@gotwf I'm not sure it's been weeks ago I wrote this. 😄

Maybe I did not find this or something didn't work for me. I can't tell you...

Definitely would appreciate updates to our documentation so you can help others facing similar problems! 😄 Glad you're on your way.

Yes, the url in config.json should be equal to exactly the URL at which you access your site. It usually shouldn't be localhost or an IP address.

Bringing an old thread to life again, sorry!

I'd also love some help with the instructions for running this in a Docker image. It would make life a bit easier for deploying this in DigitalOcean.

There's an edit button on the top right, and making a new page is as easy as just cloning and copying and pasting another guide and editing it

Hi folks,

I used the 2.4 proxy instructions from the docs. But it's not working correctly for me. I assume because I want the proxy to only work on '/community'.

Here's my current setup:

I have a proxy here: https://openrct2.com/community (HTTPS) NodeBB actually runs on: http://delia.limetric.com:4567/community/ (just normal HTTP)

The proxy itself works great, but socket.io keeps complaining about not being able to connect using websockets: "WebSocket connection to 'wss://openrct2.com/community/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket&sid=OORktGqFRszzHMQNAAWr' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 400"

Here's a pastebin to my Apache config: http://pastebin.com/UMMadXVR

What should I change to my config to make websockets work correctly?

Thanks in advance.

Then, I opened my thread in the good topic. I would request that feature. 😉

Ubuntu 16.04 config, if someone might come up with that problem

@a_5mith I have it setup on a new DO droplet using the server IP (no domain yet) for both server_name and the base_url - basically replacing localhost referenced in my previous post. Hope that makes sense.

for example:
"base_url": "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",
server_name xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;

working url via http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:4567/forum
404 not found for http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/forum

Appreciate all you help.

@jmj I found that this thread was deleted, I've restored it because I think it will be useful to someone in the future. Hope that's OK with you - and I'm glad you figured it out 🙂

@markkus Sounds good to me. 👍 Hopefully this also solves @helltux's issue too.

Assuming he correctly substitutes his IP in proxy_pass and his domain name in base_url. 😆

hi @Matt-Worthington . Nice to see you here. 🙂
