Talk: Installing CoralProject Talk v.5; issues on gui installation

[martinmags]

Expected behavior:
Finish installing Talk v.5

Actual behavior:
After following the documentation on installing v.5, I got an "Internal Error" message after clicking the "Finish Install" button. Then clicking the same button a second time, I get the following message "Tenant has already been installed already":

If I refresh, I get redirected to the following url:
http://localhost:3000/admin/moderate/reported

In the browser's console, I notice the following errors:

In my local terminal console, I get the following output:

From the outputted errors you're seeing on the server, I'm guessing that at some point, you had Coral installed. You may already have a cookie/localstorage item from a prior installation that is causing the error you're seeing.

Try dropping the Coral database you're interacting with and retrying the install after clearing all cookies from your browser.

Hmm, that's weird. I cleared the cookies and everything. It fixed the redirection issue, but I was still getting the tenant error during the installation after a fresh install. When I refresh, I get redirected to the sign in now, but the email and password I registered during the installation won't work.

I got the same errors when I tried to run coral from source and install locally on Ubuntu 19.4. Mongo and redis was running via docker on the same host.

I tried several times and deleted the database and redis containers and cleared cache between every try.

At the last step in the installation when I click finish install, I get the Internal Error message. And in the the log it shows up as "MongoError: ns not found." (ns not found)

exports.errorLogger): http error (clusterNode=master, context=http, contextID=0271b3d0-e8ed-11e9-ab7f-255026512170)
    err: {

    }

If I press finish install again I get the "Tenant has already been installed already"-error. This shows up in the log as:

      }
    }

Looks like its related to mongo. First it adds something to the database, but with an error. Then when I try again it says it's already installed.

This is the docker mongo log, not sure if it helps.
