Might as well add another cog to my plan im on cent os

Steve

@julian any advice or opinion on what they're asking in the post above?

Steve

BTW it's not just the footer (aka the stats) loading slow. This like in admin panel take forever to show up, clicking quote, etc.. anything I presume hitting the proxy but we have fully determined I don't know a whole lot on servers

julian

If you are using nginx, you will require at least version 1.3.13, as that is the first version supporting proxying of web sockets.

Edit: Unfortunately, I have no experience with web socket proxying on apache, and cannot help

@OutlawedOffroad -- any chance you can get a member of LW Support onto this forum to chat?

Done. Just emailed thread link and let them know everyone wants to work together to figure it out for both the community and them as a host that can support NodeBB users.

Steve

Productive day yesterday and night both on my end starting to re-color, resize, etc.. the theme but more importantly LW has totally delivered the awesome sauce. I'm waiting on permission to share since it's their code/work but I can post where I'm at today.

1 - nginx version needed is not in their current build. The people responsible for that did tell support it can be done, but they need a few days. The last thing I'm going is putting pressure as I believe they have gone above and beyond as it is. When they get it sorted the last major "issue" of lag will be squashed and I can tell family and friends, etc.. to check it out.

2 - Dan from the late night support kicks major ass. He offered 2 nights ago to help setup scripts for the cpanel service checker. Now every 3-5 minutes it checks for an active http response on port 4567. If it does not get one it fires up the kill script to clear out any hung processes and starts it back up.

I will share the .sh files once they give me the thumbs up. I just believe in asking first when it's someone else's hard work put in.

Less than a week so far and the thread on here basically saying CentOS guys have a lot of work to get it going has become CentOS guys have 1 or 2 small hurdles left to clear and then we can all use NodeBB.. BOOOOOM!!!

Steve

Their timeline of "a few days" apparently includes the time between telling me and doing other things.. Already working on updating ngix today for the server.. Can't say it enough how great their support is for anyone else needed a self-hosted option they are going above and beyond the call of duty to help make this happen for me.

More details later.. Football and food now..

Steve

The 10 sec delay happens in Safari but not in Chrome. So that makes it even stranger but maybe easier to identify the issue. LW updated nginx and it looking into it more for me now..

Steve

So I moved to Digital Ocean for the sake of not screwing up my existing forums.. the proxy was screwing up the tapatalk and whatever else so it was not worth breaking 2 good sites for 1 test site.

dad-forums.com now is proxy on and resolving to the right stuff, blah blah..

but... i'm having that same data issue.. here's my config file per the wiki..

upstream nodebb {
server 162.243.229.221:4567;
}

server {
listen 80;

server_name dad-forums.com;
root /home/steve/mynodebb/install;

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://nodebb/;
    proxy_redirect off;

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

}

anyone see something i'm missing here?

Steve

Weird cause at dad-forums.com:4567 it's working just fine with the counters and no delays anywhere.. so it's still happening now on DO as well.. so it must be something i'm doing or not doing.

next up is to move the data over i'm sure that's going to be a treat lol

@OutlawedOffroad

Looks good to me, although you can probably change this section:

upstream nodebb {
    server 162.243.229.221:4567;
}

to

upstream nodebb {
    server 127.0.0.1:4567;
}

Steve

PITA I have to keep rebooting the DO server for the site to work more than 5 min at a time. Then it goes to a white page..

I made the update to the IP, powering it down and up now.. restarting nginx, node, forever, whatever else seems to do nothing and it just hangs.

Steve

Here's how the site looks... when going direct to dad-forums.com where it's going the proxy.. keep in mind if I go to the same link and add the port :4567 it works just fine.

Steve

Now ~5min later the dad-forums.com ghosts up to a white page, but the :4567 still trucking along with no problems...

Jeeeeeeeez I'm glad I got a lot of hair so if I pull some out there's plenty left.

edit: spoke too soon, both sides a white screen now lol.

Steve

You can also notice that I can go to Admin cause i'm logged in.. but on forums home it's not showing me in the top left corner as logged in..

Direct to the :4567 port all of this works just skippy.

Steve

from nginx error log, I have pages of this error.

2013/12/10 19:34:22 [error] 614#0: *1 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 67.225.149.136, server: dad-forums.com, request: "GET /socket.io/1/?t=1386704047703 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/1/?t=1386704047703", host: "dad-forums.com", referrer: "http://dad-forums.com/"

Steve

this is the other error I'm seeing a bunch of as well:

Perhaps it will help you to know that I have been checking in on dad-forums.com periodically throughout the day, and it has been up every time?

I've been resetting it constantly lol you might just have good luck.. buy a lotto ticket

Steve

Let's confuse the issue deeper...

Site just went white in my browser. too long to read error in the error.log for nginx.

I open up Chrome, it works.
I open up my iPad, it works (also a Safari based item).

So something in Safari/desktop is not playing nice with the site.

BUTTT (there's always one)

The site does not show stats, admin info, etc. in ANY of these broswers or devices unless I load the site up with the port # info :4567 -- also the same re: Login showing after signing in and getting Admin access.. all that happens over everything.

So I'm thinking it's a nginx setup issue because it's obviously not node/forever/etc.. they're all ok.. it's something with the proxy/nginx config.
