked. Should I mark this as the answer? Or should I do something to make sure that this is logged as an issue to be fixed for Node 17?

[NGPixel]

Odd-numbered Node.js versions are usually not supported. However this was already being thrown as a warning in node 16.x installations so I'm already looking into a fix, which will be backported to 2.x.

Thanks @NGPixel, that fixed the issue for me as well.

@NGPixel - Perfect, thank you so much!
