[Solved] Email Confirmation Link Problem

[GeoStyx]

##Hello all,

So here's my issue: I have nodebb proxy'd behind so that I can use HTTPS.

Now the issue is, confirmation links look like this:
https://example.com/:4567/confirm/9bd6b76e-284f-46f5-b9c8-2d958b5961dc

The problem: HTTPS is running on port 443. So the link goes to a 404 page.

Is it possible to change the port in the confirmation link?

###Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I set "use_port" to false in config.json and it works fine now.

Can you post the base_url and use_port properties in your config.json?

@julian After a few days of trying to figure this out, I fixed it 5 minutes after posting this (go figure.)

I changed "use_port": true to "use_port": false

"base_url": "https://mydomain.com"

Thank you for your time!

@GeoStyx hi where do you add the changed "use_port": true to "use_port": false

{
    "url": "http://localhost:4567",
    "secret": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "database": "redis",
    "redis": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": "6379",
        "password": "",
        "database": "0"
    }
}

thanks

use_port is no longer used, just don't put the port number in the url field and set up a reverse proxy (https://docs.nodebb.org/configuring/proxies/nginx/)
