How do I remove the port from domain?

[Yaşar Baturalp Artar]

Hello,

In config.json I've stated the url without port, now I can enter the website by "http://x.com:4567" but "http://x.com" does not work. How can I overcome this? Thanks.

You have to setup NGINX as a reverse proxy. It will then be NGINX that answers queries from the internet and then passes them to NodeBB.

Have a read here.

@duke "nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)" This error occurs everytime. There is a property in my Google Cloud DNS which binds the domain and external IP together. Could it be the problem?

When I run sudo netstat -tulpn | grep --color :80, the result below occurs.
tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 17631/nginx -g daem

Sounds like apache or some other web server might already be running on that port.

ps aux | grep apache
