Error installing Mandrill emailer plugin

finid

Ok, so I have Mandrill up and running. Just one major issue: The verification email is taking the form http://127.0.0.1:4567/confirm/27fd50fb-fa87-4f6e-be77-27.

That's not good. I think it has to do with a proxy_set_header setting, but I'm not too sure.

While I'm googling, anybody dealt with this before?

Btw, my setup is Varnish >> Nginx >> NodeBB

What's the base_url in your config.json?

In the code:

var reset_link = nconf.get('url') + '/reset/' + reset_code;

Which relies on base_url, afaik.

http://127.0.0.1

Is there any rule against setting base_url to domain name instead of to localhost?

julian

The base_url is used purely to construct absolute urls in places in the front-end. It should be set to your site's address (http://forum.linuxbsdos.com)

Thanks. That means modifying at least one option in Varnish, but I think that will remove the loopback address from log entries pertaining to NodeBB.

Hi,

I have nginx running on top of nodebb. When the mandrill plugin sends the "verification email" it uses the localhost (127.0.0.1) insted of my domain.

I cannot change the "base_url" because it will break my nginx-proxy setup. What can i do?

@limker Change your nginx-proxy setup too?

What?

I meant, changing "base_url" to "mydomain.com" won't work.

Fixed, i had to as suggested by several users to change my "base_url" or "url" (depends on your nodebb version). But i had to add the key "port" in the config.json as well.

"url": "http://myforum.com",
"port": "1234"
