NodeBB With Apache2, Proxy
-
So I am trying to get my NodeBB working with Apache2 with this URL: "http://127.0.0.1/forum" But when ever I try it it says, "/ Not Found" Here is my config.json:
{ "url": "http://127.0.0.1/forum", "port": "3000", "secret": "6a6e220f-ecf3-40f9-8832-55e429184458", "bind_address": "0.0.0.0", "database": "mongo", "mongo": { "host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "27017", "username": "matt", "password": "20matt02", "database": "nodebb" }, "bcrypt_rounds": 12, "use_port": false, "relative_path": "/forum/" }And my 000-default.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80> # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless. # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly. #ServerName www.example.com ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/html # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn, # error, crit, alert, emerg. # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular # modules, e.g. #LogLevel info ssl:warn ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf". #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf ProxyRequests off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPass /socket.io/1/websocket ws://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/1/websocket ProxyPassReverse /socket.io/1/websocket ws://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/1/websocket ProxyPass /socket.io/ http://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/ ProxyPassReverse /socket.io/ http://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io/ ProxyPass /forum http://127.0.0.1:3000 ProxyPassReverse /forum http://127.0.0.1:3000 </VirtualHost> # vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet -
Here's a slimmed down version of the Apache config we use at forums.fogproject.org
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX ProxyRequests off <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/socket.io [NC] RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} transport=websocket [NC] RewriteRule /(.*) ws://127.0.0.1:4567/$1 [P,L] ProxyPassReverse /socket.io ws://127.0.0.1:4567/socket.io RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/ [NC] RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:4567/$1 [P,L] ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:4567/ </VirtualHost>Just change the ServerName and any references to the 4567 port.
- Your ServerName should read
ServerName localhost - Make sure inside of
/etc/hoststhere is a line that says127.0.0.1 localhost - No DocumentRoot is needed.
- Your ServerName should read

@Bilou said:
Try to add
ServerName 127.0.0.1/forum
in your 000-default.conf
And change your relative_path by "/" in config.json
Don't forget to change all the 4567 port by 3000.
Can you give me an example with the correct usage. I forgot to mention that none of the styles are showing up(The directory goes to like /forum/plugins/nodebb-plugin-markdown/styles/railscasts.css).
@jbob Thank you for the example, but it was giving me an error on startup(Apache) that said, "Job for apache2.service failed. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details." and I checked them, but it did not give me any details.

I got it working! For future people coming to this looking for an answer here are my config files:
NodeBB config.json:

@mttprvst13 It probably failed because you don't have mod_rewrite enabled.
Do
a2enmod rewrite systemctl restart apache2
