where am I supposed to upload if I want to access nodebb.org/xxx.html

[sharonyue]

My domain is http:xxx.com, I want to access http:xxx.com/Bw3lRApMc4.txt for verfication. Which folder am I supposed to upload this Bw3lRApMc4.txt file?

I tried to set up the nginx:

server {
    listen 80;

    server_name xxx.com;

    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";
    }

    location /Bw3lRApMc4.txt {
        alias /nodebb/Bw3lRApMc4.txt;
    }
}

It shows

403 forbidden

instead of file does not exist. I think I can access the file, but it is forbidden...

Is the alias path the actual path? I presume nginx has access to that dir? I might suggest stashing that file in a dedicated dir of it's own rather than have misc. stuff in your nodebb root dir. Else maybe /nodebb/public.

Here is the snippet I use for dehydrated:

       location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge {
                alias /var/www/dehydrated;
       }

The caret tilde (^~) modifier turns off regex matching. No modifier at all means location is interpreted as a prefix match. In any case, I am unsure what your config at large is and what you are trying to accomplish but I suspect you need to tweak the modifier on you location statement, e.g. maybe an equals sign (=)??

Here's a link to the nginx location directive docs. Adapt accordingly?

This just a quick look. Not an nginx guru and I need some coffee so I may have missed the obvious?

Good luck!
