Invitiation only - Nginx proxy - wrong port in invite

Technical Support
  • Hi,

    Just getting my first NodeBB forums setup.

    I want the forums user signup to be "Admin Invitation Only".
    I have email configured, that's sending out email OK.
    I have an Nginx reverse proxy setup - it's doing SSL for the forums, listening to 443, and redirecting to 127.0.0.1:4567 and that works fine.

    My problem is that when I invite someone - they get the email, but the invite link is wrong. In the link (actual domain name redacted), there is forums.domain.com:4567 instead of https://forums.domain.com/
    I've looked at the email templates and they don't make any sense to me.

    Ideas, advise?

    Much appreciation for any help,
    Wayne

  • Nevermind, figured it out.
    Inside of config.json there is the url field and a port field... I had a port inside of the URL field, and I removed the port from the url and restarted nodebb, and it's working now!
