Can someone help a dummy out (me)?
I installed nginx and am at the NodeBB wiki page for configuring nginx as a proxy server. So far I've just been following instructions word for word, but I'm a newb and don't know what to do with this:
NGINX-served sites are contained in a server block. This block of options goes in a specific place based on how nginx was installed and configured:
/path/to/nginx/sites-available/* -- files here must be aliased to ../sites-enabled
/path/to/nginx/conf.d/*.conf -- filenames must end in .conf
/path/to/nginx/httpd.conf -- if all else fails
Below is the basic nginx configuration for a NodeBB build running on port 4567:
server {
listen 80;
etc etc etc

Alright, I can do that. Didn't want to post a new topic since I'm sort of embarrassed -- the original poster seemed to also not have too much knowledge, but even he figured out how to set up reverse proxy.

The way I found the correct file to update was to look in the /path/to/nginx/conf.d/ file for different files. I don't remember what I saw, but I saw it reference something else that vestacp had created for me under /home/username/web. I went to those files and followed the path even more until I found the actual .conf for the domain I wanted to use and modified the config it had created for me to one that proxies the port. You would be correct that you have to edit a text configuration file, I used nano but I suppose you could use emacs.
When I get home from work I'll see if I can figure out for sure what I did. All I know is that once I found the conf.d folder I was able to trace my way up to the appropriate place.
@HolyPhoenix Hold on, did you have a bacon signature yesterday? I made bacon in the oven last night and damn it was crispy! Also, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
