Keeps losing connection
-
I started my NodeBB forum. Logged in then tried to make a topic. But I only got a "+" thing in the bottom right. I didnt get a text box. When this happened I got a notification saying my forum had lost connection.
However I check my nodebb log, and it seems fine. Im not sure what is causing it to lose connection, but I need to be able to fix it asap.My log shows:
"root@nodebb:~/nodebb# ./nodebb log
Hit Ctrl-C to exit

@rod said in Keeps losing connection:
I think it is time for a bot to run here looking for these types of questions and offer up a canned response.
Anyway, post your config.json file. You most likely do not have the URL configured correctly.
{
"url": "http://localhost:4567",
"secret": "bcd245ec-2cb4-465c-b5a0-18d4e61523f6",
"database": "mongo",
"port": 4567,
"mongo": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "27017",
"username": "MyDBUser",
"password": "MyDBPass",
"database": "MyDBname"
}
}obviously changed my db shit for that. But there it is.

Change your URL to the domain it is running on. Something like:
"url": "http://mydomain.com",
"port": "4567",It is a good idea to add the following entry to allow traffic to NodeBB only from your localhost, that being your webserver.
"bind_address": "127.0.0.1",Let your webserver control the traffic to NodeBB.

I would have posted earlier, but I dont have 3 rep.
Jesus im stupid. I just realised Im running "localhost" whilst trying to access it from an external PC. Changed it and it worked......
And also the bind address part. I wanna access it from other places aswell. But I got it sorted now. Thanks for your help!
