Hello. guys. i have found this,:https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/wiki/Configuring-nginx-as-a-proxy-to-NodeBB,

@xenofilodotcom
--conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
I think this is the right file

Scuzz

it will be in your sites available folder. It should be in /etc/nginx/sites-available/website.co.uk where website.co.uk is your website domain.

Both are correct. You can add the new server{} block in nginx.conf, or (ideally) in a separate file in /etc/nginx/sites-available.

If the latter, ensure that /etc/nginx/sites-enabled is parsed (not all nginx configs do this).

well. thx so much for all reply, the nginx .conf works for me. and i found you should put 0.0.0.0 before the port 80. so it would look like

server {
listen 0.0.0.0:80;

server_name forum.example.org;

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";
}

}
