Domain not resolving to forum (Nginx)

radwic

Hi everyone,

I have been at this all day and cannot see what I am doing wrong. My domain name is not resolving to my NodeBB installation, however it is accessible by http://ip:port.

In DigitalOcean it's set up to forward with an A record pointing to the ip.

I am using Nginx, which is successfully installed but obviously configured wrong somewhere I'm not seeing. Here is my config:

Here is my config.json:
alt text

Also, my DNS is resolving to the correct IP from what I can see. If I ping forum.domain.com, it's also returning the IP.

Any help is greatly appreciated in advance! Let me know what other info I can provide.

@radwic any chance you're being transparently redirected to HTTPS?

Your nginx config only seems to be responding to non-SSL requests.

@julian That was it, LOL. Thank you! I thought I already checked that but turns out my browser kept redirecting to HTTPS anyway. FYI (and for future readers) the easiest fix is to use certbot for an SSL cert, took me 2 minutes
