Cannot connect to my nodebb on local host.
-
@Apollo have you confirmed that the DNS is set up correctly?
-
For my Domain? If so yes, because first of all local host doesnt work either, and second I have sub directorys set up in my FTP of my webserver that is set up with name servers and works perfectly fine. I recently had MyBB setup but looking to switch over to NodeBB.
-
@Apollo ok I was just checking. You mentioned localhost doesn't work either. Is that using curl or something on the server itself?
There's a way to log out all ports and what processes are listening to them, can you try that and see if NodeBB shows up? Are you running NodeBB in dev mode, and in that case can you check for errors?

@Apollo this kind of thing happens pretty often, and usually it's not the fault of NodeBB. I can understand your frustration, and I'm trying to help you. Please bear with me.
Every question I ask, I ask for a reason. So please, try to answer all of my questions.
You can use
./nodebb dev
to start NodeBB in dev/debug mode, but you will need to run./nodebb stop
first to shut down the existing process. You can use./nodebb status
to see if NodeBB is currently running. All of these commands are documented with./nodebb help
.The command to list out processes and ports is
netstat -ltnp
. -
You mentioned localhost doesn't work either. What are using you test that? Please provide the exact command.
Can you post the output of the netstat command, the important information to gather from it is the processes that ports correspond to, not the listen state.

@Apollo what was the issue?
