This might not be a direct answer to your problem, but did you ever considered to use NGINX?

If not drop me a message, I would greatly assist you to try it out

You've followed the guides shown here, right? https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/configuring/proxies.html

Other than that I cannot help as my experience lies with nginx as well

I switched to Nginx 1.6.x and following the reverse proxy for nginx. Doesn't show me where to put the config listed. My conf.d folder is empty

@Defaultuser you can create a file named default.conf in conf.d folder and add your config to it.

Defaultuser

I added a default.conf and put in there. Doesn't work
server {
listen 80;

server_name forum.mydomain.com;

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://127.0.0.1:4567/;
    proxy_redirect off;

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

}

@Defaultuser did you restart nginx?

julian

Execute nginx -t as root to debug your config and see what the problem is.

As @pichalite said, also make sure nginx has restarted successfully.

Defaultuser

I did restart it. Guess it took time because it works now! Thanks everyone. Also thumbs up on the nginx recommendation!
