"database": "redis",
"redis": {

},
"bcrypt_rounds": 12,
"upload_path": "/public/uploads",

You will need to setup a webserver with a reverse proxy.
Look at the wiki for using nginx with nodebb.

@Scuzz thanks for reply.

I am on apache, exist some wiki for this?

Unfortunately not since we all use nginx, but if you stick around here, somebody else from the community may use apache and be able to help you!

Thanks Julian.

I have been able to install on Apache adding this to the vhost config:

ProxyPass /community http://localhost:4567/
ProxyPassReverse /community http://localhost:4567/

When I run via comand line, I got this error:

What can be?

Thanks!!

Looks like your Redis server is not currently running.

kamov

@julian Thanks for reply.

I got this warning, which said that require nodejs 0.8, but I am using higher 0.10

Does this can cause some issue?

@kamov -- most likely this should cause no problems.

I was able install with success, but now I have an error.

My config.json is this:

{
"base_url": "http://204.x.x.x",
"port": "4567",
"use_port": false,
"secret": "7dcaa8a3-2c7d-4782-8022-f57e151ac5cf",
"bind_address": "domain.com/community",
"database": "redis",
"redis": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "6379",
"password": "",
"database": "0"
},
"bcrypt_rounds": 12,
"upload_path": "/public/uploads",
"relative_path": ""
}

And I have added a proxy

ProxyPass /community http://localhost:4567/
ProxyPassReverse /community http://localhost:4567/

When I go to domain.com/community

My server is centos + apache.

If you are installing in a subfolder, during node app --setup you have to put in http://domain.com/community as the URL of the installation, then your relative_path will be /community.

julian

Please change the following:

bind_addressshould be left to 0.0.0.0, otherwise nobody will be able to access your NodeBB
base_url can be domain.com/community.

kamov

Thanks @baris and thanks @Julian

Thanks to your tips I was able sort out this!

The main problem seem when you are trying to install nodebb into a subfolder.

Finally the headache has passed.

Thanks!!
