Valid link to forum logo in email messages

[Twissell]

Hi!

I'm using NodeBB 1.17.1 running behind nginx reverse proxy.

All is good enough except one thing: sometimes link to forum logo for example in account confirmation message is malformed and starts with

http://localhost:4567/assets/...

Instead of

https://mydomain.tld/assets...

How to fix the issue?

@twissell As @PitaJ said, please restart nodebb.
Also check http://your_domain.com/admin/settings/general#site-logo if you have entered any value

The url value in config.json should be set to exactly the url at which you access your site.

@twissell Since I had your problem at the beginning of starting my forum. you should both edit your config.json file and /etc/nginx/sites-available/your_doman.conf file.

Here is my config.json file:

{
    "url": "http://pythonforum.ir",
    "secret": "SECRET",
    "database": "mongo",
    "port": "4567",
    "mongo": {
        "host": "IP",
        "port": "PORT",
        "username": "user",
        "password": "password",
        "database": "db",
        "uri": ""
    }

and here is my /etc/nginx/sites-available/your_doman.conf file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name pythonforum.ir www.pythonforum.ir;
    root /path_to_nodebb;
    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        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";
    }
}

Of course my website is running in SSL, but it should work for your without SSL too.

@inna Thanks for your valuable answer ontopic I'll try to fix this in a while. Since I'm a Sysadmin is an easy task for me to make correct reverse proxy config of nginx.
Have a nice day!

@pitaj I've rechecked all settings mentioned, they are correct, but link http://localhost:4567 is still there.
Might be I've to play around the setting in Debian's /etc/hosts file, haven't I?

@twissell share your both config.json and domain.conf file.
In my case, it redirects and works fine.

[Twissell]

@inna here we've

1. domain config

2. config.json

[PitaJ]

Can you please try restarting again and using a test email to try it out? If you have the correct value in config.json that should be all you need.

@twissell As @PitaJ said, please restart nodebb.

You are right. I'd to set up once again the logo URL and the issue has been fixed.
