Null Error Using shareLaTeX Editor

Hello!

I downloaded shareLaTeX onto my Vagrant VM using the ansible script. However, after about 5-10 minutes of using the LaTeX editor, it aborts with the following warning:

Warning: -> error null /webapps/sharelatex/clsi/app.js (6392454ms) Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.
Warning: Use --force to continue.

    Aborted due to warnings.

What does this error message mean and how would I go about fixing it?

Versioning

When trying to get a snapshot of a current project, an error is thrown:

ERROR: web-sharelatex/1333 on precise64: versioning API error
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
at errnoException (net.js:904:11)
at Object.afterConnect as oncomplete

Is versioning working?

msg: github.com has an unknown hostkey.

Hi,

tried to use your script but I receive the following error message after running vagrant up:

msg: github.com has an unknown hostkey. Set accept_hostkey to True or manually add the hostkey prior to running the git module
FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

What shall I do?

sharelatex doesn't run as per the instructions

The readme says to run "grunt" in "/webapps/sharelatex".
But that doesn't work for me:

vagrant@precise64:~$ cd /webapps/sharelatex
vagrant@precise64:/webapps/sharelatex$ grunt run
grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface. (v0.1.13)

Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.

If you're seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn't found or grunt
hasn't been installed locally to your project. For more information about
installing and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:

http://gruntjs.com/getting-started
vagrant@precise64:/webapps/sharelatex$ ls
vagrant@precise64:/webapps/sharelatex$ 

So either the ansible playbook is not really describing the necessary state or the instructions are incomplete.

`playbook` must be set for the Ansible provisioner.

I pulled the latest version from git yesterday and now I see the following error message:

There are errors in the configuration of this machine. Please fix
the following errors and try again:
ansible provisioner:

• playbook must be set for the Ansible provisioner.

Unable to start sharelatex

Dear All,
I setup a sharelatex VM via vagrant up in my Ubuntu server, everything is ok. I also assign 3Gb memory to the VM. But when I run grunt run, the info is shown as following:

vagrant@precise64:/webapps/sharelatex$ grunt run
Running "concurrent:all" (concurrent) task
Running "concurrent:all" (concurrent) task
Running "concurrent:all" (concurrent) task
Running "concurrent:all" (concurrent) task
Running "concurrent:all" (concurrent) task
Running "concurrent:all" (concurrent) task
Running "concurrent:all" (concurrent) task
Running "concurrent:all" (concurrent) task

There is no any other info which make me feel confused. I also cannot access http://localhost:3002/. I am unable to solve the problem.

'origin' does not appear to be a git repository

for me vagrant provision ends with
