@MJ Looks like there is an error in the config file. You may have deleted a double quote or something on accident.

@teh_g I have this

{
    "url": "http://keen.wtf",
    "secret": "2f00fc31-fcaf-473b-bc14-1192d075e68a",
    "database": "mongo",
    "port": 80,
    "mongo": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": "27017",
        "username": "nodebb",
        "database": "nodebb"
    "socket.io": {
    "origins": "http://keen.wtf:* http://www.keen.wtf:*"
  	}
    }
}

@MJ you're missing a closing bracket for the mongo block

MJ

@PitaJ like this?

{
    "url": "http://keen.wtf",
    "secret": "2f00fc31-fcaf-473b-bc14-1192d075e68a",
    "database": "mongo",
    "port": 80,
    "mongo": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": "27017",
        "username": "nodebb",
        "database": "nodebb"
    }
    "socket.io": {
    "origins": "http://keen.wtf:* http://www.keen.wtf:*"
  	}
}

MJ

@MJ and you need a comma after the bracket. There are many many JSON validators and editors available through the internet. Use them, they'll make things easier.

Alternatively... I suppose @MJ can put this in his config.json:
{
  ...
  "socket.io": {
    "origins": "http://domain.tld:* http://www.domain.tld:*"
  }
  ...
}

I did this, but no success.

the site is still available if you go to http://1.keen.wtf

but does it something has to do with this problem?

here is dev log

PitaJ

in your case, put http://1.keen.wtf http://keen.wtf

MJ

@PitaJ no I mean I want everything is dissabled and only http://keen.wtf is good. and other things are linked to http://keen.. like if a user goes to 1.keen.wtf it goes to http://keen.wtf or is this not possible?

PitaJ

@MJ yeah that has to done in nginx

server {
  server_name 1.keen.wtf;
  return 301 $scheme://example.com$request_uri;
}

MJ

@PitaJ okay, but I don't have Nginx.. Is it possible to install Nginx if NodeBB is alreaddy set up?

You could also do it at the DNS level.
