@Carl see this post,

Domain name

Hey guys put my servers namesever info for domain, I heard that it can take a few hours to work. I'm just wondering if I have to change anything else.

NodeBB Community (community.nodebb.org)

Make sure you've done the second step.

@HolyPhoenix

Shall I replace the text in the red box:

With this:
server {
listen 80;

server_name forum.example.org;

location / {
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567/;
    proxy_redirect off;

    # Socket.IO Support
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}

}

@a_5mith I tried "ln -s ../sites-available" It gave the out put "ln: failed to create symbolic link `./sites-available': File exists
"

Did you restart nginx after editing that file? sudo service nginx reload

If it doesn't say [ OK ], there's possibly a syntax error.

sudo service nginx reload

Yup it said [OK] but can still only connect through esportsdig.com:4567/

[a_5mith]

@Carl have you gone back to your nodebb folder, ran the setup again and set use port to false?

... and then restarted your NodeBB?

[Carl]

Do either of you want to look in my server to see what I'm doing wrong or more importantly what I'm not doing I can message you the details

[Carl]

Had another go seen as my brain is fresh after class

I pasted the nginx configuration into "defualt when when I try and save it I get the error " [ Error writing default: Permission denied ]

[julian]

@Carl You'll have to edit that file as the root user, so sudo nano {that file}

@a_5mith said:

set use port to false

Thanks, now how do I set use port to false

[julian]

@Carl Edit config.json in your NodeBB folder, or as @a_5mith suggested, run ./nodebb setup again

[Carl]

@julian darn I ran the setup again but I still seem to need ":4567". Still getting welcome to nginx page....i feel so dumb
