Domain name

@julian Thanks but it's still doesn't make sense to me I will read again in the morning but shell is new to me. Seems like me and @Kamal-Patel are in the same boat

Tried "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled "

It gave the out put:" -bash: /etc/nginx/sites-enabled: Is a directory".

Yes, that is a directory, but a file you need to edit is in the /etc/nginx/sites-available directory. In a fresh installation, that file is called default, so to edit it, use a command like nano -w default or sudoedit default. Those two commands assumes that you are working inside the /etc/nginx/sites-available directory.

nano -w default

I think I'm getting closer (i think)

Yep, you're on the right track.

? Offline

@Carl Yup, I'm in your boat! I tried the sites-enabled method, and the nginx.conf method, but no dice thus far.

-Turned use_port to false
-Tried listen to 80, or listen to myipaddress:80
-Tried proxy pass according to the wiki guidelines and also tried changing it to my IP address.

I'll wait until you get it working then copy EXACTLY what you did

Carl

@Kamal-Patel Ahh yes the struggle is real

I've read the tutorial over and over but I can't make sense of it, I'm not sure what it is telling me to do.

@Carl Have you aliased the file using

cd ../sites-enabled
ln -s ../sites-available

Carl

@a_5mith Hey, I just tried "cd ../sites-enabled" but I'm getting -bash: cd: "../sites-enabled: No such file or directory"

Haha I know it's simple but I just can my head around it.

julian

@Carl If you go into the "sites-enabled" directory, is "default" there?

Carl

@julian Umm I tried getting into the directory by "cd sites-enabled" but it's saying No such file or directory

julian

That directory should be in /etc/nginx

Carl

@julian said:

default

What do I shell to see if "default is there. I'm in carl@esports:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled$

a_5mith

@Carl ls should show you a default file.

Carl

@a_5mith

Ahh yeah default is in there, now what?:P Btw guys I appreciate the help (I'm not usually this dumb)

You can edit it with nano and add the proxy configuration that you need (copy it from the guide?). Last time I tried to use putty I couldn't copy and paste. You may have to type it by hand if you are in putty.

nano default

@Carl see this post,

Domain name

Hey guys put my servers namesever info for domain, I heard that it can take a few hours to work. I'm just wondering if I have to change anything else.

NodeBB Community (community.nodebb.org)

Make sure you've done the second step.

Carl

@HolyPhoenix

Shall I replace the text in the red box:

With this:
server {
listen 80;

server_name forum.example.org;

location / {
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567/;
    proxy_redirect off;

    # Socket.IO Support
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}

}

@a_5mith I tried "ln -s ../sites-available" It gave the out put "ln: failed to create symbolic link `./sites-available': File exists
"

julian

Did you restart nginx after editing that file? sudo service nginx reload

If it doesn't say [ OK ], there's possibly a syntax error.

Carl

@julian said:

sudo service nginx reload

Yup it said [OK] but can still only connect through esportsdig.com:4567/

a_5mith

@Carl have you gone back to your nodebb folder, ran the setup again and set use port to false?
