@julian Oh sorry I stopped my EC2 Instance cause I don't want to go over my monthly allotment. Im tired rn and first thing tomorrow i'll try a reinstall and if the same problem arises i'll update this post.
This may help BUT!!!! it will erase your database:
If you remove config.json - I believe nodebb will create a new one, and will initialize the forum from scratch.
Kindly note, I am a user like you, not part of the dev team so my knowledge is limited. I may be wrong, but I actually think this trick will work.
Good luck!

I hope it helps someone:
I wanted to do this, so I landed upon this thread. I had already created nginx proxy for my domain. So I basically just added /discuss (or whatever location you want)
server {
listen 443;
listen [::]:443;
server_name site.com;
access_log off;
error_log /var/log/nginx/site.com-error.log;
open_file_cache max=2000 inactive=20s;
open_file_cache_valid 60s;
open_file_cache_min_uses 5;
open_file_cache_errors off;

# Custom 404
error_page 404 = /404.html;
}
However, there are many other issues.
If I specify in config.json url as site.com/forum or something, css files don't load.
If I don't, if you click on anything, it will try to go to site.com/post/2/something instead of site.com/forum/post/2 etc.
