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
"

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

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

sudo service nginx reload

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

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

... and then restarted your NodeBB?

Carl

Do either of you want to look in my server to see what I'm doing wrong or more importantly what I'm not doing I can message you the details

Carl

Had another go seen as my brain is fresh after class

I pasted the nginx configuration into "defualt when when I try and save it I get the error " [ Error writing default: Permission denied ]

julian

@Carl You'll have to edit that file as the root user, so sudo nano {that file}

Carl

@a_5mith said:

set use port to false

Thanks, now how do I set use port to false

julian

@Carl Edit config.json in your NodeBB folder, or as @a_5mith suggested, run ./nodebb setup again

Carl

@julian darn I ran the setup again but I still seem to need ":4567". Still getting welcome to nginx page....i feel so dumb
