I installed etherpad-lite on Debian 7 - I also configured NPM and Node.js, but if I try to open etherpad, I'm getting this error:

{ "error": "Sorry, something bad happened!" }

On the console I'm getting: 

etherpad@pad:~/local/etherpad/etherpad-lite$ bin/run.sh
Ensure that all dependencies are up to date...  If this is the first time you have run Etherpad please be patient.
npm WARN package.json async-stacktrace@0.0.2 No repository field.
npm WARN package.json channels@0.0.4 No repository field.
npm WARN package.json tinycon@0.0.1 No repository field.
Ensure jQuery is downloaded and up to date...
Clear minfified cache...
Ensure custom css/js files are created...
Started Etherpad...

Any idea, what I can do here to solve this?

    I think you would be better served by opening an issue on GitHub. This is not the place to report bugs in applications. – Michael Hampton Jan 04 '15 at 14:36
  • Hi there, I don't think it's a bug, I guess I did a mistake in the configuration. But I'm not sure. – MyFault Jan 04 '15 at 14:41
  • Did you write the code that caused that error, then? – Michael Hampton Jan 04 '15 at 14:44
  • Hi Michael, no, I did not. I guess that this error could be caused by this? npm WARN package.json async-stacktrace@0.0.2 No repository field. npm WARN package.json channels@0.0.4 No repository field. npm WARN package.json tinycon@0.0.1 No repository field. – MyFault Jan 04 '15 at 14:45

    HI, did you find a solution, I am having the same error... searching the web, I can not find any solution.. – schurtertom Jan 04 '15 at 22:33
  • Last time I set up Etherpad Lite it would only run with a specific version of node. It would be worth checking that the versions of all components match the installation guide. – johnk Jan 05 '15 at 04:15
